What is the license of this lib?
Does it work with LITTLEFS?
Can i serve pages from the file system?
Does http post and get working?
Is websocket working and stabil?
Sorry for the questions.
Ah sorry yes, no licence, I think it has to be GPL due to the parasitic nature of that I will look into it. I have not added any support for serving from a file system in this library but is supported by Mongoose, not sure about LittleFS however.
WebSockets work well in my main usecase and they are used quite heavily.
Oh nice. GPL or LGPL would be really good. Do you plan to support file systems? I want to port my code from Me_no_Dev's async lib to this, because this is really promising, but i'm using LITTLE FS on esp32 and i really want to keep that to serve pages from the file system. Also heavily using POST and GET requests too but the websocket on that lib is running me craazyy
On the licensing, Mongoose can be used under GPLv2 according to https://cesanta.com/licensing.html so you should be good there. I will officially post a Licence agreement once I confirm how to interact with Cesanta's commercial licence.
On Little FS I did do some initial investigation into filesystem support but it is a little tricky with Mongoose v6. From what I have been reading v7 should make this a little easier so that may be a pre-requisite. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to do either of those tasks right now :( However if you are just serving static content maybe consider embedding the content into the firmware (see https://github.com/OpenEVSE/ESP32_WiFi_V3.x/ for an example) this makes OTA upgrades much simpler.
Unfortunatelly i can't embed the files because i have to do upgrades to the webpages separatelly.
My current setup is that i can replace files one by one from web if i want to and i can upgrade the firmware separate from the web. I have built a file system interaction ui thingy where i can manipulate the files in the file system as much as i want. i can download, upload, delete, replace these files and i want it to stay that way. If i embed these files into the firmware, like a webpage html to PROGMEM i would have to write these again. This is super easy for me that way, and also it behaves like a real server by declaring routes to files in the FS etc..
