HTTPD Server Persistent Sockets Example

The Example consists of HTTPD server persistent sockets demo. This sort of persistency enables the server to have independent sessions/contexts per client.

• Run make menuconfig (or idf.py menuconfig if using CMake build system) to configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in examples/protocols/README.md for more details.

• In order to test the HTTPD server persistent sockets demo :

  1. compile and burn the firmware "make flash"
  2. run "make monitor" and note down the IP assigned to your ESP module. The default port is 80
  3. run the test script "python2 scripts/adder.py <IP> <port> <N>"
     • the provided test script sends (POST) numbers from 1 to N to the server which has a URI POST handler for adding these numbers into an accumulator that is valid throughout the lifetime of the connection socket, hence persistent
     • the script does a GET before closing and displays the final value of the accumulator

See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.
