I know I can't be the only one who wants to know something like this, but I haven't been able to find an answer. If I'm running a typical webserver using the ESP8266WebServer library, how do I tell if the server is running. To try and make the question a little more clear (but probably making it worse) let me pose this example. The code in different situations issues server.begin commands and server.stop commands...Is there some way that I can tell what the current state of the server is? This seems like it's going to be a face/palm moment when I figure it out, but it's got me stumped right now


Thanks for your help
