WANTED: ESP8622 standalone webserver example with http reque

Hey all,

I am looking for a good example of an esp standalone arduino webserver with html and http requests.
Something simple like switching an led on and off based on a http request.

Side note: I manage to make html webservers on my wemos d1 board and find them locally. I manage to make ethernet webservers locally on my uno with http requests. When i try to include http requests like "ProcessCheckbox()" in a wifi.client example it refuses to compile for some reason. Ideally I'd like to get the following example working on my Wemos board: https://startingelectronics.org/tutoria ... D-control/

I can do html , css and some JS , I can do basic ethernet sketches and arduino... But for this I really just need a push in the right direction. All help is appreciated!!

This sketch results in super stable server and you can turn off and on two LEDs.

Hi volthaus,

I expereince some problems with the webserver, sometimes a request from the browser is intterupted during send out data with :er -8

I tried your sketch, modified it to stream out a table with data and was very happy to see that about 200 requests were processed correctly. BUT at about 350 request the same error appeared :(

here is the modified code:

Any ideas what is wrong here?
I have asked a question here regarding the same issue, but that it is not reviewed by mod yet.
