I'm a newbie and had a quick question.

Is there a simple way to have both the convenience of setting up the network SSID as descibred here

and easy integration via MQTT.

Regards

The default esphttp project was designed to support quite a bit on the httpd side, which you might not need if you are only using it for wifi configuration. If you are going down that road, you could strip a bunch out of the base esphttps for template support and just use static html in the firmware. This would remove the need for the espfs and remove a bunch of code that would only otherwise be taking up memory. Would also give you more programming space.

Do you need to AP survey functionality provided by esphttpd or would a simple form for SSID and key suffice?

While there's some general makefile hackery involved, you could basically take the mqtt-specific files and dump them in the esphttpd tree, then refer the mqtt functions in your user_main.c file.
