Issue sending a 130 chars json as response to a get request

PostPosted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 12:19 pm

Hi guys,
I've an esp8266 connected with an arduino UNO to make an automated watering system based on value get from a soil moisture sensor. Now i'm trying to make a real time console to monitor the situation and power on/off the pump on demand.

I'm able to send get request from a client to the esp and i'm also i'am able to control same sensor connected with the arduino from get request.

Now the problem. After the esp receive and process the request and do what it have to do, it is not able to sent the response to the client, but also if the json that have to be returned is longer than 130 character... I've tried a lot of things but i've no more ideas. can you help me please?

This code as is will not give response to a get request, but if you remove root["test"] json property, it will.

Help me guys
