Just browse to ESP_!P_ADDR/file?file=index.htm
I copied jquery onto the esp, not necessary if you don't intend to run the ESP in AP mode. I had to add a callback to the javascript otherwise the ESP gets inundated with request's and crashes. I tried to use multiple variables i.e wget "http://192.168.4.1/msg?pin=2&stat=1&action=po" -q -O - but again the ESP could not keep up and crashed. With one variable I could move the slider as much and as fast as I could.
