- Mon Feb 05, 2018 5:35 pm #73734 Hi everyone. I am usng this WiFi Manager library : https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/

It's good, but I would vastly prefer to serve my html, css & js from the flash memory.

Can somebody offer an example sketch which serves the in memory pages, from the filesystem instead of the ones in memory?

I have read and tried changing the server to a SPIFFS server(https://github.com/r-downing/SPIFFSReadServer) rather than a ESP8266WebServer, but the result is never stable. Please offer an example of how this can be done.

My current effort is attached to this post.

Please help!

or for a simpler one look in the example files for ESP8266WebServer - FSBrowser
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree ... /FSBrowser

I hope you are taking into account the limited number of simultaneous connections the ESP8266 can handle. Browsers will fire off as many requests as it can and that will make the ESP choke. If you have more than a few files to serve then you need to consider how to prevent the browser from calling all of them at once.

A guess that would likely result in 3 browser requests in very quick succession. I will also need to somehow mash the WiFiManager together with this FSBrowser library by the looks of things. Sound right?
