According to the GCC man page, __section__ attributes should only be used
for global variables. However, the PROGMEM and ICACHE_RODATA macros use
this variable decorator even for local variables. Most of the time it works,
but when a static or inlined function tries to use a PROGMEM/PSTR/etc.
variable the compiler can throw an error like:
error: XXX causes a section type conflict with YYY
Change the PROGMEM macro to emit a section name that is unique (a combo
of the file, line, and counter variables to ensure uniqueness). The
standard linker script will place them properly in .IROM without
any changes.
Fixes#5036 and others.
Adds SSL server mode for WiFiServerSecure, for plain SSL connections,
ESP8266WebServerSecure, for HTTPS web serving, and SecureHTTPSUpdater for
encrypted OTA updates.
Example code is provided for all new options, as well as a BASH script for
generating their own, self-signed certificates.
Both ESP8266WebServerSecure and SecureHTTPSUpdater are important for secure
password-based authentication. HTTP Basic Authentication, the only supported
model presently, sends the username and password in *cleartext* and therefore
should *never* be used in any un-SSL encrypted channel unless you don't mind
sharing your login and password with anyone else on the internet. Even if the
ESP8266 is not safety critical, this cleartext broadcast could expose you should
you reuse this password elsewhere on your network or the internet.
