Use platform.local.txt to add -Werror to GCC for the build of all
code. Any warnings on a submitted patch will cause an error.
Several examples and libraries had warnings/errors (missing returns
on functions, types, etc.). Clean those up with this commit as well.
The certificate fingerprint included with the HTTPSRequest example seems
to be for an expired api.github.com certificate. Replace with the current
one to avoid reporting "certificate mismatch" errors when running.
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.
- add probe request event handler (#2910)
- update WiFi events handling example to use new handler
Pro tip: replace blinking LED with ‘analogWrite’ and connect the pin to
a loudspeaker (or use a servo to hit a bell). Get notified when someone
with a smartphone wanders around your country house.
Many people have problems with using ESP8266 as WiFi-client due to
none of the examples mentioning that you should use WIFI_STA if you
only want the ESP8266 to act as a WiFi-client. Many WiFi-devices
will randomly try to connect to the ESP8266 if used as STA+AP and
complain about not being able to access the Internet or other devices
on the network.
Instead of hardwiring the IP address of one server into the program, look-up an IP address from the host name. This way you get a random server from the pool each time.
