nodemcu-httpserver
A (very) simple web server written in Lua for the ESP8266 firmware NodeMCU.
Features
- GET
- Multiple MIME types
- Error pages (404 and others)
How to use
-
Upload httpserver.lua using luatool.py or equivalent. Add the following to your init.lua in order to start the server:
require("httpserver") server = httpserver.start(80, 10)80 is the port your server is listening to, and 10 is the timeout (in seconds) for clients.
-
Upload the files you want to serve. Again, use luatool.py or similar and upload the HTML and other files.
All the files you upload must be prefixed with "http/". Wait, what?
Yes: NodeMCU's filesystem does not support folders, but filenames can contain slashes.
-
Visit your server from a web browser.
Example: Say the IP for your ESP8266 is 2.2.2.2 and the server is running in the default port 80. Go to http://2.2.2.2/index.html using your web browser. The ESP8266 will serve you with the contents of the file "http/myPage.html" (if it exists). If you visit the root (/) then index.html is server. By the way, the URLs are case-sensitive.
Not supported
- Other methods: HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS, CONNECT, PATCH
- Server side scripting.
