HTTP Server

[中文]

Overview

The HTTP Server component provides an ability for running a lightweight web server on ESP32-S3. Following are detailed steps to use the API exposed by HTTP Server:

  • httpd_start(): Creates an instance of HTTP server, allocate memory/resources for it depending upon the specified configuration and outputs a handle to the server instance. The server has both, a listening socket (TCP) for HTTP traffic, and a control socket (UDP) for control signals, which are selected in a round robin fashion in the server task loop. The task priority and stack size are configurable during server instance creation by passing httpd_config_t structure to httpd_start(). TCP traffic is parsed as HTTP requests and, depending on the requested URI, user registered handlers are invoked which are supposed to send back HTTP response packets.

  • httpd_stop(): This stops the server with the provided handle and frees up any associated memory/resources. This is a blocking function that first signals a halt to the server task and then waits for the task to terminate. While stopping, the task will close all open connections, remove registered URI handlers and reset all session context data to empty.

  • httpd_register_uri_handler(): A URI handler is registered by passing object of type httpd_uri_t structure which has members including uri name, method type (eg. HTTPD_GET/HTTPD_POST/HTTPD_PUT etc.), function pointer of type esp_err_t *handler (httpd_req_t *req) and user_ctx pointer to user context data.

Application Example

/* Our URI handler function to be called during GET /uri request */
esp_err_t get_handler(httpd_req_t *req)
{
    /* Send a simple response */
    const char resp[] = "URI GET Response";
    httpd_resp_send(req, resp, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN);
    return ESP_OK;
}

/* Our URI handler function to be called during POST /uri request */
esp_err_t post_handler(httpd_req_t *req)
{
    /* Destination buffer for content of HTTP POST request.
     * httpd_req_recv() accepts char* only, but content could
     * as well be any binary data (needs type casting).
     * In case of string data, null termination will be absent, and
     * content length would give length of string */
    char content[100];

    /* Truncate if content length larger than the buffer */
    size_t recv_size = MIN(req->content_len, sizeof(content));

    int ret = httpd_req_recv(req, content, recv_size);
    if (ret <= 0) {  /* 0 return value indicates connection closed */
        /* Check if timeout occurred */
        if (ret == HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT) {
            /* In case of timeout one can choose to retry calling
             * httpd_req_recv(), but to keep it simple, here we
             * respond with an HTTP 408 (Request Timeout) error */
            httpd_resp_send_408(req);
        }
        /* In case of error, returning ESP_FAIL will
         * ensure that the underlying socket is closed */
        return ESP_FAIL;
    }

    /* Send a simple response */
    const char resp[] = "URI POST Response";
    httpd_resp_send(req, resp, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN);
    return ESP_OK;
}

/* URI handler structure for GET /uri */
httpd_uri_t uri_get = {
    .uri      = "/uri",
    .method   = HTTP_GET,
    .handler  = get_handler,
    .user_ctx = NULL
};

/* URI handler structure for POST /uri */
httpd_uri_t uri_post = {
    .uri      = "/uri",
    .method   = HTTP_POST,
    .handler  = post_handler,
    .user_ctx = NULL
};

/* Function for starting the webserver */
httpd_handle_t start_webserver(void)
{
    /* Generate default configuration */
    httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();

    /* Empty handle to esp_http_server */
    httpd_handle_t server = NULL;

    /* Start the httpd server */
    if (httpd_start(&server, &config) == ESP_OK) {
        /* Register URI handlers */
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &uri_get);
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &uri_post);
    }
    /* If server failed to start, handle will be NULL */
    return server;
}

/* Function for stopping the webserver */
void stop_webserver(httpd_handle_t server)
{
    if (server) {
        /* Stop the httpd server */
        httpd_stop(server);
    }
}

Simple HTTP server example

Check HTTP server example under protocols/http_server/simple where handling of arbitrary content lengths, reading request headers and URL query parameters, and setting response headers is demonstrated.

Persistent Connections

HTTP server features persistent connections, allowing for the re-use of the same connection (session) for several transfers, all the while maintaining context specific data for the session. Context data may be allocated dynamically by the handler in which case a custom function may need to be specified for freeing this data when the connection/session is closed.

Persistent Connections Example

/* Custom function to free context */
void free_ctx_func(void *ctx)
{
    /* Could be something other than free */
    free(ctx);
}

esp_err_t adder_post_handler(httpd_req_t *req)
{
    /* Create session's context if not already available */
    if (! req->sess_ctx) {
        req->sess_ctx = malloc(sizeof(ANY_DATA_TYPE));  /*!< Pointer to context data */
        req->free_ctx = free_ctx_func;                  /*!< Function to free context data */
    }

    /* Access context data */
    ANY_DATA_TYPE *ctx_data = (ANY_DATA_TYPE *)req->sess_ctx;

    /* Respond */
    ...............
    ...............
    ...............

    return ESP_OK;
}

This function overrides the web server’s send function. This same function is used to send out any response to any HTTP request.

Note

This API is supposed to be called either from the context of

  • an http session APIs where sockfd is a valid parameter

  • a URI handler where sockfd is obtained using httpd_req_to_sockfd()

Return

  • ESP_OK : On successfully registering override

Note

This API is supposed to be called either from the context of

  • an http session APIs where sockfd is a valid parameter

  • a URI handler where sockfd is obtained using httpd_req_to_sockfd()

Return

  • ESP_OK : On successfully registering override

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

Parameters

  • [in] hd: HTTPD instance handle

  • [in] sockfd: Session socket FD

  • [in] pending_func: The receive function to be set for this session

int httpd_req_to_sockfd(httpd_req_t *r)

Get the Socket Descriptor from the HTTP request.

This API will return the socket descriptor of the session for which URI handler was executed on reception of HTTP request. This is useful when user wants to call functions that require session socket fd, from within a URI handler, ie. : httpd_sess_get_ctx(), httpd_sess_trigger_close(), httpd_sess_update_lru_counter().

Note

This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

Return

  • Socket descriptor : The socket descriptor for this request

  • -1 : Invalid/NULL request pointer

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request whose socket descriptor should be found

int httpd_req_recv(httpd_req_t *r, char *buf, size_t buf_len)

API to read content data from the HTTP request.

This API will read HTTP content data from the HTTP request into provided buffer. Use content_len provided in httpd_req_t structure to know the length of data to be fetched. If content_len is too large for the buffer then user may have to make multiple calls to this function, each time fetching ‘buf_len’ number of bytes, while the pointer to content data is incremented internally by the same number.

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • If an error is returned, the URI handler must further return an error. This will ensure that the erroneous socket is closed and cleaned up by the web server.

  • Presently Chunked Encoding is not supported

Return

  • Bytes : Number of bytes read into the buffer successfully

  • 0 : Buffer length parameter is zero / connection closed by peer

  • HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_INVALID : Invalid arguments

  • HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT : Timeout/interrupted while calling socket recv()

  • HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_FAIL : Unrecoverable error while calling socket recv()

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

  • [in] buf: Pointer to a buffer that the data will be read into

  • [in] buf_len: Length of the buffer

size_t httpd_req_get_hdr_value_len(httpd_req_t *r, const char *field)

Search for a field in request headers and return the string length of it’s value.

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • Once httpd_resp_send() API is called all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.

Return

  • Length : If field is found in the request URL

  • Zero : Field not found / Invalid request / Null arguments

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

  • [in] field: The header field to be searched in the request

esp_err_t httpd_req_get_hdr_value_str(httpd_req_t *r, const char *field, char *val, size_t val_size)

Get the value string of a field from the request headers.

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • Once httpd_resp_send() API is called all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.

  • If output size is greater than input, then the value is truncated, accompanied by truncation error as return value.

  • Use httpd_req_get_hdr_value_len() to know the right buffer length

Return

  • ESP_OK : Field found in the request header and value string copied

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Key not found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid HTTP request pointer

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC : Value string truncated

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

  • [in] field: The field to be searched in the header

  • [out] val: Pointer to the buffer into which the value will be copied if the field is found

  • [in] val_size: Size of the user buffer “val”

size_t httpd_req_get_url_query_len(httpd_req_t *r)

Get Query string length from the request URL.

Note

This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid

Return

  • Length : Query is found in the request URL

  • Zero : Query not found / Null arguments / Invalid request

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

esp_err_t httpd_req_get_url_query_str(httpd_req_t *r, char *buf, size_t buf_len)

Get Query string from the request URL.

Note

  • Presently, the user can fetch the full URL query string, but decoding will have to be performed by the user. Request headers can be read using httpd_req_get_hdr_value_str() to know the ‘Content-Type’ (eg. Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and then the appropriate decoding algorithm needs to be applied.

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid

  • If output size is greater than input, then the value is truncated, accompanied by truncation error as return value

  • Prior to calling this function, one can use httpd_req_get_url_query_len() to know the query string length beforehand and hence allocate the buffer of right size (usually query string length + 1 for null termination) for storing the query string

Return

  • ESP_OK : Query is found in the request URL and copied to buffer

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Query not found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid HTTP request pointer

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC : Query string truncated

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

  • [out] buf: Pointer to the buffer into which the query string will be copied (if found)

  • [in] buf_len: Length of output buffer

esp_err_t httpd_query_key_value(const char *qry, const char *key, char *val, size_t val_size)

Helper function to get a URL query tag from a query string of the type param1=val1&param2=val2.

Note

  • The components of URL query string (keys and values) are not URLdecoded. The user must check for ‘Content-Type’ field in the request headers and then depending upon the specified encoding (URLencoded or otherwise) apply the appropriate decoding algorithm.

  • If actual value size is greater than val_size, then the value is truncated, accompanied by truncation error as return value.

Return

  • ESP_OK : Key is found in the URL query string and copied to buffer

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Key not found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC : Value string truncated

Return

  • ESP_OK : Key is found in the cookie string and copied to buffer

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Key not found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC : Value string truncated

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM : Memory allocation failure

Parameters

  • [in] req: Pointer to the HTTP request

  • [in] cookie_name: The cookie name to be searched in the request

  • [out] val: Pointer to the buffer into which the value of cookie will be copied if the cookie is found

  • [inout] val_size: Pointer to size of the user buffer “val”. This variable will contain cookie length if ESP_OK is returned and required buffer length incase ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC is returned.

bool httpd_uri_match_wildcard(const char *uri_template, const char *uri_to_match, size_t match_upto)

Test if a URI matches the given wildcard template.

Template may end with “?” to make the previous character optional (typically a slash), “*” for a wildcard match, and “?*” to make the previous character optional, and if present, allow anything to follow.

Example:

  • * matches everything

  • /foo/? matches /foo and /foo/

  • /foo/* (sans the backslash) matches /foo/ and /foo/bar, but not /foo or /fo

  • /foo/?* or /foo/*? (sans the backslash) matches /foo/, /foo/bar, and also /foo, but not /foox or /fo

The special characters “?” and “*” anywhere else in the template will be taken literally.

Return

true if a match was found

Parameters

  • [in] uri_template: URI template (pattern)

  • [in] uri_to_match: URI to be matched

  • [in] match_upto: how many characters of the URI buffer to test (there may be trailing query string etc.)

esp_err_t httpd_resp_send(httpd_req_t *r, const char *buf, ssize_t buf_len)

API to send a complete HTTP response.

This API will send the data as an HTTP response to the request. This assumes that you have the entire response ready in a single buffer. If you wish to send response in incremental chunks use httpd_resp_send_chunk() instead.

If no status code and content-type were set, by default this will send 200 OK status code and content type as text/html. You may call the following functions before this API to configure the response headers : httpd_resp_set_status() - for setting the HTTP status string, httpd_resp_set_type() - for setting the Content Type, httpd_resp_set_hdr() - for appending any additional field value entries in the response header

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • Once this API is called, the request has been responded to.

  • No additional data can then be sent for the request.

  • Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.

Return

  • ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null request pointer

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_HDR : Essential headers are too large for internal buffer

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

  • [in] buf: Buffer from where the content is to be fetched

  • [in] buf_len: Length of the buffer, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN to use strlen()

esp_err_t httpd_resp_send_chunk(httpd_req_t *r, const char *buf, ssize_t buf_len)

API to send one HTTP chunk.

This API will send the data as an HTTP response to the request. This API will use chunked-encoding and send the response in the form of chunks. If you have the entire response contained in a single buffer, please use httpd_resp_send() instead.

If no status code and content-type were set, by default this will send 200 OK status code and content type as text/html. You may call the following functions before this API to configure the response headers httpd_resp_set_status() - for setting the HTTP status string, httpd_resp_set_type() - for setting the Content Type, httpd_resp_set_hdr() - for appending any additional field value entries in the response header

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • When you are finished sending all your chunks, you must call this function with buf_len as 0.

  • Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_SEND : Error in raw send

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request pointer

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

static esp_err_t httpd_resp_send_408(httpd_req_t *r)

Helper function for HTTP 408.

Send HTTP 408 message. If you wish to send additional data in the body of the response, please use the lower-level functions directly.

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.

Return

  • ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_SEND : Error in raw send

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request pointer

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

static esp_err_t httpd_resp_send_500(httpd_req_t *r)

Helper function for HTTP 500.

Send HTTP 500 message. If you wish to send additional data in the body of the response, please use the lower-level functions directly.

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.

Return

  • ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_SEND : Error in raw send

  • ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request pointer

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

int httpd_send(httpd_req_t *r, const char *buf, size_t buf_len)

Raw HTTP send.

Call this API if you wish to construct your custom response packet. When using this, all essential header, eg. HTTP version, Status Code, Content Type and Length, Encoding, etc. will have to be constructed manually, and HTTP delimeters (CRLF) will need to be placed correctly for separating sub-sections of the HTTP response packet.

If the send override function is set, this API will end up calling that function eventually to send data out.

Note

  • This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.

  • Unless the response has the correct HTTP structure (which the user must now ensure) it is not guaranteed that it will be recognized by the client. For most cases, you wouldn’t have to call this API, but you would rather use either of : httpd_resp_send(), httpd_resp_send_chunk()

Return

  • Bytes : Number of bytes that were sent successfully

  • HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_INVALID : Invalid arguments

  • HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT : Timeout/interrupted while calling socket send()

Parameters

  • [in] r: The request being responded to

  • [in] buf: Buffer from where the fully constructed packet is to be read

  • [in] buf_len: Length of the buffer

void *httpd_sess_get_ctx(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd)

Get session context from socket descriptor.

Typically if a session context is created, it is available to URI handlers through the httpd_req_t structure. But, there are cases where the web server’s send/receive functions may require the context (for example, for accessing keying information etc). Since the send/receive function only have the socket descriptor at their disposal, this API provides them with a way to retrieve the session context.

Return

  • void* : Pointer to the context associated with this session

  • NULL : Empty context / Invalid handle / Invalid socket fd

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

  • [in] sockfd: The socket descriptor for which the context should be extracted.

void httpd_sess_set_ctx(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd, void *ctx, httpd_free_ctx_fn_t free_fn)

Set session context by socket descriptor.

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

  • [in] sockfd: The socket descriptor for which the context should be extracted.

  • [in] ctx: Context object to assign to the session

  • [in] free_fn: Function that should be called to free the context

void *httpd_sess_get_transport_ctx(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd)

This context is used by the send/receive functions, for example to manage SSL context.

See

httpd_sess_get_ctx()

Return

  • void* : Pointer to the transport context associated with this session

  • NULL : Empty context / Invalid handle / Invalid socket fd

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

  • [in] sockfd: The socket descriptor for which the context should be extracted.

void httpd_sess_set_transport_ctx(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd, void *ctx, httpd_free_ctx_fn_t free_fn)

Set session ‘transport’ context by socket descriptor.

See

httpd_sess_set_ctx()

Parameters

  • [in] sockfd: The socket descriptor for which the context should be extracted.

  • [in] ctx: Transport context object to assign to the session

  • [in] free_fn: Function that should be called to free the transport context

void *httpd_get_global_user_ctx(httpd_handle_t handle)

Get HTTPD global user context (it was set in the server config struct)

Return

global user context

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

void *httpd_get_global_transport_ctx(httpd_handle_t handle)

Get HTTPD global transport context (it was set in the server config struct)

Return

global transport context

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

esp_err_t httpd_sess_trigger_close(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd)

Trigger an httpd session close externally.

Note

Calling this API is only required in special circumstances wherein some application requires to close an httpd client session asynchronously.

Return

  • ESP_OK : On successfully initiating closure

  • ESP_FAIL : Failure to queue work

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Socket fd not found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

  • [in] sockfd: The socket descriptor of the session to be closed

esp_err_t httpd_sess_update_lru_counter(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd)

Update LRU counter for a given socket.

LRU Counters are internally associated with each session to monitor how recently a session exchanged traffic. When LRU purge is enabled, if a client is requesting for connection but maximum number of sockets/sessions is reached, then the session having the earliest LRU counter is closed automatically.

Updating the LRU counter manually prevents the socket from being purged due to the Least Recently Used (LRU) logic, even though it might not have received traffic for some time. This is useful when all open sockets/session are frequently exchanging traffic but the user specifically wants one of the sessions to be kept open, irrespective of when it last exchanged a packet.

Note

Calling this API is only necessary if the LRU Purge Enable option is enabled.

Return

  • ESP_OK : Socket found and LRU counter updated

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Socket not found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

  • [in] sockfd: The socket descriptor of the session for which LRU counter is to be updated

esp_err_t httpd_get_client_list(httpd_handle_t handle, size_t *fds, int *client_fds)

Returns list of current socket descriptors of active sessions.

Note

Size of provided array has to be equal or greater then maximum number of opened sockets, configured upon initialization with max_open_sockets field in httpd_config_t structure.

Return

  • ESP_OK : Successfully retrieved session list

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Wrong arguments or list is longer than provided array

Parameters

  • [in] handle: Handle to server returned by httpd_start

  • [inout] fds: In: Size of provided client_fds array Out: Number of valid client fds returned in client_fds,

  • [out] client_fds: Array of client fds

void *global_user_ctx

Global user context.

This field can be used to store arbitrary user data within the server context. The value can be retrieved using the server handle, available e.g. in the httpd_req_t struct.

When shutting down, the server frees up the user context by calling free() on the global_user_ctx field. If you wish to use a custom function for freeing the global user context, please specify that here.

httpd_free_ctx_fn_t global_user_ctx_free_fn

Free function for global user context

void *global_transport_ctx

Global transport context.

Similar to global_user_ctx, but used for session encoding or encryption (e.g. to hold the SSL context). It will be freed using free(), unless global_transport_ctx_free_fn is specified.

httpd_free_ctx_fn_t global_transport_ctx_free_fn

Free function for global transport context

httpd_open_func_t open_fn

Custom session opening callback.

Called on a new session socket just after accept(), but before reading any data.

This is an opportunity to set up e.g. SSL encryption using global_transport_ctx and the send/recv/pending session overrides.

If a context needs to be maintained between these functions, store it in the session using httpd_sess_set_transport_ctx() and retrieve it later with httpd_sess_get_transport_ctx()

Returning a value other than ESP_OK will immediately close the new socket.

httpd_close_func_t close_fn

Custom session closing callback.

Called when a session is deleted, before freeing user and transport contexts and before closing the socket. This is a place for custom de-init code common to all sockets.

Set the user or transport context to NULL if it was freed here, so the server does not try to free it again.

This function is run for all terminated sessions, including sessions where the socket was closed by the network stack - that is, the file descriptor may not be valid anymore.

httpd_uri_match_func_t uri_match_fn

URI matcher function.

Called when searching for a matching URI: 1) whose request handler is to be executed right after an HTTP request is successfully parsed 2) in order to prevent duplication while registering a new URI handler using httpd_register_uri_handler()

Available options are: 1) NULL : Internally do basic matching using strncmp() 2) httpd_uri_match_wildcard() : URI wildcard matcher

Users can implement their own matching functions (See description of the httpd_uri_match_func_t function prototype)

struct httpd_req

Public Members

httpd_handle_t handle

Handle to server instance

int method

The type of HTTP request, -1 if unsupported method

const char uri[HTTPD_MAX_URI_LEN + 1]

The URI of this request (1 byte extra for null termination)

size_t content_len

Length of the request body

void *aux

Internally used members

void *user_ctx

User context pointer passed during URI registration.

void *sess_ctx

Session Context Pointer

A session context. Contexts are maintained across ‘sessions’ for a given open TCP connection. One session could have multiple request responses. The web server will ensure that the context persists across all these request and responses.

By default, this is NULL. URI Handlers can set this to any meaningful value.

If the underlying socket gets closed, and this pointer is non-NULL, the web server will free up the context by calling free(), unless free_ctx function is set.

httpd_free_ctx_fn_t free_ctx

Pointer to free context hook

Function to free session context

If the web server’s socket closes, it frees up the session context by calling free() on the sess_ctx member. If you wish to use a custom function for freeing the session context, please specify that here.

bool ignore_sess_ctx_changes

Flag indicating if Session Context changes should be ignored

By default, if you change the sess_ctx in some URI handler, the http server will internally free the earlier context (if non NULL), after the URI handler returns. If you want to manage the allocation/reallocation/freeing of sess_ctx yourself, set this flag to true, so that the server will not perform any checks on it. The context will be cleared by the server (by calling free_ctx or free()) only if the socket gets closed.

struct httpd_uri

Structure for URI handler.

Public Members

const char *uri

The URI to handle

httpd_method_t method

Method supported by the URI

esp_err_t (*handler)(httpd_req_t *r)

typedef int (*httpd_pending_func_t)(httpd_handle_t hd, int sockfd)

Prototype for HTTPDs low-level “get pending bytes” function.

Note

User specified pending function must handle errors internally, depending upon the set value of errno, and return specific HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_ codes, which will be handled accordingly in the server task.

Return

typedef esp_err_t (*httpd_err_handler_func_t)(httpd_req_t *req, httpd_err_code_t error)

Function prototype for HTTP error handling.

This function is executed upon HTTP errors generated during internal processing of an HTTP request. This is used to override the default behavior on error, which is to send HTTP error response and close the underlying socket.

Note

  • If implemented, the server will not automatically send out HTTP error response codes, therefore, httpd_resp_send_err() must be invoked inside this function if user wishes to generate HTTP error responses.

  • When invoked, the validity of uri, method, content_len and user_ctx fields of the httpd_req_t parameter is not guaranteed as the HTTP request may be partially received/parsed.

  • The function must return ESP_OK if underlying socket needs to be kept open. Any other value will ensure that the socket is closed. The return value is ignored when error is of type HTTPD_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR and the socket closed anyway.

Return

  • ESP_OK : error handled successful

  • ESP_FAIL : failure indicates that the underlying socket needs to be closed

Parameters

  • [in] req: HTTP request for which the error needs to be handled

  • [in] error: Error type
