B4R Question ESP32 and HTTPS

[Jpiti]

Hello,

it is possible to operate a web server with an esp32 that supports HTTPS.
Does somebody has any idea?

It will be difficult to say the least.

It will be simple with a Raspberry Pi using B4J.

Hello Erel,
you may be right. Unfortunately I have no other hardware alternative than the ESP32.
I have seen several examples on the internet that are all based on c. Unfortunately, my c isn't very good to say the least.
I was hoping for a simpler solution with Basic.
My web server itself is ready, but it runs on HTTP. I need the same as I said with HTTPS.

Hello,

just for Information.

We actually managed to create an ssl certificate with the ESP32 via c.
But it took about 1 minute and 30 seconds to create with the ESP32.
Since in our application the ESP with the web server is only switched on when required, HTTPS is impractical for us with the long waiting time for the ssl certificate.

Jens

The ESP32 isn't really ment to be a webserver. You can control it secure via an B4x app using AES256 (see my examples).
