Porting CameraWebServer example to https

[jov58]

Hi,

I am trying to run the CameraWebServer example with https. I started by including esp_https_server.h instead of esp_http_server.h and changing the startCameraServer() function as follows:

void startCameraServer(){
#ifndef _ESP_HTTPS_SERVER_H_
  httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();
#else
  httpd_ssl_config config = HTTPD_SSL_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
  config.cacert_len = cert->getCertLength();
  config.cacert_pem = cert->getCertData();
  config.prvtkey_len = cert->getPKLength();
  config.prvtkey_pem = cert->getPKData();
#endif
  httpd_uri_t index_uri = { .uri = "/", .method = HTTP_GET, .handler = index_handler, .user_ctx = NULL };
  httpd_uri_t status_uri = { .uri = "/status", .method = HTTP_GET, .handler = status_handler, .user_ctx = NULL };
  httpd_uri_t cmd_uri = { .uri = "/control", .method = HTTP_GET, .handler = cmd_handler, .user_ctx = NULL };
  httpd_uri_t capture_uri = { .uri = "/capture", .method = HTTP_GET, .handler = capture_handler, .user_ctx = NULL };
  httpd_uri_t stream_uri = { .uri = "/stream", .method = HTTP_GET, .handler = stream_handler, .user_ctx = NULL };

  ra_filter_init(&ra_filter, 20);
    
  mtmn_config.type = FAST;
  mtmn_config.min_face = 80;
  mtmn_config.pyramid = 0.707;
  mtmn_config.pyramid_times = 4;
  mtmn_config.p_threshold.score = 0.6;
  mtmn_config.p_threshold.nms = 0.7;
  mtmn_config.p_threshold.candidate_number = 20;
  mtmn_config.r_threshold.score = 0.7;
  mtmn_config.r_threshold.nms = 0.7;
  mtmn_config.r_threshold.candidate_number = 10;
  mtmn_config.o_threshold.score = 0.7;
  mtmn_config.o_threshold.nms = 0.7;
  mtmn_config.o_threshold.candidate_number = 1;
   
  face_id_init(&id_list, FACE_ID_SAVE_NUMBER, ENROLL_CONFIRM_TIMES);
    
#ifndef _ESP_HTTPS_SERVER_H_
  Serial.printf("Starting web server on port: '%d'\n", config.server_port);
  if (httpd_start(&camera_httpd, &config) == ESP_OK) {
#else
  Serial.printf("Starting web server on port: '%d'\n", config.port_secure);
  if (httpd_ssl_start(&camera_httpd, &config) == ESP_OK) {
#endif
    httpd_register_uri_handler(camera_httpd, &index_uri);
    httpd_register_uri_handler(camera_httpd, &cmd_uri);
    httpd_register_uri_handler(camera_httpd, &status_uri);
    httpd_register_uri_handler(camera_httpd, &capture_uri);
  }

#ifndef _ESP_HTTPS_SERVER_H_
  config.server_port += 1;
  config.ctrl_port += 1;
  Serial.printf("Starting stream server on port: '%d'\n", config.server_port);
  if (httpd_start(&stream_httpd, &config) == ESP_OK) {
#else
  config.port_secure += 1;
  config.httpd.ctrl_port += 1;
  Serial.printf("Starting stream server on port: '%d'\n", config.port_secure);
  if (httpd_ssl_start(&stream_httpd, &config) == ESP_OK) {
#endif
    httpd_register_uri_handler(stream_httpd, &stream_uri);
  }
}

If I include esp_http_server.h the original code will compile and everything runs fine. If I include esp_https_server.h the changes will compile and the webserver nicely comes up at port 443. The menu shows and I can get a still from the camera. The only thing that doesn't work is what it's all about: the live stream. The video window shows but only with a broken image icon. I see no messages in the terminal window in PlatformIO or anything in the browser.

Is it possible to get this working, any ideas?

Thank your for submiting, please be sure you followed template or your issue may be dismissed. if you deleted the template it is here

ESP3D does not support https , also it does not use the http server used in esp32cam example because it use too much resources

I still don't understand why you closed my question and moved it to a ESP3D discussion. The Arduino CameraWebServer example has nothing to do with ESP3D and my question is in no way related to 3D printing.

So please explain exactly to me why you closed my question and moved it here.

Do you expect any help with an attitude like that?

?????? I just asked why my question was closed and moved here?

[jov58]

you open your question in esp3d github bug tracker and as you wrote

Sorry, but I still don't understand. I went to this page, search under "issues" for a possible solution, didn't find one and than clicked on "New issue" to ask this question. That looked like the right place to ask a question about the example, but apparantly it isn't?

I just looked there again, but I don't see anything about ESP3D there. So how could I have seen that I was asking a question in the ESP3D bug tracker? I honestly don't understand. Am I missing something about Github here?

So it is me who do not understand why you open your question that has nothing to do with ESP3D to ESP3D github

Yeah, I can see how that causes this confusion. You see the question in the ESP32 3D bug tracker and I have no idea how it got there ... Still, if I did put it in the ESP3D bug tracker, where should I have put my question about the CameraWebServer example? I just don't see it.

went to this page, search under "issues" for a possible solution,

you went to https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/ but it is not here
I do not know how / why you did it, but you did it, the path is definitely ESP3D github, and you also did it in another repository which is also not related to camserver.

Am I missing something about Github here?

Your problem is a coding question, and it is not supposed to be posted on any github bug tracker because it is not a bug, you should address your coding issue on any esp32 forums or stackoverflow or any support forum, but for sure not here, and I suggest you to pay attention on what your are doing when you post

[jov58]

OK, thx, although I still don't understand how it ended up here. Anyway, you're right, it's a coding question and it shouldn't be here - I'll try it on StackOverflow. Sorry for the confusion.
