HTTP_Server: Error accepting connections when polling webserver functions from JavaScript

[bewatermyfriendxd]

Hello,

Im using a webserver on my ESP32 which provides functions I can access from the web page via HTTP methods.
On one page I poll values from the ESP32 using JavaScript code like this:

Code: Select all

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", '/server/readADC', true);

xhr.onreadystatechange = function() 
{
    if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
        // Visualize data on the website
    }
}

The problem is, the server stops responding after a few requests.
After some time I get this error on the ESP32 side.

W (582011) httpd: httpd_accept_conn: error in accept (23)
W (582011) httpd: httpd_server: error accepting new connection
W (582021) httpd: httpd_accept_conn: error in accept (23)
W (582021) httpd: httpd_server: error accepting new connection
W (583011) httpd: httpd_accept_conn: error in accept (23)

Ive configured the http server with HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG() value.
How am I able to continuously fetch data from the http server?

I'll appreciate any help. Thanks for the support.

I could fix this issue by modifying the http_config struct I used to initialize the http server.
When using the macro HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG() the field lru_pruge_enable is set to false.
I had to set this true.

This field is described as

Purge "Least Recently Used" connection

.
When doing something like polling from JavaScript a lot of requests are sent to the http_server, for each a new session is opened by the internal socket. At some point the socket cant keep up anymore. By setting this field the socket throws away the last session and replaces it with the new request. So all requests can be properly handled.

Thank you! Solved this problem for me.

Hi everybody.

Have u tried max_open_sockets=1; //just one connection

Does it have the same effect, by forcing just one connection?

BTW, I am guessing that the standard 4 connections WILL eat up genereal max connections to the ESP32 that could be needed.

A question.

Are you connected to the ESP32 via the STA or the AP interface? If its the AP (let say the STA disabled) one cannot send a jquery since it can not download the jquery lib to the browser unless in a desktop (LAN inteface).

Thanks
