Captive portal not working

Postby ArnyminerZ » Wed Feb 23, 2022 4:34 pm

Hi, I've been trying to set up a captive portal in a ESP32 using the ESP-IDF framework.

I've used the example provided at https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... ive_portal. My CMakeLists.txt is:
Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]
  1. idf_component_register(
  2.     SRCS "main.c" "dns_server.c"
  3.     INCLUDE_DIRS "../include" "../build/headers"
  4.     EMBED_FILES "../build/www/index.html" "../build/www/login.html" "../build/www/logout.html" "../build/www/reboot.html" "../build/www/scripts.js" "../build/www/styles.css"
  5. )

The build/headers and EMBED_FILES files are for providing the web server data.

Based on the contents of this page https://lemariva.com/blog/2017/11/white ... icropython I've developed:

And then in another file, I call this for initializing the HTTP server:

Code: Select all

static httpd_handle_t server_start(void)
{
#if CONFIG_LOG_ENABLE_SERVER != true
    // Disable logging for HTTP server
    esp_log_level_set("httpd_uri", ESP_LOG_ERROR);
    esp_log_level_set("httpd_txrx", ESP_LOG_ERROR);
    esp_log_level_set("httpd_parse", ESP_LOG_ERROR);
#endif

    httpd_handle_t server = NULL;
    httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();
    config.max_open_sockets = 7;
    config.max_uri_handlers = 16;
    config.lru_purge_enable = true;

    // Start the httpd server
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Starting server on port: '%d'", config.server_port);
    if (httpd_start(&server, &config) == ESP_OK)
    {
        // Set URI handlers
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Registering URI handlers...");
        register_uri_handlers(server);

        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Registering URI spoofers...");
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &ms_ncsi);
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &ms_conn_test);
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &ms_redirect);
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &goo_generate_204);
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &goo_gen_204);
        httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &apple_hotspot);

        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Registering error handlers...");
        httpd_register_err_handler(server, HTTPD_404_NOT_FOUND, http_404_error_handler);
        return server;
    }

    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Error starting server!");
    return NULL;
}
I've configured through menuconfig CONFIG_HTTPD_MAX_REQ_HDR_LEN to be 2048 and CONFIG_HTTPD_MAX_URI_LEN to 1024 since it was crashing for Chrome requests.

The ESP is configured to be running as AP, so my idea is to allow devices to connect to it, and then show a configuration page that allow the user to choose between the available networks. I know it's been made before, but haven't found anything I liked outside the Arduino framework.

My issue is that when I try to connect from my Android device, the captive portal opens, but after a second it closes, opens again, and closes definitely disconnecting from the network. Here are some logs:

Re: Captive portal not working

I don't have the same issue, when using the example in <ESP_IDF v. 4.4.1>/examples/protocols/http_server/captive_portal but I have seen when not finishing sending data, but just

Code: Select all

httpd_resp_sendstr_chunk(...)
and no final

Code: Select all

httpd_resp_sendstr(...)
then I get the same behaviour on the "Sign in to <AP-name>" page. Loading the same page in a browser have a small progress bar in top, telling that the page have not been fully loaded.
