nodemcu-httpserver

A (very) simple web server written in Lua for the ESP8266 firmware NodeMCU.

Features

  • GET

Simple GET method will return the requested file. NodeMCU’s filesystem does not support folders, but filenames can contain slashes. So prefix your server files with «http/» (yeah, weird).

Example: Say the IP for your ESP8266 is 2.2.2.2 and the server is running in the default port 80. Go to http://2.2.2.2/index.html using your web browser. The ESP8266 will serve you with the contents of the file «http_index.html» (if it exists).

Not supported

  • Other methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS, CONNECT, PATCH
  • Serving anything that’s not HTML (different mime types)
  • Server side scripting.
