In all examples where an https request is repeated every so often within loop(), is the https.end(); sufficient to release any memory used by the declared HTTPClient https; object?

Hi Sara,

I tried setting up a no certificate request per your example. It returns a code 200, but the payload variable is empty. But if I take the same request and send it via my browser I get back the response I’m seeking. So something about the no certificate request is not right. Any thoughts?

Just wanted to thank you for this tutorial. It was very helpful and I was able to implement it relatively easily. My HTTPS comms are up and running. Thank you!

Yes, I tried it and the Compiler stopped wirh ‚setInsecure‘ is not defined with V 2.4.2 of esp8266.. It is very very helpful when you note in the tutorial all the version of used libraries and of your environment. E.g. this Tutorial based or tested on Arduino 1.18.5, Esp lib 2.6.3….. sometime it is a nightmare to find the working versions.
That would be great, thank you in advance.

Hi.
Why you say it doesn’t support? Have you tried it out?
I’m not sure if there are versions that don’t support it.
Regards,
Sara

Thank you
One question – which release of esp8266 supports setInsecure? I guess version 2.4.2 does not support – right? Please let me know which version do you recommend?
Best regards

Fantastic tutorial… Thanks
One question… what if the HTTPS server requires credentials (username and password), how do you pass these into your GET Request ?
Thanks in advance for your answer
