EthernetWebServer

New in v1.0.4

1. Add support to SAM51 (Itsy-Bitsy M4, Metro M4, Grand Central M4, Feather M4 Express, etc.).

From v1.0.3+, the library supports more Arduino boards ( SAM DUE, SAMD21: ZERO, MKR, NANO_33_IOT, M0, M0 Pro, AdaFruit CIRCUITPLAYGROUND_EXPRESS, etc.)

From v1.0.2+, the library supports many more Arduino boards (Atmel AVR-s, Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3, STM32F series, ESP8266, Intel ARC32(Genuino101), Nordic nRF51(RFduino), Teensy boards, Realtek Ameba(RTL8195A,RTL8710)) using Wiznet W5x00 or ENC28J60 EThernet shields by using UIPEthernet library besides standard Ethernet library.

This is simple yet complete WebServer library for AVR, Teensy,SAM, STM32F, Intel, etc. boards running Ethernet shields. The functions are similar and compatible to ESP8266/ESP32 WebServer libraries to make life much easier to port sketches from ESP8266/ESP32.

The library supports

1. HTTP Server and Client
2. HTTP GET and POST requests, provides argument parsing, handles one client at a time.

Library is based on and modified from:

1. Ivan Grokhotkov's ESP8266WebServer

The EthernetWebServer class found in EthernetWebServer.h header, is a simple web server that knows how to handle HTTP requests such as GET and POST and can only support one simultaneous client.

Prerequisite

1. Arduino IDE 1.8.11 or later for Arduino
2. Arduino AVR core 1.8.2 or later for Arduino (Use Arduino Board Manager)
3. Depending on which Ethernet card you're using:
   • Ethernet library for W5100, W5200 and W5500
   • UIPEthernet for ENC28J60
4. Functional-VLPP library to use lambda function

Installation

Use Arduino Library Manager

Another way is to use Arduino Library Manager or . Search for EthernetWebServer, then select / install the latest version.

Manual Install

1. Navigate to EthernetWebServer page.
2. Download the latest release EthernetWebServer-master.zip.
3. Extract the zip file to EthernetWebServer-master directory
4. Copy whole

• EthernetWebServer-master folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

Important note

1. If your application requires 2K+ HTML page, the current Ethernet library must be modified if you are using W5200/W5500 Ethernet shields. W5100 is not supported for 2K+ buffer.
2. To fix Ethernet library, just copy these following files into the Ethernet library directory to overwrite the old files:

• Ethernet.h
• EthernetServer.cpp
• w5100.cpp

Usage

Class Constructor

  EthernetWebServer server(80);

Creates the EthernetWebServer class object.

Parameters:

host port number: int port (default is the standard HTTP port 80)

Basic Operations

Starting the server

  void begin();

Handling incoming client requests

  void handleClient();

Disabling the server

  void close();
  void stop();

Both methods function the same

Client request handlers

  void on();
  void addHandler();
  void onNotFound();
  void onFileUpload();	

Example:*

  server.on("/", handlerFunction);
  server.onNotFound(handlerFunction);   // called when handler is not assigned
  server.onFileUpload(handlerFunction); // handle file uploads

Sending responses to the client

  void send();
  void send_P();

Parameters:

code - HTTP response code, can be 200 or 404, etc.

content_type - HTTP content type, like "text/plain" or "image/png", etc.

content - actual content body

Advanced Options

Getting information about request arguments

  const String & arg();
  const String & argName();
  int args();
  bool hasArg();

Function usage:

arg - get request argument value, use arg("plain") to get POST body

argName - get request argument name

args - get arguments count

hasArg - check if argument exist

Getting information about request headers

  const String & header();
  const String & headerName();
  const String & hostHeader();
  int headers();
  bool hasHeader();

Function usage:

header - get request header value

headerName - get request header name

hostHeader - get request host header if available, else empty string

headers - get header count

hasHeader - check if header exist

Authentication

  bool authenticate();
  void requestAuthentication();

Function usage:

authenticate - server authentication, returns true if client is authenticated else false

requestAuthentication - sends authentication failure response to the client

Example Usage:

  if(!server.authenticate(username, password)){
    server.requestAuthentication();
  }

Other Function Calls

  const String & uri(); // get the current uri
  HTTPMethod  method(); // get the current method 
  WiFiClient client(); // get the current client
  HTTPUpload & upload(); // get the current upload
  void setContentLength(); // set content length
  void sendHeader(); // send HTTP header
  void sendContent(); // send content
  void sendContent_P(); 
  void collectHeaders(); // set the request headers to collect
  void serveStatic();
  size_t streamFile();

Also see examples:

1. HelloServer
2. HelloServer2
3. AdvancedWebServer
4. HttpBasicAuth
5. PostServer
6. SimpleAuthentication

2. Support Wiznet W5x00 or ENC28J60 EThernet shields by using UIPEthernet library besides standard Ethernet, Ethernet2, Ethernet3 libraries.

Version v1.0.1

1. Add support to Server's lambda function calls

Version v1.0.0

This is simple yet complete WebServer library for AVR, Teensy, etc. boards running Ethernet shields. The functions are similar and compatible to ESP8266/ESP32 WebServer libraries to make life much easier to port sketches from ESP8266/ESP32.

The library supports

1. HTTP Server and Client
2. HTTP GET and POST requests, provides argument parsing, handles one client at a time.

TO DO

1. Bug Searching and Killing
2. Add SSL/TLS Client and Server support
3. Support more types of boards using Ethernet shields.

Contributions and thanks

1. Forked from Ivan Grokhotkov's ESP8266WebServer
2. jandrassy for UIPEthernet library
