Webserver Broken

[shaddow501]

Hello

It seems that in the last release something broke the Webserver.
I am trying to load index.htm from SPIFFS and I see in the terminal that the the request for the file was given but in the web page the page stay without any response, I mean I see that there is a request but eventually no page is loaded.

response from the serial terminal - handleFileRead: /index.htm
The file exist in the spiffs.
This is list of the file in the spiffs:

isting directory: /
FILE: /auto-scale-axis.js SIZE: 2479
FILE: /chartist.css.map SIZE: 15734
FILE: /bower.json SIZE: 826

FILE: /index.htm SIZE: 20170
FILE: /interpolation.js SIZE: 15612
FILE: /axis.js SIZE: 4571
FILE: /base.js SIZE: 8187

The older lib had different issue that caused the module to reset, but in there the webpage did open without changing anything in my code.
so I have moved to the new lib.

The older lib date of the files that I have download were from 05/11/2017. (Webserver worked there, pages did load)

What broke it? where should I look?

Looks like related with: #1022

Could be, When can it be fixed or what should I do to fix it?

You can find some more issues here dealing with this problem. It has to do that the arduino component was compiled with SPIFFS_META_LENGTH=4. This implementation is incompatible with previous implementation with SPIFFS_META_LENGTH=0 (or no META info). If you are using Arduino as ESP-IDF component you are in luck. In menuconfig you can set SPIFFS_META_LENGTH to zero. However if you are using this in the Arduino IDE I don't know what you can do.

You have to replace file from tools/sdk/lib/libspiffs.a to the same file from 70d0d46 commit. Thanks for this problem solving to @vindolin

Hello smacyas

I cannot find the file in the link you have provided...

[smacyas]

You have to click "Browse files" on the right top of page. Direct link: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/70d0d4648766cea047613062ed50a9ecfc9de31f/tools/sdk/lib

Ok, Thanks smacyas.
As I understand is to take this file from an older release... before it got broken...
I think that the next stage is to understand why something that worked changed to something that doesnt work, why this change has been performed..

[usmanshahid001]

does i need to use different plugin as well because it is not working by just replacing the spiffs.a

Please update to last code, it's now supporting webserver and spiffs was fixed =)
