WEB Server

@pierrot10 Okay yes, I see.
But at the moment, this is not possible with MicroDNSSrv. I must to add special domaine name like "apple" etc... to automatically open a popup window on smartphones and computers who connects to Wi-Fi AP.
But now, you must to start MicroDNSSrv to resolve names ...
You can open a browser and type a domain name (or catch * wildcards domains).

jczic

@pierrot10 Sorry pierrot but that works (I have just tested) :)
You must to configure MicroDNSServer to respond to all domains with your IP :

from microDNSSrv import MicroDNSSrv
srv = MicroDNSSrv.Create( {
	"*"   : "192.168.4.1" } )

and you must to configure MicroWebSrv with a redirection on a "not found" page :

srv.SetNotFoundPageUrl('my-captive-portal.mydevice.com')

If you want to change the default IP and configuration, try this complet code in main.py :


from microWebSrv import MicroWebSrv

Just connect your computer or smartphone to wifi MYDEVICE WIFI with pass azerty123 and a captive popup will be opened on your main page :)

@jczic That great!!!! Thank, I will try it later!!!!! Thank

pierrot10

@jczic Hello!! Thank a lot for this example. That help but I can not make it working at 100%

When I connect to my WIFI (with my smartphone) it does not open a browser with the page. But it's not critical. If I can do it , it's great, if not, the user can be connect to the SSID and then open a broser but it would be necessary that all request into the browser (any URL) foward to the 192.168.4.1 web page.

However, when I enter the url www.nothin.fr (or something else), the content of 192.168.4.1 is display.

I observed when I enter www.google.ch, it does display the content of 192.168.4.1. It display an error page not found.
I observed that all https reuqest display a not page found, and it look like id only the http request display the 192.168.4.1 content.

Can it be possible?

I also could configure an new iP for my AP.

wlan.ifconfig( id     = 1,
               config = ('10.0.0.254', '255.255.255.0', '10.0.0.254', '10.0.0.254' ) )

that work when I enter 10.0.0.254 in my browser.

However, the srv.SetNotFoundPageUrl

srv.SetNotFoundPageUrl('my-captive-portal.mydevice.com')

never display a page. But I do not understand the URL you gave.
Does mydevise.com is the name of my poly4 devise?
If yes how can I set the name of my devise

Or should I change it with (or with an URL of my web site to see a result)?

srv.SetNotFoundPageUrl('map.google.com')

Should it be an external web site or a page of my LoPy devise like /test.

Last question :o).
Is
_httpHandlerTestPost and _httpHandlerTestGet necessary in that exercice?

or should I use to create some additional page like

routeHandlers = [
	( "/sensors",	"GET",	_httpHandlerTestGet ),
	( "/configure",	"POST",	_httpHandlerTestPost )
]

Last last question.
I saw in your github, the boot.py as this code

from    os      import dupterm
from    machine import UART

uart = UART(0, 115200)
dupterm(uart)

I have o copied it and my boo.py is empty.
Is an error from me?
What does the boot.py code exactely?

Thank fro your support and your great help, it help and help me to learn as well!!!!!

@pierrot10 Okay, you must to configure the IP interface else LoPy wifi set the DNS server tout 0.0.0.0.
Set the configuration IP with the same IP addr for the DNS.

After, you must to use MicroDNSSrv tout catch all names to the same IP { "*" : "10.0.0.254" }.

All web requests will be directed tout this IP.
Thé MicroWebSrv have not page for "www.a-test.com" for exemple.
You must set your default page URL if a page IS not round.

boot.py is just the first "launched" file and it can configure the terminal to the serial UART input/output.

@jczic Hello, Thank for your reply. I was concentrated on creating a nice web page with jquery mobile, but .... (laugh), lopy did not have enough space to store the library :o) :o).
I created a very smaller nice welcome web page.

However, if I wrote this is to say, after I modified the default index.html, the popup windows appear after the WiFi connection. So that finally work,

What you lastly wrote, we are agree is to have any url request redirect to the index.html?

I tried

fconfig( id     = 1,
               config = ('0.0.0.0', '255.255.255.0', '10.0.0.254', '0.0.0.0' ) ) # (ip, subnet_mask, gateway, DNS_server)

It's look not working. It ask me to enter again the WiFi password but it does not accept it. Any way, it's not so important. Ir would nice that if I enter only 'localhost' the my smartphone browser, or any caracter, it forward to index.html. but it take too much of your time I can leave

wlan.ifconfig( id     = 1,
               config = ('10.0.0.254', '255.255.255.0', '10.0.0.254', '10.0.0.254' ) ) # (ip, subnet_mask, gateway, DNS_server)

:o)

I also changed to

srv.SetNotFoundPageUrl('index.html')

in that way, all "notFoundPage is redirected to the index.

i somehow just son't get this to work on a fipy.

i tried using the code given here with the microwebserver but i don't get a browser to display anything.

i think the fipy should put data on the uart and i don't get anything there either.

any ideas?

this is the code i have in main.py

@eric-waai Apparently the pycom boards do not have enough memory to run it. I contacted @jczic and that was his reply.

@pierrot10 , if you are still around, what board did you use?

I am looking for a solution where the pycom board (Lopy4 in my case) would be set as an AP, display a form via a webapp to let the user update some parameters.

I have seen solutions that work on other ESP32 boards.

Any help would be good. Setting the device as AP is a nice thing to have, but some examples on how to use this functionality would be handy.

troy salt

@tealbrains Any progress here? I also want to implement the same idea of a form via a webapp for parameter updates.

westernira

What's that? I am here to find the answer about the web server.I found some data related to login into web servers tools 192.168.0.50, but i still need to read a lot of information from it.You can refer that for help.

robert-hh

@westernira There are a few tiny web servers around, like this one: https://github.com/pfalcon/picoweb, which is made for a micropython environment. It should not be so difficult to use it on a Pycom device.

jczic

Hello,
I released a fully new version (v2.0) of my web server here : https://github.com/jczic/MicroWebSrv2.
Open source MIT, fully asynchronous, more robust, more fast and more efficient on Pycom modules.
It is delivered with a good documentation.

Thank you for your support and feedback. ☺️
