I have created an HTTP server on ESP32 that serves a webpage (html, css, js, svg files) as well as handles requests coming from the webpage.
HTTP server is started when a device connects to ESP's access point and it is destroyed when the access point is disconnected.
Sometimes during operation on the webpage httpd socket error occurs as shown below

W (102778) httpd_txrx: httpd_sock_err: error in send : 11
W (113778) httpd_txrx: httpd_sock_err: error in send : 11
W (124778) httpd_txrx: httpd_sock_err: error in send : 11
W (135778) httpd_txrx: httpd_sock_err: error in send : 11
W (146778) httpd_txrx: httpd_sock_err: error in send : 11

ESP stops the HTTP server and needs a restart to make it function again.

Following is my HTTP server cofiguration :

Code: Select all

ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Configuring HTTP Server");
        httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();

        if (http_server_monitor_queue_handle == NULL)
        {
            // Create the message queue
            http_server_monitor_queue_handle = xQueueCreate(5, sizeof(http_server_queue_message_t));
        }

        // Create HTTP server monitor task
        if (task_http_server_monitor == NULL)
        {
            xTaskCreate(&http_server_monitor, "http_server_monitor", HTTP_SERVER_MONITOR_STACK_SIZE, NULL, HTTP_SERVER_MONITOR_PRIORITY, &task_http_server_monitor);
        }

        // The core that the HTTP server will run on
        config.core_id = 0; //0

        // Adjust the default priority to 1 less than the wifi application task
        config.task_priority = 4;

        // Bump up the stack size (default is 4096)
        config.stack_size = 20480;

        // Increase uri handlers
        config.max_uri_handlers = 30;
        
        // Increase the timeout limits //seconds
        config.recv_wait_timeout = 10;
        config.send_wait_timeout = 10;
        config.lru_purge_enable = true;

        esp_err_t err1 = httpd_start(&server, &config);

HTTP server has total 26 request handlers.
Only 2 more tasks are running alongside HTTP server.

What is the root cause of this error and how to solve it?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

it is destroyed when the access point is disconnected.

Code: Select all

I (15998) WIFI_APP: SYSTEM_EVENT_AP_STADISCONNECTED
W (36778) httpd_txrx: httpd_sock_err: error in send : 11

Does that mean the error only happens after the server is "destroyed"?

Hi.

No. Most of the time the error occurs when the server is started (not destroyed).

Please go thru the serial logs from the past
