AsyncWebServer_STM32 for STM32 using LAN8720 or builtin LAN8742A Ethernet

How To Install Using Arduino Library Manager


Why do we need this Async AsyncWebServer_STM32 Library

- Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
- You are called once the request is ready and parsed
- When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
- Speed is OMG
- Easy to use API, HTTP Basic and Digest MD5 Authentication (default), ChunkedResponse
- Easily extendible to handle **any type of content**
- Supports Continue 100%
- Async WebSocket plugin offering different locations without extra servers or ports
- Async EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin to send events to the browser
- URL Rewrite plugin for conditional and permanent url rewrites
- ServeStatic plugin that supports cache, Last-Modified, default index and more
- Simple template processing engine to handle templates

Initial Releases v1.2.3

1. Initial coding to port the powerful ESPAsyncWebServer Library to STM32 boards using builtin LAN8742A Ethernet. More supports will be added gradually later, such as AsyncUDP, other Ethernet / WiFi shields.
2. Add more examples.
3. Add debugging features.
4. Bump up to v1.2.3 to sync with ESPAsyncWebServer v1.2.3.

Currently Supported Boards

1. Nucleo-144 (F429ZI, F746ZG, F756ZG, F767ZI)
2. Discovery STM32F746G-DISCOVERY
3. Any STM32 boards with enough flash/memory and already configured to run LAN8742A Ethernet.

This is the Async_HelloServer example

Code: Select all

/*
   Currently support
   1) STM32 boards with built-in Ethernet (to use USE_BUILTIN_ETHERNET = true) such as :
      - Nucleo-144 (F429ZI, F767ZI)
      - Discovery (STM32F746G-DISCOVERY)
      - STM32 boards (STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1) with 32K+ Flash, with Built-in Ethernet,
      - See How To Use Built-in Ethernet at (https://github.com/khoih-prog/EthernetWebServer_STM32/issues/1)
