API Conventions
This document describes conventions and assumptions common to ESP-IDF Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
ESP-IDF provides several kinds of programming interfaces:
C functions, structures, enums, type definitions, and preprocessor macros declared in public header files of ESP-IDF components. Various pages in the API Reference section of the programming guide contain descriptions of these functions, structures, and types.
Build system functions, predefined variables, and options. These are documented in the ESP-IDF CMake Build System API.
Kconfig options can be used in code and in the build system (
CMakeLists.txt) files.
Host tools and their command line parameters are also part of the ESP-IDF interfaces.
ESP-IDF is made up of multiple components where these components either contain code specifically written for ESP chips, or contain a third-party library (i.e., a third-party component). In some cases, third-party components contain an "ESP-IDF specific" wrapper in order to provide an interface that is either simpler or better integrated with the rest of ESP-IDF's features. In other cases, third-party components present the original API of the underlying library directly.
The following sections explain some of the aspects of ESP-IDF APIs and their usage.
Error Handling
Most ESP-IDF APIs return error codes defined with the
esp_err_t type. See Error Handling section for more information about error handling approaches. Error Codes Reference contains the list of error codes returned by ESP-IDF components.
Configuration Structures
Important
Correct initialization of configuration structures is an important part of making the application compatible with future versions of ESP-IDF.
Most initialization, configuration, and installation functions in ESP-IDF (typically named
..._init(),
..._config(), and
..._install()) take a configuration structure pointer as an argument. |
The following is incorrect:
esp_timer_create_args_t my_timer_args;
my_timer_args.callback = &my_timer_callback;
/* Incorrect! Fields .arg and .name are not initialized */
esp_timer_create(&my_timer_args, &my_timer);
Most ESP-IDF examples use C99 designated initializers for structure initialization since they provide a concise way of setting a subset of fields, and zero-initializing the remaining fields:
const esp_timer_create_args_t my_timer_args = {
.callback = &my_timer_callback,
/* Correct, fields .arg and .name are zero-initialized */
};
The C++ language supports designated initializer syntax, too, but the initializers must be in the order of declaration. When using ESP-IDF APIs in C++ code, you may consider using the following pattern:
/* Correct, fields .dispatch_method, .name and .skip_unhandled_events are zero-initialized */
const esp_timer_create_args_t my_timer_args |
Note that C++ language versions older than C++20, which are not the default in the current version of ESP-IDF, do not support designated initializers. If you have to compile code with an older C++ standard than C++20, you may use GCC extensions to produce the following pattern:
esp_timer_create_args_t my_timer_args = {};
/* All the fields are zero-initialized */
my_timer_args.callback = &my_timer_callback;
Default Initializers
For some configuration structures, ESP-IDF provides macros for setting default values of fields:
httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG();
/ |
HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG expands to a designated initializer. Now all fields are set to the default values, and any field can still be modified: */
config.server_port = 8081;
httpd_handle_t server;
esp_err_t err = httpd_start(&server, &config);
It is recommended to use default initializer macros whenever they are provided for a particular configuration structure.
Private APIs
Certain header files in ESP-IDF contain APIs intended to be used only in ESP-IDF source code rather than by the applications. Such header files often contain
private or
esp_private in their name or path. Certain components, such as hal only contain private APIs.
Private APIs may be removed or changed in an incompatible way between minor or patch releases.
Components in Example Projects
ESP-IDF examples contain a variety of projects demonstrating the usage of ESP-IDF APIs. In order to reduce code duplication in the examples, a few common helpers are defined inside components that are used by multiple examples. This includes components located in common_components directory, as well as some of the components located in the examples themselves. These components are not considered to be part of the ESP-IDF API.
It is not recommended to reference these components directly in custom projects (via
EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS build system variable), as they may change significantly between ESP-IDF versions. When starting a new project based on an ESP-IDF example, copy both the project and the common components it depends on out of ESP-IDF, and treat the common components as part of the project. Note that the common components are written with examples in mind, and might not include all the error handling required for production applications. Before using, take time to read the code and understand if it is applicable to your use case.

= (const char *)mqtt_eclipse_org_pem_start,
},
};
For details about other fields, please check the API Reference and TLS Server Verification.
Client Credentials
All client related credentials are under the
credentials field.
Authentication
It is possible to set authentication parameters through the
authentication field. The client supports the following authentication methods:
-
password: use a password by setting
-
certificateand
key: mutual authentication with TLS, and both can be provided in PEM or DER format
-
use_secure_element: use secure element available in ESP32-WROOM-32SE
-
ds_data: use Digital Signature Peripheral available in some Espressif devices
Session
For MQTT session related configurations,
session fields should be used.
Last Will and Testament
MQTT allows for a last will and testament (LWT) message to notify other clients when a client ungracefully disconnects. This is configured by the following fields in the
last_will struct.
Events
The following events may be posted by the MQTT client:
MQTT_EVENT_BEFORE_CONNECT: The client is initialized and about to start connecting to the broker.

int cert_selection_callback(mbedtls_ssl_context *ssl)
{
/* Code that the callback should execute */
return 0;
}
esp_tls_cfg_t cfg = {
cert_select_cb = cert_section_callback,
};
Underlying SSL/TLS Library Options
The ESP-TLS component offers the option to use MbedTLS or WolfSSL as its underlying SSL/TLS library. By default, only MbedTLS is available and used, WolfSSL SSL/TLS library is also available publicly at https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl. The repository provides the WolfSSL component in binary format, and it also provides a few examples that are useful for understanding the API. Please refer to the repository
README.md for information on licensing and other options. Please see the below section for instructions on how to use WolfSSL in your project.
Note
As the library options are internal to ESP-TLS, switching the libraries will not change ESP-TLS specific code for a project.
How to Use WolfSSL with ESP-IDF
There are two ways to use WolfSSL in your project:
Directly add WolfSSL as a component in your project with the following three commands:
(First, change the directory (cd) to your project directory) mkdir components cd components git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl.git
Add WolfSSL as an extra component in your project.
Download WolfSSL with:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-wolfssl.git
Include ESP-WolfSSL in ESP-IDF with setting
EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRSin
CMakeLists.txtof your project as done in wolfssl/examples. For reference see Optional Project Variables in build-system..
After the above steps, you will have the option to choose WolfSSL as the underlying SSL/TLS library in the configuration menu of your project as follows:
idf.py menuconfig > ESP-TLS > SSL/TLS Library > Mbedtls/Wolfssl
Comparison Between MbedTLS and WolfSSL
The following table shows a typical comparison between WolfSSL and MbedTLS when the protocols/https_request example (which includes server authentication) is running with both SSL/TLS libraries and with all respective configurations set to default. For MbedTLS, the IN_CONTENT length and OUT_CONTENT length are set to 16384 bytes and 4096 bytes respectively.

ATECC608A (Secure Element) with ESP-TLS
ESP-TLS provides support for using ATECC608A cryptoauth chip with ESP32-WROOM-32SE. The use of ATECC608A is supported only when ESP-TLS is used with MbedTLS as its underlying SSL/TLS stack. ESP-TLS uses MbedTLS as its underlying TLS/SSL stack by default unless changed manually.
Note
ATECC608A chip on ESP32-WROOM-32SE must be already configured, for details refer esp_cryptoauth_utility.
To enable the secure element support, and use it in your project for TLS connection, you have to follow the below steps:
Add esp-cryptoauthlib in your project, for details please refer how to use esp-cryptoauthlib with ESP-IDF.
Enable the following menuconfig option:
menuconfig > Component config > ESP-TLS > Use Secure Element (ATECC608A) with ESP-TLS
Select type of ATECC608A chip with following option:
menuconfig > Component config > esp-cryptoauthlib > |
Choose Type of ATECC608A chip
To know more about different types of ATECC608A chips and how to obtain the type of ATECC608A connected to your ESP module, please visit ATECC608A chip type.
Enable the use of ATECC608A in ESP-TLS by providing the following config option in
esp_tls_cfg_t.
esp_tls_cfg_t cfg = {
/* other configurations options */
.use_secure_element = true,
};
TLS Ciphersuites
ESP-TLS provides the ability to set a ciphersuites list in client mode. The TLS ciphersuites list informs the server about the supported ciphersuites for the specific TLS connection regardless of the TLS stack configuration. If the server supports any ciphersuite from this list, then the TLS connection will succeed; otherwise, it will fail.
You can set
ciphersuites_list in the
esp_tls_cfg_t structure during client connection as follows:
/* ciphersuites_list must end with 0 and must be available in the memory scope active during the entire TLS connection */
static const int ciphersuites_list [] = {MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, 0};
esp_tls_cfg_t cfg = {
.ciphersuites_list = |
ciphersuites_list,
};
ESP-TLS will not check the validity of
ciphersuites_list that was set, you should call
esp_tls_get_ciphersuites_list() to get ciphersuites list supported in the TLS stack and cross-check it against the supplied list.
Note
This feature is supported only in the MbedTLS stack.

esp-tls client session ticket ctx
Keep alive parameters structure
-
struct esp_tls_cfg
ESP-TLS configuration parameters.
Note
Note about format of certificates:
This structure includes certificates of a Certificate Authority, of client or server as well as private keys, which may be of PEM or DER format. In case of PEM format, the buffer must be NULL terminated (with NULL character included in certificate size).
Certificate Authority's certificate may be a chain of certificates in case of PEM format, but could be only one certificate in case of DER format
Variables names of certificates and private key buffers and sizes are defined as unions providing backward compatibility for legacy *_pem_buf and *_pem_bytes names which suggested only PEM format was supported. It is encouraged to use generic names such as cacert_buf and cacert_bytes.

ESP HTTP Client
Overview
esp_http_client component provides a set of APIs for making HTTP/S requests from ESP-IDF applications. The steps to use these APIs are as follows:
-
esp_http_client_init(): Creates an
esp_http_client_handle_tinstance, i.e., an HTTP client handle based on the given
esp_http_client_config_tconfiguration. This function must be the first to be called; default values are assumed for the configuration values that are not explicitly defined by the user.
-
esp_http_client_perform(): Performs all operations of the
esp_http_client- opening the connection, exchanging data, and closing the connection (as required), while blocking the current task before its completion. All related events are invoked through the event handler (as specified in
esp_http_client_config_t).
-
esp_http_client_cleanup(): Closes the connection (if any) and frees up all the memory allocated to the HTTP client instance. This must be the last function to be called after the completion of operations.
Application Example
Simple example that uses ESP HTTP Client to make HTTP/S requests can be found at protocols/esp_http_client.
Basic HTTP Request
Check out the example functions
http_rest_with_url and
http_rest_with_hostname_path in the application example for implementation details.
Persistent Connections
Persistent connection means that the HTTP client can re-use the same connection for several exchanges. If the server does not request to close the connection with the
Connection: close header, the connection is not dropped but is instead kept open and used for further requests.
To allow ESP HTTP client to take full advantage of persistent connections, one should make as many requests as possible using the same handle instance. Check out the example functions
http_rest_with_url and
http_rest_with_hostname_path in the application example. Here, once the connection is created, multiple requests (
GET,
POST,
PUT, etc.) are made before the connection is closed.
Use Secure Element (ATECC608) for TLS
A secure element (ATECC608) can be also used for the underlying TLS connection in the HTTP client connection. Please refer to the ATECC608A (Secure Element) with ESP-TLS section in the ESP-TLS documentation for more details. The secure element support has to be first enabled in menuconfig through CONFIG_ESP_TLS_USE_SECURE_ELEMENT. |
Basic authentication) and
http_auth_digest(for Digest authentication) in the application example for implementation details.
-
Examples of Authentication Configuration
-
Authentication with URIesp_http_client_config_t config = { .url = "http://user:passwd@httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd", .auth_type = HTTP_AUTH_TYPE_BASIC, };
-
Authentication with username and password entryesp_http_client_config_t config = { .url = "http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd", .username = "user", .password = "passwd", .auth_type = HTTP_AUTH_TYPE_BASIC, };
Event Handling
ESP HTTP Client supports event handling by triggering an event handler corresponding to the event which takes place.
esp_http_client_event_id_t contains all the events which could occur while performing an HTTP request using the ESP HTTP Client.
To enable event handling, you just need to set a callback function using the

Diagnostic information could be helpful to gain insights into a problem. In the case of ESP HTTP Client, the diagnostic information can be collected by registering an event handler with the Event Loop library. This feature has been added by keeping in mind the ESP Insights framework which collects the diagnostic information. However, this feature can also be used without any dependency on the ESP Insights framework for the diagnostic purpose. Event handler can be registered to the event loop using the
esp_event_handler_register() function.
Expected data types for different HTTP Client events in the event loop are as follows:
-
|
HTTP_EVENT_REDIRECT :
esp_http_client_redirect_event_data_t
The
esp_http_client_handle_t received along with the event data will be valid until
HTTP_EVENT_DISCONNECTED is not received. This handle has been sent primarily to differentiate between different client connections and must not be used for any other purpose, as it may change based on client connection state.
API Reference
Header File
This header file can be included with:
#include "esp_http_client.h"
This header file is a part of the API provided by the
esp_http_clientcomponent. To declare that your component depends on
esp_http_client, add the following to your CMakeLists.txt:
REQUIRES esp_http_client
or
PRIV_REQUIRES esp_http_client
Functions
-
esp_http_client_handle_t esp_http_client_init(const esp_http_client_config_t *config)
Start a HTTP session This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a esp_http_client_handle_t that you must use as input to other functions in the interface. This call MUST have a corresponding call to esp_http_client_cleanup when the operation is complete.
- Parameters
config -- [in] The configurations, see
http_client_config_t
- Returns
esp_http_client_handle_t
NULL if any errors
-
-
esp_err_t esp_http_client_perform(esp_http_client_handle_t client)
Invoke this function after
esp_http_client_initand all the options calls are made, and will perform the transfer as described in the options. It must be called with the same esp_http_client_handle_t as input as the esp_http_client_init call returned. esp_http_client_perform performs the entire request in either blocking or non-blocking manner. By default, the API performs request in a blocking manner and returns when done, or if it failed, and in non-blocking manner, it returns if EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK or EINPROGRESS is encountered, or if it failed. And in case of non-blocking request, the user may call this API multiple times unless request & response is complete or there is a failure. To enable non-blocking esp_http_client_perform(),
is_asyncmember of esp_http_client_config_t must be set while making a call to esp_http_client_init() API. You can do any amount of calls to esp_http_client_perform while using the same esp_http_client_handle_t. The underlying connection may be kept open if the server allows it. If you intend to transfer more than one file, you are even encouraged to do so. esp_http_client will then attempt to re-use the same connection for the following transfers, thus making the operations faster, less CPU intense and using less network resources. Just note that you will have to use
esp_http_client_set_**between the invokes to set options for the following esp_http_client_perform.
Note
You must never call this function simultaneously from two places using the same client handle. Let the function return first before invoking it another time. If you want parallel transfers, you must use several esp_http_client_handle_t. |

[] asm("_binary_servercert_pem_start"); extern const unsigned char servercert_end [] asm("_binary_servercert_pem_end"); https_conf.servercert = servercert_start; https_conf.servercert_len = servercert_end - servercert_start; /* Load server private key */ extern const unsigned char prvtkey_pem_start [] asm("_binary_prvtkey_pem_start"); extern const unsigned char prvtkey_pem_end [] asm("_binary_prvtkey_pem_end"); https_conf.prvtkey_pem = prvtkey_pem_start; https_conf.prvtkey_len = prvtkey_pem_end - prvtkey_pem_start; esp_local_ctrl_config_t config = { .transport = ESP_LOCAL_CTRL_TRANSPORT_HTTPD, .transport_config = { .httpd = &https_conf }, .proto_sec = { .version = PROTOCOM_SEC0, .custom_handle = NULL, .sec_params = NULL, }, .handlers = { /* User defined handler functions */ .get_prop_values = get_property_values, .set_prop_values = set_property_values, .usr_ctx = NULL, .usr_ctx_free_fn = NULL }, /* Maximum number of properties that may be set */ .max_properties = 10 }; /* Start esp_local_ctrl service */ ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_local_ctrl_start(&config));
You may set security for transport in ESP local control using following options:
PROTOCOM_SEC2: specifies that SRP6a-based key exchange and end-to-end encryption based on AES-GCM are used. This is the most preferred option as it adds a robust security with Augmented PAKE protocol, i.e., SRP6a.
PROTOCOM_SEC1: specifies that Curve25519-based key exchange and end-to-end encryption based on AES-CTR are used.
PROTOCOM_SEC0: specifies that data will be exchanged as a plain text (no security).
|
Each property must have a unique
`name` (string), a
type (e.g., enum),
flags` (bit fields) and
size`.
The
size is to be kept 0, if we want our property value to be of variable length (e.g., if it is a string or bytestream). For data types with fixed-length property value, like int, float, etc., setting the
size field to the right value helps esp_local_ctrl to perform internal checks on arguments received with write requests.
The interpretation of
type and
flags fields is totally upto the application, hence they may be used as enumerations, bitfields, or even simple integers. One way is to use
type values to classify properties, while
flags to specify characteristics of a property.
Here is an example property which is to function as a timestamp. It is assumed that the application defines
TYPE_TIMESTAMP and
READONLY, which are used for setting the
type and
flags fields here.
/ |
* Create a timestamp property */ esp_local_ctrl_prop_t timestamp = { .name = "timestamp", .type = TYPE_TIMESTAMP, .size = sizeof(int32_t), .flags = READONLY, .ctx = func_get_time, .ctx_free_fn = NULL }; /* Now register the property */ esp_local_ctrl_add_property(×tamp);
Also notice that there is a ctx field, which is set to point to some custom func_get_time(). This can be used inside the property get/set handlers to retrieve timestamp.
Here is an example of
get_prop_values() handler, which is used for retrieving the timestamp.
static esp_err_t get_property_values(size_t props_count, const esp_local_ctrl_prop_t *props, esp_local_ctrl_prop_val_t *prop_values, void *usr_ctx) { for (uint32_t i = 0; i < props_count; i++) { ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Reading %s", props[i].name); if (props[i].type == TYPE_TIMESTAMP) { /* Obtain the timer function from ctx */ int32_t (*func_get_time)(void) = props[i].ctx; /* Use static variable for saving the value. |
Notice how we restrict from writing to read-only properties.
static esp_err_t set_property_values(size_t props_count, const esp_local_ctrl_prop_t *props, const esp_local_ctrl_prop_val_t *prop_values, void *usr_ctx) { for (uint32_t i = 0; i < props_count; i++) { if (props[i].flags & READONLY) { ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Cannot write to read-only property %s", props[i].name); return ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG; } else { ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Setting %s", props[i].name); /* For keeping it simple, lets only log the incoming data */ ESP_LOG_BUFFER_HEX_LEVEL(TAG, prop_values[i].data, prop_values[i].size, ESP_LOG_INFO); } } return ESP_OK; }
For complete example see protocols/esp_local_ctrl.
Client Side Implementation
The client side implementation establishes a protocomm session with the device first, over the supported mode of transport, and then send and receive protobuf messages understood by the esp_local_ctrl service. The service translates these messages into requests and then call the appropriate handlers (set/get). Then, the generated response for each handler is again packed into a protobuf message and transmitted back to the client.
See below the various protobuf messages understood by the esp_local_ctrl service:
|
This accepts an array of indices and an array of new values, which are used for setting the values of the properties corresponding to the indices.
Note that indices may or may not be the same for a property, across multiple sessions. Therefore, the client must only use the names of the properties to uniquely identify them. So, every time a new session is established, the client should first call
get_prop_count and then
get_prop_values, hence form an index-to-name mapping for all properties. Now when calling
set_prop_values for a set of properties, it must first convert the names to indexes, using the created mapping. As emphasized earlier, the client must refresh the index-to-name mapping every time a new session is established with the same device.

ESP Serial Slave Link
Overview
Espressif provides several chips that can work as slaves. These slave devices rely on some common buses, and have their own communication protocols over those buses. The
esp_serial_slave_link component is designed for the master to communicate with ESP slave devices through those protocols over the bus drivers.
After an
esp_serial_slave_link device is initialized properly, the application can use it to communicate with the ESP slave devices conveniently.
Note
The ESP-IDF component
esp_serial_slave_link has been moved from ESP-IDF since version v5.0 to a separate repository:
To add ESSL component in your project, please run
idf.py add-dependency espressif/esp_serial_slave_link.

ESSL: Abbreviation for ESP Serial Slave Link, the component described by this document.
Master: |
The device running the
esp_serial_slave_linkcomponent.
ESSL device: a virtual device on the master associated with an ESP slave device. The device context has the knowledge of the slave protocol above the bus, relying on some bus drivers to communicate with the slave.
ESSL device handle: a handle to ESSL device context containing the configuration, status and data required by the ESSL component. The context stores the driver configurations, communication state, data shared by master and slave, etc.
The context should be initialized before it is used, and get deinitialized if not used any more. The master application operates on the ESSL device through this handle.
-
ESP slave: the slave device connected to the bus, which ESSL component is designed to communicate with.
Bus: The bus over which the master and the slave communicate with each other.
Slave protocol: The special communication protocol specified by Espressif HW/SW over the bus.
TX buffer num: a counter, which is on the slave and can be read by the master, indicates the accumulated buffer numbers that the slave has loaded to the hardware to receive data from the master.
RX data size: a counter, which is on the slave and can be read by the master, indicates the accumulated data size that the slave has loaded to the hardware to send to the master.
Services Provided by ESP Slave
There are some common services provided by the Espressif slaves:
Tohost Interrupts: The slave can inform the master about certain events by the interrupt line. (optional)
Frhost Interrupts: The master can inform the slave about certain events.
TX FIFO (master to slave): The slave can receive data from the master in units of receiving buffers.
The slave updates the TX buffer num to inform the master how much data it can receive, and the master then read the TX buffer num, and take off the used buffer number to know how many buffers are remaining.
|
The slave can send data in stream to the master. The SDIO slave can also indicate it has new data to send to master by the interrupt line.
The slave updates the RX data size to inform the master how much data it has prepared to send, and then the master read the data size, and take off the data length it has already received to know how many data is remaining.
Shared registers: The master can read some part of the registers on the slave, and also write these registers to let the slave read.
The services provided by the slave depends on the slave's model. See SDIO Slave Capabilities of Espressif Chips and SPI Slave Capabilities of Espressif Chips for more details.
Initialization of ESP Serial Slave Link
ESP SDIO Slave
The ESP SDIO slave link (ESSL SDIO) devices relies on the SDMMC component. It includes the usage of communicating with ESP SDIO Slave device via the SDMMC Host or SDSPI Host feature. The ESSL device should be initialized as below:
Initialize a SDMMC card (see :doc:` Document of SDMMC driver </api-reference/storage/sdmmc>`) structure.
|
Call
sdmmc_card_init()to initialize the card.
Initialize the ESSL device with
essl_sdio_config_t. The
cardmember should be the
sdmmc_card_tgot in step 2, and the
recv_buffer_sizemember should be filled correctly according to pre-negotiated value.
Call
essl_init()to do initialization of the SDIO part.
Call
essl_wait_for_ready()to wait for the slave to be ready.
ESP SPI Slave
Note
If you are communicating with the ESP SDIO Slave device through SPI interface, you should use the SDIO interface instead.
Has not been supported yet.
APIs
After the initialization process above is performed, you can call the APIs below to make use of the services provided by the slave:
Tohost Interrupts (Optional)
Call
essl_get_intr_ena()to know which events trigger the interrupts to the master.
Call
essl_set_intr_ena()to set the events that trigger interrupts to the master.
Call
essl_wait_int()to wait until interrupt from the slave, or timeout.
When interrupt is triggered, call
essl_get_intr()to know which events are active, and call
essl_clear_intr()to clear them.
Frhost Interrupts
Call
essl_send_slave_intr()to trigger general purpose interrupt of the slave.
TX FIFO
Call
essl_get_tx_buffer_num()to know how many buffers the slave has prepared to receive data from the master. |
send data to the slave.
RX FIFO
Call
essl_get_rx_data_size()to know how many data the slave has prepared to send to the master. This is optional. When the master tries to receive data from the slave, it updates the
rx_data_sizefor once, if the current
rx_data_sizeis shorter than the buffer size the master prepared to receive. And it may poll the
rx_data_sizeif the
rx_data_sizekeeps 0, until timeout.
Call
essl_get_packet()to receive data from the slave.
Reset Counters (Optional)
Call
essl_reset_cnt() to reset the internal counter if you find the slave has reset its counter.
Application Example
The example below shows how ESP32 SDIO host and slave communicate with each other. The host uses the ESSL SDIO:

HTTP Server
Overview
The HTTP Server component provides an ability for running a lightweight web server on ESP32. Following are detailed steps to use the API exposed by HTTP Server:
-
httpd_start(): Creates an instance of HTTP server, allocate memory/resources for it depending upon the specified configuration and outputs a handle to the server instance. The server has both, a listening socket (TCP) for HTTP traffic, and a control socket (UDP) for control signals, which are selected in a round robin fashion in the server task loop. The task priority and stack size are configurable during server instance creation by passing
httpd_config_tstructure to
httpd_start(). TCP traffic is parsed as HTTP requests and, depending on the requested URI, user registered handlers are invoked which are supposed to send back HTTP response packets.
-
httpd_stop(): This stops the server with the provided handle and frees up any associated memory/resources. This is a blocking function that first signals a halt to the server task and then waits for the task to terminate. While stopping, the task closes all open connections, removes registered URI handlers and resets all session context data to empty.
-
httpd_register_uri_handler(): A URI handler is registered by passing object of type
httpd_uri_tstructure which has members including
uriname,
methodtype (eg.
HTTPD_GET/HTTPD_POST/HTTPD_PUTetc.), function pointer of type
esp_err_t *handler (httpd_req_t *req)and
user_ctxpointer to user context data.
Application Example
/* |
In case of string data, null termination will be absent, and * content length would give length of string */ char content[100]; /* Truncate if content length larger than the buffer */ size_t recv_size = MIN(req->content_len, sizeof(content)); int ret = httpd_req_recv(req, content, recv_size); if (ret <= 0) { /* 0 return value indicates connection closed */ /* Check if timeout occurred */ if (ret == HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT) { /* In case of timeout one can choose to retry calling * httpd_req_recv(), but to keep it simple, here we * respond with an HTTP 408 (Request Timeout) error */ httpd_resp_send_408(req); } / * In case of error, returning ESP_FAIL will * ensure that the underlying socket is closed */ return ESP_FAIL; } /* Send a simple response */ const char resp [] = "URI POST Response"; httpd_resp_send(req, resp, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN); return ESP_OK; } /* URI handler structure for GET /uri |
NULL }; /* Function for starting the webserver */ httpd_handle_t start_webserver(void) { /* Generate default configuration */ httpd_config_t config = HTTPD_DEFAULT_CONFIG(); /* Empty handle to esp_http_server */ httpd_handle_t server = NULL; /* Start the httpd server */ if (httpd_start(&server, &config) == ESP_OK) { /* Register URI handlers */ httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &uri_get); httpd_register_uri_handler(server, &uri_post); } /* If server failed to start, handle will be NULL */ return server; } /* Function for stopping the webserver */ void stop_webserver(httpd_handle_t server) { if (server) { /* Stop the httpd server */ httpd_stop(server); } }
|
Server Example
Check HTTP server example under protocols/http_server/simple where handling of arbitrary content lengths, reading request headers and URL query parameters, and setting response headers is demonstrated.
Persistent Connections
HTTP server features persistent connections, allowing for the re-use of the same connection (session) for several transfers, all the while maintaining context specific data for the session. Context data may be allocated dynamically by the handler in which case a custom function may need to be specified for freeing this data when the connection/session is closed.
|
Persistent Connections Example
/* Custom function to free context */
void free_ctx_func(void *ctx)
{
/* Could be something other than free */
free(ctx);
}
esp_err_t adder_post_handler(httpd_req_t *req)
{
/* Create session's context if not already available */
if (! req->sess_ctx) {
req->sess_ctx = malloc(sizeof(ANY_DATA_TYPE)); /*!< Pointer to context data */
req->free_ctx = free_ctx_func; /*!< Function to free context data */
}
/* Access context data */
ANY_DATA_TYPE *ctx_data = (ANY_DATA_TYPE *)req->sess_ctx;
/* Respond */
...............
...............
...............
return ESP_OK;
}
Check the example under protocols/http_server/persistent_sockets.

Websocket Server
The HTTP server component provides websocket support. The websocket feature can be enabled in menuconfig using the CONFIG_HTTPD_WS_SUPPORT option. Please refer to the protocols/http_server/ ws_echo_server example which demonstrates usage of the websocket feature.
Event Handling
ESP HTTP server has various events for which a handler can be triggered by the Event Loop library when the particular event occurs. The handler has to be registered using
esp_event_handler_register(). This helps in event handling for ESP HTTP server.
esp_http_server_event_id_t has all the events which can happen for ESP HTTP server.

hd -- |
[in] The request to create an async copy of
out -- [out] A newly allocated request which can be used on an async thread
-
- Returns
ESP_OK : async request object created
-
-
-
esp_err_t httpd_req_async_handler_complete(httpd_req_t *r)
Mark an asynchronous request as completed. This will.
free the request memory
relinquish ownership of the underlying socket, so it can be reused.
allow the http server to close our socket if needed (lru_purge_enable)
Note
If async requests are not marked completed, eventually the server will no longer accept incoming connections. The server will log a "httpd_accept_conn: error in accept (23)" message if this happens.
- Parameters
r -- [in] The request to mark async work as completed
- Returns
ESP_OK : async request was marked completed
-
-
-
int httpd_req_to_sockfd(httpd_req_t *r)
Get the Socket Descriptor from the HTTP request.
This API will return the socket descriptor of the session for which URI handler was executed on reception of HTTP request. This is useful when user wants to call functions that require session socket fd, from within a URI handler, ie. : httpd_sess_get_ctx(), httpd_sess_trigger_close(), httpd_sess_update_lru_counter().
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
- Parameters
r -- [in] The request whose socket descriptor should be found
- Returns
Socket descriptor : The socket descriptor for this request
-1 : Invalid/NULL request pointer
-
-
int httpd_req_recv(httpd_req_t *r, char *buf, size_t buf_len)
API to read content data from the HTTP request.
This API will read HTTP content data from the HTTP request into provided buffer. Use content_len provided in httpd_req_t structure to know the length of data to be fetched. If content_len is too large for the buffer then user may have to make multiple calls to this function, each time fetching 'buf_len' number of bytes, while the pointer to content data is incremented internally by the same number.
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
If an error is returned, the URI handler must further return an error. This will ensure that the erroneous socket is closed and cleaned up by the web server.
|
[in] The request being responded to
buf -- [in] Pointer to a buffer that the data will be read into
buf_len -- [in] Length of the buffer
-
- Returns
Bytes : Number of bytes read into the buffer successfully

-
-
-
size_t httpd_req_get_hdr_value_len(httpd_req_t *r, const char *field)
Search for a field in request headers and return the string length of it's value.
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
Once httpd_resp_send() API is called all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.
- Parameters
r -- [in] The request being responded to
field -- [in] The header field to be searched in the request
-
- Returns
Length : If field is found in the request URL
Zero : Field not found / Invalid request / Null arguments

esp_err_t httpd_req_get_hdr_value_str(httpd_req_t *r, const char *field, char *val, size_t val_size)
Get the value string of a field from the request headers.
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
Once httpd_resp_send() API is called all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.
If output size is greater than input, then the value is truncated, accompanied by truncation error as return value.
|
[in] Size of the user buffer "val"
-
- Returns
ESP_OK : Field found in the request header and value string copied
ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Key not found
ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments
ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid HTTP request pointer
ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC : Value string truncated
-
-
-
size_t httpd_req_get_url_query_len(httpd_req_t *r)
Get Query string length from the request URL.
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid
- Parameters
r -- [in] The request being responded to
- Returns
Length : Query is found in the request URL
Zero : Query not found / Null arguments / Invalid request
-
-
esp_err_t httpd_req_get_url_query_str(httpd_req_t *r, char *buf, size_t buf_len)
Get Query string from the request URL.
Note
Presently, the user can fetch the full URL query string, but decoding will have to be performed by the user. Request headers can be read using httpd_req_get_hdr_value_str() to know the 'Content-Type' (eg. Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and then the appropriate decoding algorithm needs to be applied.
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid
If output size is greater than input, then the value is truncated, accompanied by truncation error as return value
Prior to calling this function, one can use httpd_req_get_url_query_len() to know the query string length beforehand and hence allocate the buffer of right size (usually query string length + 1 for null termination) for storing the query string
- Parameters
r -- [in] The request being responded to
buf -- [out] Pointer to the buffer into which the query string will be copied (if found)
buf_len -- [in] Length of output buffer
-
- Returns
ESP_OK : Query is found in the request URL and copied to buffer
ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Query not found

Helper function to get a URL query tag from a query string of the type param1=val1¶m2=val2.
Note
The components of URL query string (keys and values) are not URLdecoded. The user must check for 'Content-Type' field in the request headers and then depending upon the specified encoding (URLencoded or otherwise) apply the appropriate decoding algorithm.
If actual value size is greater than val_size, then the value is truncated, accompanied by truncation error as return value.
- Parameters
qry -- |
[in] Pointer to query string
key -- [in] The key to be searched in the query string
val -- [out] Pointer to the buffer into which the value will be copied if the key is found
val_size -- [in] Size of the user buffer "val"
-
- Returns
ESP_OK : Key is found in the URL query string and copied to buffer
ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Key not found
ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments
ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESULT_TRUNC : Value string truncated
-
-
Get the value string of a cookie value from the "Cookie" request headers by cookie name.
- Parameters
req -- |
[in] URI template (pattern)
uri_to_match -- [in] URI to be matched
match_upto -- [in] how many characters of the URI buffer to test (there may be trailing query string etc.)
-
- Returns
true if a match was found
-
-
esp_err_t httpd_resp_send(httpd_req_t *r, const char *buf, ssize_t buf_len)
API to send a complete HTTP response.
This API will send the data as an HTTP response to the request. This assumes that you have the entire response ready in a single buffer. If you wish to send response in incremental chunks use httpd_resp_send_chunk() instead.
If no status code and content-type were set, by default this will send 200 OK status code and content type as text/html. You may call the following functions before this API to configure the response headers : httpd_resp_set_status() - for setting the HTTP status string, httpd_resp_set_type() - for setting the Content Type, httpd_resp_set_hdr() - for appending any additional field value entries in the response header
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
Once this API is called, the request has been responded to.
No additional data can then be sent for the request.
Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.
- Parameters
r -- |
[in] The request being responded to
buf -- [in] Buffer from where the content is to be fetched
buf_len -- [in] Length of the buffer, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN to use strlen()
-
- Returns
ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet
ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null request pointer
ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_HDR : Essential headers are too large for internal buffer
ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_SEND : Error in raw send
ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request
-
-
-
esp_err_t httpd_resp_send_chunk(httpd_req_t *r, const char *buf, ssize_t buf_len)
API to send one HTTP chunk.
This API will send the data as an HTTP response to the request. This API will use chunked-encoding and send the response in the form of chunks. If you have the entire response contained in a single buffer, please use httpd_resp_send() instead.
If no status code and content-type were set, by default this will send 200 OK status code and content type as text/html. You may call the following functions before this API to configure the response headers httpd_resp_set_status() - for setting the HTTP status string, httpd_resp_set_type() - for setting the Content Type, httpd_resp_set_hdr() - for appending any additional field value entries in the response header
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
When you are finished sending all your chunks, you must call this function with buf_len as 0.
Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.
- Parameters

Helper function for HTTP 500.
Send HTTP 500 message. If you wish to send additional data in the body of the response, please use the lower-level functions directly.
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into separate buffers if they are required later.
- Parameters
r -- |
Call this API if you wish to construct your custom response packet. When using this, all essential header, eg. HTTP version, Status Code, Content Type and Length, Encoding, etc. will have to be constructed manually, and HTTP delimeters (CRLF) will need to be placed correctly for separating sub-sections of the HTTP response packet.
If the send override function is set, this API will end up calling that function eventually to send data out.
Note
This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request pointer is valid.
Unless the response has the correct HTTP structure (which the user must now ensure) it is not guaranteed that it will be recognized by the client. For most cases, you wouldn't have to call this API, but you would rather use either of : httpd_resp_send(), httpd_resp_send_chunk()
- Parameters

-
esp_err_t httpd_sess_trigger_close(httpd_handle_t handle, int sockfd)
|
Update LRU counter for a given socket.
LRU Counters are internally associated with each session to monitor how recently a session exchanged traffic. When LRU purge is enabled, if a client is requesting for connection but maximum number of sockets/sessions is reached, then the session having the earliest LRU counter is closed automatically.
Updating the LRU counter manually prevents the socket from being purged due to the Least Recently Used (LRU) logic, even though it might not have received traffic for some time. This is useful when all open sockets/session are frequently exchanging traffic but the user specifically wants one of the sessions to be kept open, irrespective of when it last exchanged a packet.
Note
Calling this API is only necessary if the LRU Purge Enable option is enabled.
- Parameters
handle -- |
[in] Handle to server returned by httpd_start
sockfd -- [in] The socket descriptor of the session for which LRU counter is to be updated
-
- Returns
ESP_OK : Socket found and LRU counter updated
ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND : Socket not found
ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null arguments
-
-
esp_err_t httpd_get_client_list(httpd_handle_t handle, size_t *fds, int *client_fds)

[in] server instance
- Param sockfd
[in] session socket file descriptor
- Param buf
[in] buffer with bytes to send
- Param buf_len

typedef int (*httpd_pending_func_t)(httpd_handle_t hd, int sockfd)
Prototype for HTTPDs low-level "get pending bytes" function.
|
This function is executed upon HTTP errors generated during internal processing of an HTTP request. This is used to override the default behavior on error, which is to send HTTP error response and close the underlying socket.
Note
If implemented, the server will not automatically send out HTTP error response codes, therefore, httpd_resp_send_err() must be invoked inside this function if user wishes to generate HTTP error responses.
When invoked, the validity of
uri,
method,
content_lenand
user_ctxfields of the httpd_req_t parameter is not guaranteed as the HTTP request may be partially received/parsed.
The function must return ESP_OK if underlying socket needs to be kept open. Any other value will ensure that the socket is closed. The return value is ignored when error is of type
HTTPD_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERRORand the socket closed anyway.
- Param req
[in] HTTP request for which the error needs to be handled
- Param error
[in] Error type
- Return
ESP_OK : error handled successful
ESP_FAIL : failure indicates that the underlying socket needs to be closed

HTTPS Server
Overview
This component is built on top of HTTP Server. The HTTPS server takes advantage of hook registration functions in the regular HTTP server to provide callback function for SSL session.
All documentation for HTTP Server applies also to a server you create this way.
Used APIs
The following APIs of HTTP Server should not be used with HTTPS Server, as they are used internally to handle secure sessions and to maintain internal state:
"send", "receive" and "pending" callback registration functions - secure socket handling
"transport context" - both global and session
httpd_sess_get_transport_ctx()- returns SSL used for the session
httpd_get_global_transport_ctx()- returns the shared SSL context
httpd_config::open_fn- used to set up secure sockets
-
Everything else can be used without limitations.
Usage
Please see the example protocols/https_server to learn how to set up a secure server.
Basically, all you need is to generate a certificate, embed it into the firmware, and pass the init struct into the start function after the certificate address and lengths are correctly configured in the init struct.
The server can be started with or without SSL by changing a flag in the init struct -
httpd_ssl_config::transport_mode. This could be used, e.g., for testing or in trusted environments where you prefer speed over security.
Performance
The initial session setup can take about two seconds, or more with slower clock speed or more verbose logging. Subsequent requests through the open secure socket are much faster (down to under 100 ms).
