ESP8266Webserver unable to send large amount of data (html)

[rvbcrs]

Hi, I have the problem that I try to send a nice looking html page with _currentClient.print(response); but html is always getting capped at 2,876 bytes. Is there a way to send the whole page in chuncks? or another way to send the whole page? Anyone who can provide me with an example? Or alter the webserver code in a way it will accept a larger amount of data?

Thanks!

8c1a40b hopefully fixes this: server.sendContent(string); knows how to split the payload into chunks and send them one by one.

Hi, thanks for your response! I downloaded the latests source and comiled my project again. It seems to work but when I connect to the ESP8266 I now see nothing anymore! In chrome in developer tools I get this message: (failed)net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

this is my current code:

Serial.println("*** START HTML ***");
Serial.println(homePage);
Serial.println("*** END HTML ***");
server.send(200, "text/html", homePage);

i see the complete HTML displayed in the serial console, but nothing in the browser!
Any advise?

UPDATE:
It seems to be working correctly for "text/plain" and for "text/html" asl long as the html is not to big, I tried it with a fairly small html string and it was working perfectly!

This could be problem of the stack - if you have a lot of Strings in the sketch, the stack is full.

Hmm I'm pretty new to all this! Can you tell me what to do to prevent this? Use F() around the string? Or use PROGMEM? I thoughtI read somewhere that it was not working..

Thanks!

Got it working! I've replaced all my files again with a freshly downloaded one from yesterday, put my string inside F() and now it works perfectly and fast!
