Web server / client support?

[zackify]

With the pico w, is there any chance of getting a simple web server like micro python has?

I know there is the local cloud stuff that is being worked on, but I would love being able to make a simple server or make http requests to things.

Related to MQTT (#395), supporting different networking setups.

We are looking into this for the ESP32.

We have added "fetch" and sockets in the latest release (v2.10.*)

[zackify]

Wow that was fast! That’s so awesome thanks

[zackify]

Any way for me to know when this will be in the docs? I didn’t see any notes on release either

[pelikhan]

The docs are not quite there yet but the fetch implementation should give you a good idea of how to use sockets.

Thanks so much that’s perfect on the client side, just need to learn how I can start a http server next!

Edit: nice I’m reading your socket code. Very helpful

[pelikhan]

(moved to discussion) keep us up to date on the server impl

[zackify]

Also, will http 2 support be added to fetch? May be worth looking into

[pelikhan]

I think http2 support will have to be a community contribution. which feature in particular?

[arxenix]

is tcp/tls server support coming @pelikhan ?

[pelikhan]

We are not planning to work on server support but we welcome contributions.
