By default, the server will listen on port 443. If you want to change that (or some other options), you can have a look at the optional parameters of the [`HTTPServer`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1HTTPServer.html) or [`HTTPSServer`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1HTTPSServer.html) constructors.
By default, the server will listen on port `443`. If you want to change that (or some other options), you can have a look at the optional parameters of the [`HTTPServer`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1HTTPServer.html) or [`HTTPSServer`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1HTTPSServer.html) constructors.

The only difference between the HTTP and HTTPS version is the certificate which you have to configure. Keep in mind that each opened connection of the TLS-enabled `HTTPSServer` requires additional 40 to 50 kB of heap memory for the TLS connection itself. This has to be considered when increasing `maxConnections`.

### Add Resources to the Server

Every _route_ (or path) that should be accessible on the server has to be configured as a so-called `ResourceNode`. Such a node links a handler function to a specific route (like `/test`) and HTTP method (like `GET`). The handler function could look like this:

```C++
void handleRoot(HTTPRequest * req, HTTPResponse * res) {
void handleRoot(HTTPRequest * req, HTTPResponse * res)
{
// We want to deliver an HTML page, so we set the content type
res->setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
// The response implements the Print interface, so you can use it just like

Note that you can define a single [`ResourceNode`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1ResourceNode.html) via `HTTPServer::setDefaultNode()`, which will be called if no other node on the server matches. Method and route are ignored in this case. Most examples use this to define a 404-handler, which might be a good idea for most scenarios. In case no default node is specified, the server will return with a small error page if no matching route is found.

### Start the Server

A call to [`HTTPServer::start()`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1HTTPServer.html#a1b1b6bce0b52348ca5b5664cf497e039) will start the server so that it is listening on the previously specified port:

By default, you need to pass control to the server explicitly. This is done by calling the [`HTTPServer::loop()`](https://fhessel.github.io/esp32_https_server/classhttpsserver_1_1HTTPServer.html#af8f68f5ff6ad101827bcc52217249fe2) function, which you usually will put into your Arduino sketch's `loop()` function. Once called, the server will first check for incoming connection (up to the maximum connection count that has been defined in the constructor), and then handle every open connection if it has new data on the socket. So your request handler functions will be called during the call to `loop()`. Note that if one of your handler functions is blocking, it will block all other connections as well.

### Running the Server asynchronously

If you want to have the server running in the background (and not calling `loop()` by yourself every few milliseconds), you can make use of the ESP32's task feature and put the whole server in a separate task.

See the [Async-Server example](https://github.com/fhessel/esp32_https_server/tree/master/examples/Async-Server) to see how this can be done.

## Advanced Configuration

This section covers some advanced configuration options that allow you, for example, to customize the build process, but which might require more advanced programming skills and a more sophisticated IDE that just the default Arduino IDE.
