ESP Airlift socket cannot be assigned to HTTPServer

[smoczyna]

Following assignment causes http sever to fail on start. Is the socket incompatible here ? The same issue happens in circuit python v7 and v8

from adafruit_esp32spi import adafruit_esp32spi
import adafruit_esp32spi.adafruit_esp32spi_socket as socket
from adafruit_httpserver.server import HTTPServer
...
esp = adafruit_esp32spi.ESP_SPIcontrol(spi, esp32_cs, esp32_ready, esp32_reset)
socket.set_interface(esp)
server = HTTPServer(socket)
server.start(esp.pretty_ip(esp.ip_address))

error message:

The adafruit_httpserver library is designed to work with CPython-compatible circuitpython-native sockets (espressif and raspberrypi / Pico W). The sockets exposed by the ESP32SPI NINA firmware are based on Arduino and have a different API (no bind, listen, or accept).

There are examples of HTTP servers for Airlift, for example: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_ESP32SPI/tree/main/examples/server

We would like to redo the ESP32SPI library to be API compatible, but haven't done that yet. Maybe it would be a new library, since it would obsolete so much code.

all right, that example mentioned above work fine, thanks
