Disable Captive Portal??

[IAmOrion]

How on earth do I disable the captive portal with this library? I'm using it in AP mode only, but it still presents the captive portal popup when I connect to it (which defaults to /setup) - but I want to disable this, I don't need it at all.

many thanks in advance

Hi @IAmOrion, unfortunately I have not provided an explicit instruction to deactivate the captive portal.

You need to comment out these lines in the file esp-fs-webserver.cpp

   // Captive Portal redirect
    webserver->on("/redirect", HTTP_GET, std::bind(&FSWebServer::captivePortal, this));
    // Windows
    webserver->on("/connecttest.txt", HTTP_GET, std::bind(&FSWebServer::captivePortal, this));
    // Apple
    webserver->on("/hotspot-detect.html", HTTP_GET, std::bind(&FSWebServer::captivePortal, this));
    // Android
    webserver->on("/generate_204", HTTP_GET, std::bind(&FSWebServer::captivePortal, this));
    webserver->on("/gen_204", HTTP_GET, std::bind(&FSWebServer::captivePortal, this));

In any case, if you need to create some kind of HMI, I recommend you take a look at this new version of the library based on the ESPAsyncWebServer component which, compared to the one integrated into the core, has greater reactivity and better page loadtime.

Perfect thanks. I figured I could comment that stuff out but was hoping I was just missing an easy method/function to disable but you answered that also so that's great, thanks :)

I shall take look at the newer async library now too, many thanks
