2 days ago Default HTTPClient timeut is 5000 ms (5 seconds).
It can be fixed by adding setTimeout(time_ms);
NetworkClient &getClient(Drivers::string url) {
client = NetworkClient();
client.setTimeout(100); // 100ms reading timeout
clientSecure = NetworkClientSecure();
clientSecure.setInsecure();
if (url.compare(0, 8, "https://") == 0) { return clientSecure; }
return client;
}Timeout affects Stream class, here:
auto downloaded = stream.readBytes(const_cast<uint8_t *>(buffer), bufferSize);

My pio: platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/51.03.07/platform-espressif32.zip board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1 framework = arduino
Using HTTPClient over HTTP results in a significant delay on the last packet (around 5 seconds), whereas this delay doesn’t occur over HTTPS. In general, HTTPS is also noticeably faster, which is surprising since encryption is expected to add some overhead.
The file being downloaded is the same in both cases, from the same server, and the only difference in the URL is whether it starts with HTTP or HTTPS.
Could someone help me understand if I’m doing something wrong, or if this might be a bug?”
