Is it possible to temporarily stop web-server to free up space? #317

I have read everywhere that esp-link does not support TLS for MQTT because there is not enough space. I have also seen other people connecting to MQTT with TLS however without webserver running on their esp8266. Now my question is that is it possible to turn-off the webserver and free up some space so TLS can be used? TLS can be stopped and webserver can be turned back on by reseting esp8266 etc if needed.

Yes, you could turn off listening sockets but I'm not sure how much memory you really release. There is also a lot of static memory allocated across the board. So YMMV...
