Tiny WebServer crashes after some hours



  • Hi folks

    I have the problem, that the following code (it's a tiny web server) crashes after some hours.
    I don't know what the problem exactly is, but it is not reachable after some hours of perfect running.
    The label "labelWebServer" does show "RUNS", but I get a "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" because the server does not response anymore until I restart the device.

    You can call the tiny web server like:
    http://{IpAddress}/api/v1.0/level

    Does anyone have a idea, what I am doing wrong?

    Annotation: It is one of 2 threads. My second thread reads out some sensors and calculates the "level". The second thread is working like a charm.

    Code Example: Tiny Web Server

    from m5stack import *`
    from m5ui import *
    from uiflow import *

    import wifiCfg
    import socket

    setScreenColor(0x000000)
    
    labelWebServer = M5TextBox(240, 20, "WS", lcd.FONT_Default,0xFFFFFF, rotate=0)
    labelIpAddress = M5TextBox(300, 170, "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", lcd.FONT_Default,0xFFFFFF, rotate=270)
    levelPercent = 100
    
    wifiCfg.screenShow()
    wifiCfg.autoConnect(lcdShow = True)
    
    def webServer():
    
      global levelPercent
    
      ip = wifiCfg.wlan_sta.ifconfig()
      server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
      server.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
      server.bind((ip[0], 80))
      server.listen(1)
    
      web_response_json = """{"data":{"deviceName":"BlablaLevel","deviceId": "BlablablaWhatever","value": @value@,"unit": "@unit@"}}"""
    
      web_error_404 = """<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"><html><head><title>404 Not Found</title></head><body><h1>Not Found</h1><p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p></body></html>"""

            labelWebServer.setText('WS: RECON')
            wifiCfg.reconnect()
    
          labelWebServer.setText('WS: RUNS')
          
          conn, addr = server.accept()

          request = str(request)

            json = web_response_json
            json = json.replace('@value@', str(("%.2f"%(levelPercent))))
            json = json.replace('@unit@', '%')
            response = json
            conn.send('HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n')

          conn.sendall(response)
        
        except Exception as e:

        finally:

          except Exception as e:

    th.start_new_thread(webServer, ())

  • I also had the same issue, or that it would crash after pressing a html button too many times. I never found the reason why



  • @lukasmaximus said in Tiny WebServer crashes after some hours:

    In my opinion the problem is my code line request = conn.recv(1024)

    If the connection fails, the program never will com back here to life. So my code fragment to reconnect will never run.
    It would help if request = conn.recv(1024) would crash in case of lost connection, so that I can apply code to setup everything new.

    Hi Lukas

    Look at my solution. It runs since 2 days without a problem. If the socket crashes it will setup again after 30 seconds.
    Maybe you can adopt it
