Is there any way to run the server with HTTPS?

Is there any way to run the server over HTTPS? I am aware that the browser will warn of the error ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (connection not private).

Hello,
HTTPS is not supported no...
I think Psychic or mongoose are the way to go currently for https support on esp32.

Thanks 👍, I didn't know about these other libraries.

• PsychicHttp: github.com/hoeken/PsychicHttp
• ArduinoMongoose: github.com/jeremypoulter/ArduinoMongoose

I saw that in the file ESPAsyncWebServer.h there are the function prototypes onSslFileRequest(AcSSlFileHandler cb, void *arg) and beginSecure(const char *cert, const char *private_key_file, const char *password). Wouldn't this be possible to use to build a web server with a certificate (HTTPS)? If so, could you write an example or just tell me how to use this?

These are here because some implementations for esp8266 or rpi2040 support it of I remember.
But AsyncTCP for esp32 does not.
