ESP8266WebServer args() result to high?

[Stefan300381]

Hi,

I'd like to understand if the following is a feature or bug:

I pass a few post parameters to a URL to set my WiFi configuration. These are:

• WiFiSSID = a
• WiFiPasswd = b
• DevName = c
• useDHCP = true

I assumed if I get the number of arguments via httpserver.args() it would return "4", but it returns "5".

The content of the last argument is:
plain=WiFiSSID=a&WiFiPasswd=b&DevName=c&useDHCP=true

In the documentation I found:

arg - get request argument value, use arg("plain") to get POST body
argName - get request argument name
args - get arguments count

So is it expected that the post body gets counted in the args() integer?

best regards

Stefan

Would you have a chance to test #6768 ?
(see there for history on that issue)

[Stefan300381]

well, if you can help me ;-)
I need to know where I can download the full package and how do install it in my PlatformIO system

• You can try with the git version of this core on which the PR #6768 must be applied.
• You can try the alpha release 0.0.2

sorry, need some more help. I found this:

https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/espressif8266.html#using-arduino-framework-with-staging-version

So what do I need to enter under platform_packages =
?

Staging version = git master.
Here I propose to try a pull request which is not yet merged = not in git master yet.
Beside the two methods proposed above (the second is with the official arduino IDE), I can't help much. A PIO specialist may answer (or you'll have to ask them on their forum).
