ESP32 Over the Air Upload + Send Data to Web Sever

Hello,

I followed this RandomNerdsTutorial in order to upload code wirelessly to my ESP32 S2 via OTA. ESP32 Over-the-air (OTA) Programming | Random Nerd Tutorials

I am using their exact code and it works. However, I want to send a variable output as an addition, in this case battery voltage, to the ip/serverindex window (below the upload/progress bar). Ideally, this variable would refresh each loop?

Here is the code I am using:

const char* password = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PASSWORD";

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Is there a better/easier way?

Thanks!

okay, I have done it for you, this code is untested
