ESP32Cam in https mode

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Setting up a ESP32Cam in https mode keep getting stuck on it's final step. In http mode all is working as it should. When building the https sketch (below) i am not getting the needed return messages: 'Connection opened' and 'Websocket Connected'

Testing it on a mac, having installed openssl, nodejs, npm correctly, getting everything running without errors. Connecting a CP2102 to the ESP32Cam. What am i missing?

@bananaboat, your topic has been moved to a section of the forum where it hopefully get a better exposure.

#3

Are you receiving any events? I recommend you log any unhandled events.

#4

Shouldn't you set 'isWebSocketConnected' to 'true' in here somewhere?

#5

It says in the 4th block

void onEventsCallback(WebsocketsEvent event, String data){
  if(event == WebsocketsEvent::ConnectionOpened){
    Serial.println("Connection Opened");
    isWebSocketConnected = true;

I have been testing this throughout and it seems to be a ws / wss protocol issue.
Testing the none https version WITHOUT ws worked! WITH the ws protocol on the other hand did not.
The none https version code:

#include "esp_camera.h"
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <ArduinoWebsockets.h>
#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER
#include "camera_pins.h"
//part8
const char* ssid = "hello";
const char* password = "1234";
// const char* websocket_server_host = "ws://192.168.2.3"; // does NOT get WebSocket connection
const char* websocket_server_host = "192.168.2.3";      // DOES get websocket connection!
const uint16_t websocket_server_port = 8888;

using namespace websockets;
WebsocketsClient client;
bool isWebSocketConnected;

void onEventsCallback(WebsocketsEvent event, String data){
  if(event == WebsocketsEvent::ConnectionOpened){
    Serial.println("Connection Opened");
    isWebSocketConnected = true;
  }else if(event == WebsocketsEvent::ConnectionClosed){
    Serial.println("Connection Closed");
    isWebSocketConnected = false;
    webSocketConnect();
  }
}

void setup() {
  isWebSocketConnected = false;
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();

  camera_config_t config;
  config.ledc_channel = LEDC_CHANNEL_0;
  config.ledc_timer = LEDC_TIMER_0;
  config.pin_d0 = Y2_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d1 = Y3_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d2 = Y4_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d3 = Y5_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d4 = Y6_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d5 = Y7_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d6 = Y8_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d7 = Y9_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_xclk = XCLK_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_pclk = PCLK_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_vsync = VSYNC_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_href = HREF_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_sscb_sda = SIOD_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_sscb_scl = SIOC_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_pwdn = PWDN_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_reset = RESET_GPIO_NUM;

  esp_err_t err = esp_camera_init(&config);
  if (err != ESP_OK) {
    Serial.printf("Camera init failed with error 0x%x", err);
    return;
  }
 

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");

  client.onEvent(onEventsCallback);
  webSocketConnect();
}

void webSocketConnect(){
   while(!client.connect(websocket_server_host, websocket_server_port, "/")){
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("Websocket Connected!");
}

void loop() {

  if(client.available()){
    client.poll();
  }
  
  if(!isWebSocketConnected) return;
  
  camera_fb_t *fb = esp_camera_fb_get();
  if(!fb){

    return;
  }
  
  fb->buf[12] = 0x01; //FIRST CAM
//  fb->buf[12] = 0x02; //SECOND CAM

  client.sendBinary((const char*) fb->buf, fb->len);
  esp_camera_fb_return(fb);
}

Other failed tests with https are:

---
const char* websocket_server_host = "192.168.2.3";  
const uint16_t websocket_server_port = 443;
...
while(!client.connect(websocket_server_host, websocket_server_port, "/")){
---
const char* websocket_server_host = "192.168.2.3";  
const uint16_t websocket_server_port = 443;
...
while(!client.connect(websocket_server_host, websocket_server_port, "")){
---
const char* websocket_server_host = "192.168.2.3:443";  
// const uint16_t websocket_server_port = 443;
...
while(!client.connect(websocket_server_host)){
