Hello Need help with wifi management code

Hello
This code is for managing Wi-Fi. And when ESP is not defined for Wi-Fi, it goes into hotspot mode and the web console is accessible with IP 192.168.4.1. And when you enter the console, you will see the list of Wi-Fi. But the scan part is not working properly, I want the Wi-Fi list to be refreshed when the scan button is pressed.
Thank you for your guidance.

      server.send(statusCode, "application/json", content);

  } 
}

the scan needs to start STA mode and go over all channels. the SoftAP can't work when channels are changing

may be you could use GitHub - tzapu/WiFiManager: ESP8266 WiFi Connection manager with web captive portal
