Trying to configure cotestatnt/esp-fs-webserver with username password

Projects Programming

Hi Everybody,

I have quite some experience with "standard"-programming but no experiences with the deeper specialties of C++-coding.

I'm trying to configure the esp-fs-webserver from user cotestatnt to work with username and password. This is the GiPo with the library

I looked into the headerfile
https://github.com/cotestatnt/esp-fs-webserver/blob/main/src/esp-fs-webserver.h
and the cpp-file
https://github.com/cotestatnt/esp-fs-webserver/blob/main/src/esp-fs-webserver.cpp

But I have only a dark intuition what I might have to change to get access to the website only after entering a username and a password

In the cpp-file
there are line 72 and 73

// OTA update via webbrowser
    m_httpUpdater.setup(webserver);

which calls a setup-function
So I tried to followback where this comes from but are totally unsire if I'm on the right track
the header-file
has line 28

    using UpdateServerClass = ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer;
#elif defined(ESP32)

which mentions ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer

So I tried to find this ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer
and found it on my harddisk
here
C:\Users\dipl-\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\3.0.2\libraries\ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer\src\ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.h

#ifndef __HTTP_UPDATE_SERVER_H
#define __HTTP_UPDATE_SERVER_H

#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

namespace esp8266httpupdateserver {
using namespace esp8266webserver;

template <typename ServerType>
class ESP8266HTTPUpdateServerTemplate
{
  public:
    ESP8266HTTPUpdateServerTemplate(bool serial_debug=false);

    void setup(ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *server)
    {
      setup(server, emptyString, emptyString);
    }

    void setup(ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *server, const String& path)
    {
      setup(server, path, emptyString, emptyString);
    }

    void setup(ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *server, const String& username, const String& password)
    {
      setup(server, "/update", username, password);
    }

    void setup(ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *server, const String& path, const String& username, const String& password);

    void updateCredentials(const String& username, const String& password)
    {
      _username = username;
      _password = password;
    }

  protected:
    void _setUpdaterError();

  private:
    bool _serial_output;
    ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *_server;
    String _username;
    String _password;
    bool _authenticated;
    String _updaterError;
};

};

#include "ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer-impl.h"


using ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer = esp8266httpupdateserver::ESP8266HTTPUpdateServerTemplate<WiFiServer>;

namespace BearSSL {
using ESP8266HTTPUpdateServerSecure = esp8266httpupdateserver::ESP8266HTTPUpdateServerTemplate<WiFiServerSecure>;
};

#endif

This header-file has a function setup that has parameters username and password

    void setup(ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *server, const String& username, const String& password)
    {
      setup(server, "/update", username, password);
    }

So my assuming is there is a possability to configure it to use username and password.
I have no idea what a syntax like

    void setup(ESP8266WebServerTemplate<ServerType> *server)

File root = m_filesystem->open("/", "r");

especially the "->"

How would I build a version of the cotestatnt/esp-fs-webserver that has a locked door in front of all subsites

enter username and password

to get access to it?

best regards Stefan
