Important Note from v1.4.0

The new v1.4.0+ has added a new and powerful feature to use LittleFS functions, such as AsyncFSWebServer

Check these new examples

Important Note from v1.2.0

The new v1.2.0+ has added a new and powerful feature to permit using CString to save heap to send very large data.

Check the marvelleous PRs of @salasidis in Portenta_H7_AsyncWebServer library

and these new examples

If using Arduino String, to send a buffer around 30 KBytes, the used Max Heap is around 75,264 bytes

If using CString in regular memory, with the same 30 KBytes, the used Max Heap is around 44,000 bytes, saving around a buffer size (30 KBytes)

This is very critical in use-cases where sending very large data is necessary, without heap-allocation-error.

The traditional function used to send Arduino String is

AsyncWebServer_RP2040W/src/AsyncWebServer_RP2040W.h

Line 414 in e98fdf0

    
           void send(int code, const String& contentType = String(), const String& content = String());

void send(int code, const String& contentType = String(), const String& content = String());

such as

request->send(200, textPlainStr, ArduinoStr);

The required additional HEAP is about 3 times of the String size

To use CString with copying while sending. Use function

AsyncWebServer_RP2040W/src/AsyncWebServer_RP2040W.h

Line 415 in e98fdf0

    
           void send(int code, const String& contentType, const char *content, bool nonDetructiveSend = true);    // RSMOD

void send(int code, const String& contentType, const char *content, bool nonDetructiveSend = true);    // RSMOD

such as

request->send(200, textPlainStr, cStr);

The required additional HEAP is also about 2 times of the CString size because of unnecessary copies of the CString in HEAP. Avoid this unefficient way.

such as

request->send(200, textPlainStr, cStr, false);

The required additional HEAP is about 1 times of the CString size. This way is the best and most efficient way to use by avoiding of unnecessary copies of the CString in HEAP

Why do we need this AsyncWebServer_RP2040W library

Features

This library is based on, modified from:

Hristo Gochkov's ESPAsyncWebServer

to apply the better and faster asynchronous feature of the powerful ESPAsyncWebServer Library into RASPBERRY_PI_PICO_W. Thus AsyncWebServer_RP2040W is part of a series of advanced Async libraries, such as AsyncTCP_RP2040W, AsyncUDP_RP2040W, AsyncWebServer_RP2040W, AsyncHTTPRequest_RP2040W, AsyncHTTPSRequest_RP2040W, etc. to be written or modified to support RASPBERRY_PI_PICO_W, using CYW43439 WiFi.

Why Async is better

Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
You are called once the request is ready and parsed
When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
Speed is OMG
Easy to use API, HTTP Basic and Digest MD5 Authentication (default), ChunkedResponse
Easily extensible to handle any type of content
Supports Continue 100
Async WebSocket plugin offering different locations without extra servers or ports
Async EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin to send events to the browser
URL Rewrite plugin for conditional and permanent url rewrites
ServeStatic plugin that supports cache, Last-Modified, default index and more
Simple template processing engine to handle templates

Download the latest release AsyncWebServer_RP2040W-main.zip.
Extract the zip file to AsyncWebServer_RP2040W-main directory
Copy the whole AsyncWebServer_RP2040W-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO:

Install VS Code
Install PlatformIO
Install AsyncWebServer_RP2040W library by using Library Manager. Search for AsyncWebServer_RP2040W in Platform.io Author's Libraries
Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File

Important things to remember

This is fully asynchronous server and as such does not run on the loop() thread.
You can not use yield() or delay() or any function that uses them inside the callbacks
The server is smart enough to know when to close the connection and free resources
You can not send more than one response to a single request

Principles of operation

The Async Web server

Listens for connections
Wraps the new clients into Request
Keeps track of clients and cleans memory
Manages Rewrites and apply them on the request url
Manages Handlers and attaches them to Requests

Request Life Cycle

TCP connection is received by the server
The connection is wrapped inside Request object
When the request head is received (type, url, get params, http version and host), the server goes through all Rewrites (in the order they were added) to rewrite the url and inject query parameters, next, it goes through all attached Handlers(in the order they were added) trying to find one that canHandle the given request. If none are found, the default(catch-all) handler is attached.
The rest of the request is received, calling the handleUpload or handleBody methods of the Handler if they are needed (POST+File/Body)
When the whole request is parsed, the result is given to the handleRequest method of the Handler and is ready to be responded to
In the handleRequest method, to the Request is attached a Response object (see below) that will serve the response data back to the client
When the Response is sent, the client is closed and freed from the memory

Rewrites and how do they work

The Rewrites are used to rewrite the request url and/or inject get parameters for a specific request url path.
All Rewrites are evaluated on the request in the order they have been added to the server.
The Rewrite will change the request url only if the request url (excluding get parameters) is fully match the rewrite url, and when the optional Filter callback return true.
Setting a Filter to the Rewrite enables to control when to apply the rewrite, decision can be based on request url, http version, request host/port/target host, get parameters or the request client's localIP or remoteIP.
The Rewrite can specify a target url with optional get parameters, e.g. /to-url?with=params

Handlers and how do they work

The Handlers are used for executing specific actions to particular requests
One Handler instance can be attached to any request and lives together with the server
Setting a Filter to the Handler enables to control when to apply the handler, decision can be based on request url, http version, request host/port/target host, get parameters or the request client's localIP or remoteIP.
The canHandle method is used for handler specific control on whether the requests can be handled and for declaring any interesting headers that the Request should parse. Decision can be based on request method, request url, http version, request host/port/target host and get parameters
Once a Handler is attached to given Request (canHandle returned true) that Handler takes care to receive any file/data upload and attach a Response once the Request has been fully parsed
Handlers are evaluated in the order they are attached to the server. The canHandle is called only if the Filter that was set to the Handler return true.
The first Handler that can handle the request is selected, not further Filter and canHandle are called.

Responses and how do they work

The Response objects are used to send the response data back to the client
The Response object lives with the Request and is freed on end or disconnect
Different techniques are used depending on the response type to send the data in packets returning back almost immediately and sending the next packet when this one is received. Any time in between is spent to run the user loop and handle other network packets
Responding asynchronously is probably the most difficult thing for most to understand
Many different options exist for the user to make responding a background task

Template processing

AsyncWebServer_RP2040W contains simple template processing engine.
Template processing can be added to most response types.
Currently it supports only replacing template placeholders with actual values. No conditional processing, cycles, etc.
Placeholders are delimited with % symbols. Like this: %TEMPLATE_PLACEHOLDER%.
It works by extracting placeholder name from response text and passing it to user provided function which should return actual value to be used instead of placeholder.
Since it's user provided function, it is possible for library users to implement conditional processing and cycles themselves.
Since it's impossible to know the actual response size after template processing step in advance (and, therefore, to include it in response headers), the response becomes chunked.

Request Variables

Common Variables

request->version();       // uint8_t: 0 = HTTP/1.0, 1 = HTTP/1.1
request->method();        // enum:    HTTP_GET, HTTP_POST, HTTP_DELETE, HTTP_PUT, HTTP_PATCH, HTTP_HEAD, HTTP_OPTIONS
request->url();           // String:  URL of the request (not including host, port or GET parameters)
request->host();          // String:  The requested host (can be used for virtual hosting)
request->contentType();   // String:  ContentType of the request (not available in Handler::canHandle)
request->contentLength(); // size_t:  ContentLength of the request (not available in Handler::canHandle)
request->multipart();     // bool:    True if the request has content type "multipart"

Headers

//List all collected headers
int headers = request->headers();
int i;

for(i=0;i<headers;i++)
{
  AsyncWebHeader* h = request->getHeader(i);
  Serial.printf("HEADER[%s]: %s\n", h->name().c_str(), h->value().c_str());
}

//get specific header by name
if(request->hasHeader("MyHeader"))
{
  AsyncWebHeader* h = request->getHeader("MyHeader");
  Serial.printf("MyHeader: %s\n", h->value().c_str());
}

//List all collected headers (Compatibility)
int headers = request->headers();
int i;

for(i=0;i<headers;i++)
{
  Serial.printf("HEADER[%s]: %s\n", request->headerName(i).c_str(), request->header(i).c_str());
}

//get specific header by name (Compatibility)
if(request->hasHeader("MyHeader"))
{
  Serial.printf("MyHeader: %s\n", request->header("MyHeader").c_str());
}

GET, POST and FILE parameters

//List all parameters
int params = request->params();

for(int i=0;i<params;i++)
{
  AsyncWebParameter* p = request->getParam(i);
  
  if(p->isFile())
  { 
    //p->isPost() is also true
    Serial.printf("FILE[%s]: %s, size: %u\n", p->name().c_str(), p->value().c_str(), p->size());
  } 
  else if(p->isPost())
  {
    Serial.printf("POST[%s]: %s\n", p->name().c_str(), p->value().c_str());
  } 
  else 
  {
    Serial.printf("GET[%s]: %s\n", p->name().c_str(), p->value().c_str());
  }
}

//Check if GET parameter exists
if(request->hasParam("download"))
  AsyncWebParameter* p = request->getParam("download");

//Check if POST (but not File) parameter exists
if(request->hasParam("download", true))
  AsyncWebParameter* p = request->getParam("download", true);

//Check if FILE was uploaded
if(request->hasParam("download", true, true))
  AsyncWebParameter* p = request->getParam("download", true, true);

//List all parameters (Compatibility)
int args = request->args();

for(int i=0;i<args;i++)
{
  Serial.printf("ARG[%s]: %s\n", request->argName(i).c_str(), request->arg(i).c_str());
}

//Check if parameter exists (Compatibility)
if(request->hasArg("download"))
  String arg = request->arg("download");

JSON body handling with ArduinoJson

Endpoints which consume JSON can use a special handler to get ready to use JSON data in the request callback:

#include "AsyncJson.h"
#include "ArduinoJson.h"

AsyncCallbackJsonWebHandler* handler = new AsyncCallbackJsonWebHandler("/rest/endpoint", [](AsyncWebServerRequest *request, JsonVariant &json) 
{
  JsonObject& jsonObj = json.as<JsonObject>();
  // ...
});

server.addHandler(handler);

  } 
  else if(p->isPost())
  {

  } 
  else 
  {
    response->printf("<li>GET[%s]: %s</li>", p->name().c_str(), p->value().c_str());
  }
}

response->print("</ul>");

response->print("</body></html>");
//send the response last
request->send(response);

ArduinoJson Basic Response

This way of sending Json is great for when the result is below 4KB

#include "AsyncJson.h"
#include "ArduinoJson.h"

AsyncResponseStream *response = request->beginResponseStream("application/json");
DynamicJsonBuffer jsonBuffer;
JsonObject &root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
root["heap"] = ESP.getFreeHeap();
root["ssid"] = WiFi.SSID();
root.printTo(*response);

request->send(response);

ArduinoJson Advanced Response

This response can handle really large Json objects (tested to 40KB)

There isn't any noticeable speed decrease for small results with the method above

Since ArduinoJson does not allow reading parts of the string, the whole Json has to be passed every time a chunks needs to be sent, which shows speed decrease proportional to the resulting json packets

#include "AsyncJson.h"
#include "ArduinoJson.h"

AsyncJsonResponse * response = new AsyncJsonResponse();
response->addHeader("Server","AsyncWebServer");
JsonObject& root = response->getRoot();
root["IP"] = Ethernet.localIP();
response->setLength();

request->send(response);

Param Rewrite With Matching

It is possible to rewrite the request url with parameter matchg. Here is an example with one parameter: Rewrite for example "/radio/{frequence}" -> "/radio?f={frequence}"

class OneParamRewrite : public AsyncWebRewrite
{
  protected:
    String _urlPrefix;
    int _paramIndex;
    String _paramsBackup;

  public:
  OneParamRewrite(const char* from, const char* to)
    : AsyncWebRewrite(from, to) 
    {

      _paramIndex = _from.indexOf('{');

      if( _paramIndex >=0 && _from.endsWith("}")) 
      {
        _urlPrefix = _from.substring(0, _paramIndex);
        int index = _params.indexOf('{');
        
        if(index >= 0) 
        {
          _params = _params.substring(0, index);
        }
      } 
      else 
      {
        _urlPrefix = _from;
      }

Usage:

server.addRewrite( new OneParamRewrite("/radio/{frequence}", "/radio?f={frequence}") );

Using filters

Filters can be set to Rewrite or Handler in order to control when to apply the rewrite and consider the handler. A filter is a callback function that evaluates the request and return a boolean true to include the item or false to exclude it.

Bad Responses

Some responses are implemented, but you should not use them, because they do not conform to HTTP. The following example will lead to unclean close of the connection and more time wasted than providing the length of the content

Respond with content using a callback without content length to HTTP/1.0 clients

//This is used as fallback for chunked responses to HTTP/1.0 Clients
request->send("text/plain", 0, [](uint8_t *buffer, size_t maxLen, size_t index) -> size_t 
{
  //Write up to "maxLen" bytes into "buffer" and return the amount written.
  //You will be asked for more data until 0 is returned
  //Keep in mind that you can not delay or yield waiting for more data!
  return mySource.read(buffer, maxLen);
});

Async WebSocket Plugin

The server includes a web socket plugin which lets you define different WebSocket locations to connect to without starting another listening service or using different port

Async WebSocket Event

void onEvent(AsyncWebSocket * server, AsyncWebSocketClient * client, AwsEventType type, void * arg, uint8_t *data, size_t len)
{
  if(type == WS_EVT_CONNECT)

      if(info->index == 0)
      {

          Serial.printf("ws[%s][%u] %s-message start\n", server->url(), client->id(), (info->message_opcode == WS_TEXT)?"text":"binary");
          
        Serial.printf("ws[%s][%u] frame[%u] start[%llu]\n", server->url(), client->id(), info->num, info->len);
      }

      Serial.printf("ws[%s][%u] frame[%u] %s[%llu - %llu]: ", server->url(), client->id(), info->num, (info->message_opcode == WS_TEXT)?"text":"binary", info->index, info->index + len);

          if(info->message_opcode == WS_TEXT)

Methods for sending data to a socket client

//Server methods
AsyncWebSocket ws("/ws");
//printf to a client
ws.printf((uint32_t)client_id, arguments...);
//printf to all clients
ws.printfAll(arguments...);
//send text to a client
ws.text((uint32_t)client_id, (char*)text);
ws.text((uint32_t)client_id, (uint8_t*)text, (size_t)len);
//send text to all clients
ws.textAll((char*)text);
ws.textAll((uint8_t*)text, (size_t)len);
//send binary to a client
ws.binary((uint32_t)client_id, (char*)binary);
ws.binary((uint32_t)client_id, (uint8_t*)binary, (size_t)len);
ws.binary((uint32_t)client_id, flash_binary, 4);
//send binary to all clients
ws.binaryAll((char*)binary);
ws.binaryAll((uint8_t*)binary, (size_t)len);
//HTTP Authenticate before switch to Websocket protocol
ws.setAuthentication("user", "pass");

//client methods
AsyncWebSocketClient * client;
//printf
client->printf(arguments...);
//send text
client->text((char*)text);
client->text((uint8_t*)text, (size_t)len);
//send binary
client->binary((char*)binary);
client->binary((uint8_t*)binary, (size_t)len);

Direct access to web socket message buffer

When sending a websocket message using the above methods a buffer is created. Under certain circumstances you might want to manipulate or populate this buffer directly from your application, for example to prevent unnecessary duplications of the data. This example below shows how to create a buffer and print data to it from an ArduinoJson object then send it.

void sendDataWs(AsyncWebSocketClient * client)
{
  DynamicJsonBuffer jsonBuffer;
  JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
  root["a"] = "abc";
  root["b"] = "abcd";
  root["c"] = "abcde";
  root["d"] = "abcdef";
  root["e"] = "abcdefg";
  size_t len = root.measureLength();
  AsyncWebSocketMessageBuffer * buffer = ws.makeBuffer(len); //  creates a buffer (len + 1) for you.
  
  if (buffer) 
  {
    root.printTo((char *)buffer->get(), len + 1);
    
    if (client) 
    {
        client->text(buffer);
    } 
    else 
    {
        ws.textAll(buffer);
    }
  }
}

Limiting the number of web socket clients

Browsers sometimes do not correctly close the websocket connection, even when the close() function is called in javascript. This will eventually exhaust the web server's resources and will cause the server to crash. Periodically calling the cleanClients() function from the main loop() function limits the number of clients by closing the oldest client when the maximum number of clients has been exceeded. This can called be every cycle, however, if you wish to use less power, then calling as infrequently as once per second is sufficient.

void loop()
{
  ws.cleanupClients();
}

Async Event Source Plugin

The server includes EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin which can be used to send short text events to the browser. Difference between EventSource and WebSockets is that EventSource is single direction, text-only protocol.

Setup Event Source on the server

AsyncWebServer server(80);
AsyncEventSource events("/events");

void setup()
{
  // setup ......
  events.onConnect([](AsyncEventSourceClient *client)
  {
    if(client->lastId())
    {
      Serial.printf("Client reconnected! Last message ID that it got is: %u\n", client->lastId());
    }
    
    //send event with message "hello!", id current millis
    // and set reconnect delay to 1 second
    client->send("hello!",NULL,millis(),1000);
  });
  
  //HTTP Basic authentication
  events.setAuthentication("user", "pass");
  server.addHandler(&events);
  // setup ......
}

void loop()
{
  if(eventTriggered){ // your logic here
    //send event "myevent"
    events.send("my event content","myevent",millis());
  }
}

Setup Event Source in the browser

if (!!window.EventSource) 
{
  var source = new EventSource('/events');

  source.addEventListener('open', function(e) 
  {
    console.log("Events Connected");
  }, false);

  source.addEventListener('error', function(e) 
  {
    if (e.target.readyState != EventSource.OPEN) 
    {
      console.log("Events Disconnected");
    }
  }, false);

  source.addEventListener('message', function(e) 
  {
    console.log("message", e.data);
  }, false);

  source.addEventListener('myevent', function(e) 
  {
    console.log("myevent", e.data);
  }, false);
}

Remove handlers and rewrites

Server goes through handlers in same order as they were added. You can't simple add handler with same path to override them. To remove handler:

// save callback for particular URL path
auto handler = server.on("/some/path", [](AsyncWebServerRequest *request){
  //do something useful
});

// when you don't need handler anymore remove it
server.removeHandler(&handler);

// same with rewrites
server.removeRewrite(&someRewrite);

server.onNotFound([](AsyncWebServerRequest *request){
  request->send(404);
});

// remove server.onNotFound handler
server.onNotFound(NULL);

// remove all rewrites, handlers and onNotFound/onFileUpload/onRequestBody callbacks
server.reset();

Methods for controlling websocket connections

// Disable client connections if it was activated
if ( ws.enabled() )
  ws.enable(false);

// enable client connections if it was disabled
if ( !ws.enabled() )
  ws.enable(true);

Adding Default Headers

In some cases, such as when working with CORS, or with some sort of custom authentication system, you might need to define a header that should get added to all responses (including static, websocket and EventSource). The DefaultHeaders singleton allows you to do this.

Example:

DefaultHeaders::Instance().addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
webServer.begin();

NOTE: You will still need to respond to the OPTIONS method for CORS pre-flight in most cases. (unless you are only using GET)

This is one option:

webServer.onNotFound([](AsyncWebServerRequest *request) 
{
  if (request->method() == HTTP_OPTIONS) 
  {
    request->send(200);
  } 
  else 
  {
    request->send(404);
  }
});

Path variable

With path variable you can create a custom regex rule for a specific parameter in a route. For example we want a sensorId parameter in a route rule to match only a integer.

server.on("^\\/sensor\\/([0-9]+)$", HTTP_GET, [] (AsyncWebServerRequest *request) 
{
    String sensorId = request->pathArg(0);
});

NOTE: All regex patterns starts with ^ and ends with $

To enable the Path variable support, you have to define the buildflag -DASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX.

For Arduino IDE create/update platform.local.txt:

Windows: C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\{xxxx}\hardware\xxxx\{version}\platform.local.txt

Linux: ~/.arduino15/packages/{xxxx}/hardware/{xxxx}/{version}/platform.local.txt

Add/Update the following line:

compiler.cpp.extra_flags=-DDASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX

For platformio modify platformio.ini:

[env:myboard]
build_flags = 
  -DASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX

NOTE: By enabling ASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX, <regex> will be included. This will add an 100k to your binary.

You can access the AsyncWebServer_RP2040W at the displayed server IP, e.g. 192.168.2.128

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level _RP2040W_AWS_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4 in the library cpp files

#define _RP2040W_AWS_LOGLEVEL_     1

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of Arduino IDE, the Arduino arduino-pico core or depending libraries.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the arduino-pico core to the latest version because I'm always using the latest cores /libraries.
