Captive Web Server

Simple MicroPython web server for serving a website from a captive portal (Generally meant for an ESP8266 Device)

• Copy the application file captive_http.py to the root of an ESP8266 device running a recent version of MicroPython
• Create a directory on your file system called /wwwroot
• Place the capture.html file along with the rest of your content including an index.html file
• The script does not setup the AP (Type help() at the REPL prompt for information on this)
  • The script however assumes that it is acting as an AP
  • Make sure the DNS server is set to 192.168.4.1
  • See https://github.com/joewez/ESP8266-WiFi-Utilities
• Simply import the script to run the server (or import it in your main.py)

>>> import wifi
>>> wifi.access_point('tester', 'password', dns=True)
>>> import captive_http()
