You need either to allow plain HTTP in your Web Hosting instead of HTTPS, or doing some change to ESP8266HTTPClient/ESP8266httpUpdate classes to allow HTTPS connections. The former is probably the easiest way ...

Exactly. I only use HTTP.

Thanks PeteKnight & martinayotte
I note to use http , but why in the httpUpdate example code we can chose http or https ? :


if i change https to http i got this error :


000webhost.com is under https so how use it with http or transform to http ?

Nope ! This line commented out is there since initial commit in Nov 2015, but probably left here unintentionally, probably Links2004 was doing a test, but he forgot to remove this line before his commit.

hello
I would like to know if this http update would be applicable using esp8266 module and arduino nano

thank you
