Multiple clients connected to server on port 80
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2020 2:53 pmUsing NodeMCU 2.2.1 (Lua) on an ESP8266-12F
- I am creating a server and listening on port 80 for HTTP GET requests
- I then respond to a 'Connection Upgrade' from a client and then act as a Websocket server
This all works very well
My question is, can I serve more than 1 client simultaneously (from a web browser) on the same port?
I know that I can listen on multiple ports, like 80 and 81, and handle multiple GET requests / Websocket connections that way, but I would like to serve an HTTP request AND a Websocket client on the same port (80).
Currently, a HTTP GET request 'overwrites' a currently connected Websocket client, as you'd expect.
Please can you advise? Thankyou
