How to add simply authorization to web server
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2019 3:29 pmI built a wifi garage door opener using ESP01 based on what described here https://www.instructables.com/id/Smart-Phone-WiFi-Controlled-Garage-Door-Opener-Wit/. It works fine over my home local net. However, since I want to access it over internet, I would like to add some simple authorization such as login with password. I found quite a few examples on the web. For example like this one https://github.com/esp8266/ESPWebServer/commit/c67fb968ed41de35dfaf5eab9404ca1cce281648. They all work fine for performing the function of login using password. However, I don't know how to modify the code so that once authenticated, I can execute the garaging opening function. I think it should not be difficult but I just cannot figure it out. Can someone help? Really appreciated!
