- Wed May 20, 2015 4:10 am #17937 The memory became more and more less every time when ESP received require sent from a web until it reset.It seems that it dosen't relaese the memory after server.handleClient()?

My test program is simple.ESP works as a webserver and when it receive require,it sends the sizes of free heap via serial port.

Anyone has idea of it?

Thanks millions!

But... ...if You wait a bit (30-60 seconds), You will see that The Heap returns to its original size.

Is there a timer after 30-60 seconds, a garbage collector mechanism ?
