#358 i needed some time, but it's obvious:

There is no webserver (in means of HTTP) running in the IoT example. It only provides some JSON endpoint who can be read/written by a e.g. java script in a browser.

it looks like the folks at espressif had some "inspiration" for their json module from the "Contiki operating system" as this is statedin some source files. Maybe this can help to close some binary blob filled holes properly :)

sorry for the hassle!

#492 Here's a web demo I put together using Google App Engine for a visual: http://i.imgur.com/ecIRovH.gif

The webpage posts the value of the slider to a form which updates the value in the data store. My ESP8266 system polls the backend of the website periodically and reads that value back out and sets the brightness of the LED accordingly.
