I have a code which does download updates available from a http site. I am asked to change the site address to a new one. this time, the site is https. how can I change my code to update my ESP with the file in this new address?

I'm sure you are all familiar with this code but I update it for you.

Code: Select allvoid update_esp()
{
  Serial.println("update_esp ==>");
  if ((WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED)) {

    Serial.println("Checking Update...");
    String file_add = esp_update_host +  esp_update_filename;
    Serial.printf("update address: ");
    Serial.println(file_add);
    t_httpUpdate_return ret = ESPhttpUpdate.update(file_add.c_str());

    switch (ret) {
      case HTTP_UPDATE_FAILED:
        Serial.printf("HTTP_UPDATE_FAILD Error (%d): %s", ESPhttpUpdate.getLastError(), ESPhttpUpdate.getLastErrorString().c_str());
        Serial.println();
        break;

      case HTTP_UPDATE_NO_UPDATES:
        Serial.println("HTTP_UPDATE_NO_UPDATES");
        break;

      case HTTP_UPDATE_OK:
        Serial.println("HTTP_UPDATE_OK");
        break;
    }
  }

}

All well and good but my server updates the certificate every year and if yours is the same you will need to change the code every year as well.
I have an https site but use a http add on for my downloads.

thanks for your answer. can you be more specific to what should I do? what should I write? where should I write?
do you have a sample code which actually works for you?
I have the certificate and the fingerprint. how should I use them?

Code: Select allhttp.begin("https://mysite.com/climate/status.php?id=1","55 25 65 47 85 7C 63 CD HH 08 62 57 B5 13 65 FF FF C0 FF 9E FG");
