HTTPS functionality with ESP32-CAM

[boylucky]

Hello,
please can I ask a question if there is any possibility or some simple modification of your http server code to enable HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP? I guess it will be probably quite complicated to achive it, but better to ask you. My current aim is to use Screen Wake Lock API to disable the mobile phone going to sleep or saving mode which I need for correct functionality of the opened web page from ESP32-CAM http server. The screen lock functionality is not allowed with http protocol for security reasons. I already tried to use a couple of thoughts like redirect the page to https with the script for screen lock on the internet and then back to ESP32-CAM http server but it automaticaly disable the screen lock when redirected back to http. Same if I include the script like example<script src="https://abc.io/screen_lock.js"> in http request. Nothing works. So I was thinking about next option to somehow modify the ESP32-CAM http server to serve https requests. Do you think it would be quite hard to achive such functionality? Any idea will be appreciated. Thank you.

This firmware supports ssl:

You can try this:

as an example for your https server.

Please also see here:

for problems with self-signed certificates.

I don't know if these will help, https needs more RAM to run. Please use a small image size.
