ESP8266 non-OS has very limited stack - only 4K. Undetected stack overflows cause nasty bugs and it turns out serving files over http routinely causes stack overflow. This was exposed by https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose-os/commit/a5f59123edcfef10c351b3e679f28720b5de9611 As a short-term workaround, push http_message into bss, this is enough as an immediate workaround. Longer term, we need to think how to bring 8266 to parity with other platforms where we have at least 8K stack. At the same time, get rid of the compiler bug workaround - modern toolchain doesn't need this.
Mongoose - Embedded Web Server / Embedded Networking Library
Mongoose is ideal for embedded environments. It has been designed for connecting devices and bringing them online. On the market since 2004, used by vast number of open source and commercial products - it even runs on the International Space station! Mongoose makes embedded network programming fast, robust, and easy.
Connectivity is vital for software and embedded devices, but there are many pitfalls to consider when embedding a web server. This white paper breaks down on the top 9 things to avoid when embedding a web server.
