Problem connecting to WiFi - spurious %0D%0A?

[jruys]

Could not get code to connect to WiFi, got timeout error - I noticed it called this URL:

https://192.168.1.1/connect?ssid=%0D%0AMySSID&pass=MyPASS

Changed URL to remove %0D%0A, rebooted clock, called URL again and then WiFi connected ok.

That's strange behavior, for sure. What device and browser are you using? -Frank

Using Elekstube IPS 6.1.11, your pre-compiled binary and Chrome, both on iPad and MacBook.

Haven't tested other browsers - will do that next time I load the software (went back to stock as I couldn't get it to sync and ran out of time).

Your solution worked for me too. I am using Brave on Android 6.0.1.

Seems like I should change the code to remove the Carriage Return and Line Feed characters (%OD%OA) automatically. These are being sent from the HTML form. I will make the change if I hear no objections. Thanks @bbilson2 and @jruys

Had the same problem, fixed removing %0D%0A from the url.

Thanks @wolfallein. I may have time in the end of December to update the source code and rebuild the binary firmware file. Right now I'm heads down on the Reflections project. Thanks for your help and support. -Frank

replace:
res->println( "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ssid\" value=\"" );

by

res->print( "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ssid\" value=\"" );

The println adds the new line inside the form field.
