Using the AsyncTCP.h ESPAsyncWebServer.h to enable parallel use of WebSerial

[StefanL38]

Hi s00500,

your library is fantastic. Especially since autoupdating all clients work.

I tried to combine ESPUI with WebSerial from Ayush
https://github.com/ayushsharma82/WebSerial
but driving your

dnsServer.start(DNS_PORT, "*", apIP);
in parallel with
AsyncWebServer server(80); WebSerial.begin(&server);
Does not work.
It seems logic to me that it does not work in parallel
This is the reason why I am asking how to modify your code to use the AsyncWebServer

best regards Stefan

FYI, Port 80 is used by ESPUI's webserver port. So I suggest changing your Async port number to prevent conflicts.

I got him sorted. The real issue is that he was starting TWO web servers when only one was needed. I had to expose the ESPUI web server to external code and that allowed Stefan to bind his Serial server to the ESPUI web server using a single port.
