I have an ESP32 application that uses a web server as a user interface. For auditing and debugging during development I use Serial; however, that is impractical in the installed system. So, I decided to use Telnet (TCP/IP) to monitor what is happening when Serial is impractical.

The issue is that once a TCP/IP session has been established, when a HTTP request is received, the TCP/IP session is aborted.

I have reproduced the issue in a minimal sketch here:

#include "Arduino.h"
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <WebServer.h>
WiFiClient telnetClient;
WebServer server(80);
WiFiServer telnetServer(23);
void telnetPrint(const char* text)
{
 if (telnetClient)
 {
 telnetClient.print(text);
 }
}
void telnetPrintln(const char *text)
{
 telnetPrint(text);
 telnetPrint("\r\n");
}
void _print(const char* text)
{
 Serial.print(text);
 telnetPrint(text);
}
void _println(const char* text)
{
 Serial.println(text);
 telnetPrintln(text);
}
void _println(IPAddress myIP)
{
 char rgIPTxt[32];
 sprintf(rgIPTxt,"%u.%u.%u.%u",myIP[0],myIP[1],myIP[2],myIP[3]);
 _println(rgIPTxt);
}
const char *rootFmt="\
<html>\
 <head>\
 <title>Test</title>\
 </head>\
 <body>\
 <h1>Test</h1>\
 <div>\
 <h2>Heap size=%d<br><br>\
 </div>\
 </body>\
</html>\
";
char rootMessage[1024];
void updateRootMessage()
{
 _println("updateRoot");
 snprintf(rootMessage, sizeof(rootMessage), rootFmt,
 heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_8BIT)
 );
}
void handleRoot() 
{
 _println("Entered handleRoot");
 updateRootMessage();
 server.send(200, "text/html", rootMessage);
 _println("Leaving handleRoot");
}
void wifiSTASetup(const char*ssid, const char*password)
{
 WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
 WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
 telnetServer.begin();
 telnetClient=telnetServer.available();
 _println("");
 // Wait for connection
 while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) 
 {
 delay(500);
 _print(".");
 }
 _println("");
 _print("Connected to ");
 _println(ssid);
 _print("IP address: ");
 _println(WiFi.localIP());
 server.on("/", handleRoot);
 server.begin();
}
#define BAND 915E6
void setup() 
{
 Serial.begin(115200);
 wifiSTASetup("your ssid", "your password");
}
void loop() 
{
 server.handleClient();
 if (!telnetClient)
 {
 telnetClient=telnetServer.available();
 if (telnetClient)
 {
 _println("telnetClient obtained");
 }
 }
}
