More correct way to send and receive data over WiFi using HTTP between ESP8266

@StefanL38

hm I have almost no understanding of how http-post http-get work.
I do not (yet) understand what the advantage of writing medium complex code that requires to write code like server.on-event-handlers

You parsed my statement incorrectly. Read it again perhaps without the part in parentheses:

@gfvalvo

I don't see a compelling use case for having a "bare" TCP connection behave like a Stream class object.

Meaning I do see the advantage of using "bare TCP" without HTTP when you're sending data between microcontrollers and a web server is not involved. What I don't see the advantage of is making the the TCP object look like a Stream object. Here's why:

@gfvalvo

Consider that a typical application might be sending sensor data from multiple nodes to a common master (server). Such data lends itself well to being packetized. So, I'd just take advantage of TCP's already packetized nature and use the functions already provided by the AsyncClient class.
