Out of sockets error

When testing and debugging, after a while to http server code fails to start with an out of sockets error.

This happens after a number of uploads from the web ide.

I believe it is due to the old http server sessions not shutting down properly.

I have my board set up so it auto joins my local wifi.

At the moment I just hit the reset button on the board, and re upload, however it would be handy to shutdown the connections cleanly. Can this be down with an E.event on after a .reset?

Wifi.disconnect and wifi.connect() does do the job, however it would be great if an event could trigger.

I'm heard this before, will have to investigate. Does this capture your issue: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/809 ?

I've seen the same behavior. It isn't consistent - sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. But lots of uploads from the webide which create a server seems to be key.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
