## Implemented Optimizations
### Improvement for /directory
Implemented a backpressure-safe, low-heap HTML streaming solution to prevent AsyncTCP cbuf resize OOM during /directory.
Root cause
- The previous implementation used AsyncResponseStream (a Print) and wrote faster than the TCP stack could drain. Under client/network backpressure, AsyncTCP’s cbuf tried to grow and failed: cbuf.resize() -> WebResponses write(): Failed to allocate.
Fix implemented
- Switched /directory to AsyncChunkedResponse with a stateful generator that only produces bytes when the TCP layer is ready.
- Generates one entry at a time, respecting maxLen provided by the framework. This prevents buffer growth and heap spikes.
- No yield() needed; backpressure is handled by the chunked response callback scheduling.
Code changes
1. Added a tiny accessor to fetch file id at index
- Header: src/DirectoryNode.h
- Added: uint16_t getFileIdAt(size_t i) const;
- Source: src/DirectoryNode.cpp
- Implemented: uint16_t DirectoryNode::getFileIdAt(size_t i) const { return (i < ids.size()) ? ids[i] : 0; }
2. Replaced /directory handler with AsyncChunkedResponse generator
- File: src/main.cpp
- New logic (high level):
- DirectoryHtmlStreamState holds an explicit traversal stack of frames {node, fileIdx, childIdx, headerDone}.
- next(buffer, maxLen) fills output up to maxLen with:
- Single top-level \n
- A name\n for non-root directories (kept original behavior—no nested per subdir)
- One filename\n per file
- Depth-first traversal across subdirectories
- Closes with \n when done
- Uses snprintf into the chunk buffer and a simple copy loop for filenames, avoiding extra heap allocations.
- Frees generator state when finished and also on client disconnect.
3. Minor improvements in the chunked generator
- Normalized newline literals to \n (not escaped).
- Used single quotes around HTML attribute values to simplify C string escaping and reduce mistakes.
What remains unchanged
- DirectoryNode::streamDirectoryHTML(Print&) is left intact but no longer used by /directory. Mapping/State endpoints continue using their existing streaming; they are small and safe.
Why this eliminates the crashes
- AsyncChunkedResponse only invokes the generator when there’s space to send more, so AsyncTCP’s cbuf won’t grow unbounded. The generator respects the maxLen and yields 0 on completion, eliminating the resize path that previously caused OOM.
Build and flash instructions
- Your environment doesn’t have PlatformIO CLI available. Options:
1. VSCode PlatformIO extension: Use the “Build” and “Upload” tasks from the PlatformIO toolbar.
2. Install PlatformIO CLI:
- python3 -m pip install --user platformio
- $HOME/.local/bin must be in PATH (or use full path).
- Then build: pio run -e d1_mini32
- Upload: pio run -e d1_mini32 -t upload
3. Arduino IDE/CLI: Import and build the sketch there if preferred.
Runtime test checklist
- Open serial monitor at 115200, reset device.
- Hit [](http://DEVICE_IP/directory)<http://DEVICE_IP/directory> in a browser; the page should render fully without OOM or crash.
- Simulate slow client backpressure:
- curl --limit-rate 5k [](http://DEVICE_IP/directory)<http://DEVICE_IP/directory> -v -o /dev/null
- Observe no “[E][cbuf.cpp:104] resize(): failed to allocate temporary buffer” or “WebResponses write(): Failed to allocate”
- Watch heap logs during serving; you should see stable heap with no large dips.
- If desired, repeat with multiple concurrent connections to /directory to verify robustness.
Optional follow-ups
- If mapping ever grows large, convert /mapping to AsyncChunkedResponse using the same pattern.
- If your ESP32 has PSRAM, enabling it can further reduce heap pressure, but the chunked approach is already robust.
- Consider enabling CONFIG_ASYNC_TCP_MAX_ACK_TIME tune if you want more aggressive backpressure timing; your platformio.ini already has some AsyncTCP stack tweaks noted.
Summary
- Replaced Print-based recursive streaming with a chunked, backpressure-aware generator for /directory.
- This removes the cbuf resize failure path and should stop the crashes you observed while still using minimal heap.
### 2. DirectoryNode Structure Optimization (✅ COMPLETED)
- **Added vector reserve calls** in `buildDirectoryTree()` to reduce heap fragmentation
- **Memory saved**: Reduces fragmentation and improves allocation efficiency
