Hi everyone, I used to use the update function without any problems, I put the link to the URL where my .bin file is located and the module used to update sketch without any problems.
Now when I trigger the OTA update I get:
Firmware update failed (error -1) : HTTP error: connection refused.
Any ideas?
What happens if you try to open the .bin file location in your browser, does it download to your PC?
If not then there’s probably a problem with your HTTP server.
Have you checked the permissions on your .bin file?
Pete.
From my browser it opens normally and it have all the read permissions. That is why I am wondering what might be happening.
@MagedNassar: Do you use a local http server? Any changes in the config of the http server or a .htaccess that does rewrites to https?
The bin file is hosted on an web hosting. I am still facing the problem and I contacted the hosting company they said everything is alright and it is not from their side!
@MagedNassar:
I’d suggest to record the http request from the ESP and reply from the server with e.g. Wireshark.
The fact that it opens from your browser does not mean that it “must” also work from the ESP.
The content of the request hearder is not identical in both cases. I.e. the reply from the server could
also differ from what the ESP OTA lib expects.
I get “connection refused” when my local raspberry hosting the server where .bin file is stored is Off. Check your link for typos, or Https.
After investigating, it takes 150ms to give me the reply of connection refused. I am 100% sure that it has nothing to do withthe destination it is trying to reach as I tried thinger.io for the same OTA update and it worked but for Blynk I think the connection is not even going out. I am not able to know why.
@MagedNassar: The easiest way to find out is to captured the network traffic - as I mentioned in my post above - and then to compare the data of the two tests.
Would be good to have the two URLs that you have tested with …
Any other programs similar to wireshark? I installed it but it seems there is a problem with the installation making it unable to start.
Wireshark installed as Admin on Windows should work. Simple user will probably not be sufficient.
Will most likely also apply for other similar tools as they access the network interfaces directly.
I know it needs admin priv but the problem is missing dll which is something i hate to deal with xD
I bought a new router, configured it, hit update and it updated without a problem. Seems like my old router had something preventing the device to connect to where I put my .bin files, not sure why but atleast now I solved it. Thanks everyone.
