Is your feature request related to a problem?

I've found an information that a https server feature will be added in next major release:
#3902 (comment)

I see that there are some files deep in folders, like this esp_https_server header file.

But to be honest, I'm pretty lost. Is this feature ready yet, and are there any examples how to use it?

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to know if there are any examples available.
Like those pretty examples for standard http server.

Thanks a lot for any clue!

It is not available yet.
I think it may be added to the Arduino Core 3.0.0, that will be ready some time in 2023 - maybe along first half.

Thanks a lot!
So there is a bad situation now, when trying to create a project with https server.
Official arduino-esp32 is only http not https, and best known alternative from: https://github.com/fhessel/esp32_https_server
is based on opensll, which will be removed in next major esp-idf tools release and the library probably won't be rewritten (it is quiet abandoned).

Arduino may use IDF for HTTPS as described in the IDF ESP HTTPS SERVER documentation.

An IDF example can be found at https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/edd815af2e/examples/protocols/https_server

@PilnyTomas Can you please help with triage? Thanks

I have nothing special to add. The IDF example works. It should be possible to copy them to our code base so it is more accessible to our users, but implementing a pretty Arduino-like API is in my opinion a low-priority feature request.
Espressif code is open source and anyone is welcome to contribute. If you are comfortable with it, I would like to ask you to implement this and open a PR.
