WiFiManager auto connect and start a http web server

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  //Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
  //WiFiManager
  //Local intialization. Once its business is done, there is no need to keep it around
  WiFiManager wifiManager;
  //reset saved settings
  wifiManager.resetSettings();

  //fetches ssid and pass from eeprom and tries to connect
  //if it does not connect it starts an access point with the specified name
  //here  "AutoConnectAP"
  //and goes into a blocking loop awaiting configuration
  //wifiManager.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP");
  //or use this for auto generated name ESP + ChipID
  wifiManager.autoConnect();


  //if you get here you have connected to the WiFi
  Serial.println("connected...yeey :)");
  
  server.reset(new ESP8266WebServer(WiFi.localIP(), 80));

  server->on("/", handleRoot);

  server->on("/inline", []() {
    server->send(200, "text/plain", "this works as well");
  });

  server->onNotFound(handleNotFound);

  server->begin();
  Serial.println("HTTP server started");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  server->handleClient();
}

When I use the configuration with the network name and password the webserver does not open the pages anymore and the homepage always opens the configuration page.
Ex: wifiManager.autoConnect("ACCESSPOINTNAME" , "ACCESSPOINTPASSWORD");
Can you solve it?

Could you add an example of how to handle POST request or QUERYSTRING?

Whats is the way to use httpUpdateServer with std::unique_ptr server definition ??

One thing that works for me if you have the ability to use port other than 80 is to use different port for every server.

This works great! However if I power down the ESP and power it back up again it starts the process completely over again where i have to go through the process of connecting my phone setting up/selecting the SSID and entering in my password. How do you keep it from trying to run the set up ever time it's powered down and back up again.

Do you have a similar example running on ESP32?
