Any chance of supporting BearSSL in the future? It would be nice to be able to use like BearSSL::WiFiClientSecure connection; to facilitate things like MQTT with SSL CA cert.

I admit I am ignorant on the subject, it is possible, can you provide an example ?

I mean wifimanager manages your wifi connection, what does this really have to do with that?

I realize now WifiManager also doesn't work with PubSubClient (for MQTT) so I've had to use the workaround here: https://github.com/CurlyWurly-1/ESP8266-WIFIMANAGER-MQTT/blob/master/MQTT_with_WiFiManager.ino

(I dropped using SSL too for the time being until I get the example above working. FYI use the 5.x ArduinoJson library or you'll have to rewrite the whole thing for 6.x.

I'm not really a C++ expert, but I think BearSSL needs to be able to scope to WifiManager in the same was as WifiClientSecure to be able to work with the connection parameters.

Yeah no idea what is up with pubsubclient, it should work, I think people are just not including stuff properly. I might take a look at that one day.

Still not sure I get it, you want wifimanager to be ssl ? Or you want to be able to use wificlientsecure in your program, I do not see why you cannot use both..

@quarterturn I think the issuu is incorrect. WifiManager is WebServer and you ask for HTTPS client support.
Maybe there is any library compiling conflicts?

I use BearSSL with WifiManager:
http & https: https://github.com/dontsovcmc/waterius/blob/master/ESP8266/src/WateriusHttps.cpp
wifimanager: https://github.com/dontsovcmc/waterius/blob/master/ESP8266/src/setup_ap.cpp
