libwebsockets can be built without TLS support. To allow this, it was necessary to create a specific Kconfig option that enables TLS support if OPENSSL_MBEDTLS_WRAPPER is enabled. Otherwise, TLS is not supported (but libwebsockets can still be used with plain ws:// connections). Signed-off-by: Tiago Medicci <tiago.medicci@espressif.com>
This commit enables building libwebsockets server based on a new Kconfig entry. Signed-off-by: Tiago Medicci <tiago.medicci@espressif.com>
Prior to this change, if an empty folder existed instead of the actual libwebsockets source, the build would fail. This commit checks for an actual file instead, avoid such kind of errors. Signed-off-by: Tiago Medicci <tiago.medicci@espressif.com>
