Can't configure a SSID with spaces in the Network Settings

[superfino]

Unfortunately I can't change my Network Settings in the menu. Tried to set a SSID with a space charakter doesn't work. The space character becomes replaced by %20 what I can see when I connect to the AP. Is there anything special when using a space character in a SSID. Any help will be appreciated.

I never tested SSIDs with space characters. We need to convert html special characters back to the original string near line 299 of app_httpd.c

Is there an existing ESP-IDF function to do this? I can't seem to find one in the http_parser.h file

From stackoverflow:

Section 7.3.2.1 of the 802.11-2007 specification (http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.11-2007.pdf) defines SSIDs.

A valid SSID is 0-32 octets with arbitrary contents. A 0-length SSID indicates the wildcard SSID (in probe request frames for instance).

There's no character set associated with the SSID - a 32-byte string of NUL-bytes is a valid SSID.

This implies:

    - you should never use normal string functions when manipulating generic SSIDs (strcpy() and friends).

    - you should not assume that the SSID is printable when, for instance, logging it to disk

Thank you for your clarification. It sounds that there is actually no solution or circumvention when i understand you right.

I think this one needs to be fixed.
