the parameters to peform an HTTP request by the HTTP(S)+JSON power meter
have been generalized by introducing a new config struct. this is now
used for all values which the HTTP(S)+JSON power meter can retrieve, and
also used by the HTTP+SML power meter implementation. we anticipate that
other feature will use this config as well.
generalizing also allows to share serialization and deserialization
methods in the configuration handler and the web API handler, leading to
de-duplication of code and reduced flash memory usage.
a new web UI component is implemented to manage a set of HTTP request
settings.
This directory is intended for project header files.
A header file is a file containing C declarations and macro definitions
to be shared between several project source files. You request the use of a
header file in your project source file (C, C++, etc) located in `src` folder
by including it, with the C preprocessing directive `#include'.
```src/main.c
#include "header.h"
int main (void)
{
...
}
```
Including a header file produces the same results as copying the header file
into each source file that needs it. Such copying would be time-consuming
and error-prone. With a header file, the related declarations appear
in only one place. If they need to be changed, they can be changed in one
place, and programs that include the header file will automatically use the
new version when next recompiled. The header file eliminates the labor of
finding and changing all the copies as well as the risk that a failure to
find one copy will result in inconsistencies within a program.
In C, the usual convention is to give header files names that end with `.h'.
It is most portable to use only letters, digits, dashes, and underscores in
header file names, and at most one dot.
