ESP32DevelopmentBoard.ino does not connect

[kfine100]

Hi, I copied the script ESP32DevelopmentBoard.ino to run on an ESP32 Dev board under PlatformIO. It fails with the error:

.[E][WiFiClientSecure.cpp:127] connect(): start_ssl_client: -1

A quick web search found this solution: espressif/arduino-esp32#4992

The corrected connect() looks like this

void connect() {
Serial.print("checking wifi...");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print(".");
delay(1000);
}

Serial.print("\nconnecting...");
net.setInsecure();
while (!client.connect("Arduino", "public", "public")) {
Serial.print(".");
delay(1000);
}

with the extra "net.setInsecure()" call it now connects. I don't understand why it needs to be Insecure, but there it is.

All the best, Kevin

Sorry, in above I meant to say the ESP32DevelopmentBoardSecure script.
