Hashtag in SSID wont connect about esp32-cam_mjpeg2sd HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem is that # is a special URI char.
As an interim in prefs.cpp, try changing:
else if (!strcmp(variable, "ST_SSID")) strncpy(ST_SSID, value, MAX_HOST_LEN-1);
with:
else if (!strcmp(variable, "ST_SSID")) strncpy(ST_SSID, "Smart Devices #1234", MAX_HOST_LEN-1);

Not tested though as dont have access to an esp32 right now

from esp32-cam_mjpeg2sd.

Also do have allow white spaces in config

from esp32-cam_mjpeg2sd.

Thanks for the input,

After some tinkering I found a workaround :
Used old phone to setup Hotspot AP with no hashtag in name
Connected the ESP to the Hotspot
From Hotspot phone I could access the webUI
From here I could change the WiFi SSID settings to Smart Devices #1234

After restart it connected to the Smart Devices #1234 AP

Slightly longer onboard proces, but not to painful and no code tinkering needed

from esp32-cam_mjpeg2sd.

should be fixed in v9.7.1

from esp32-cam_mjpeg2sd.
