Simon,

If I was not clear, my apologies... lots of RAM due to the use of SSL and not 
LwIP


BR,

Noam.

First of all the code is still in development and secondly you need lots of RAM.

That "lots of RAM" is a limitation of TLS, not a limitation of mbed TLS or how 
lwIP uses it.
That code is still not finished though. And I have to come up with RAM/ROM 
numbers once it is finished...

Anyway, for devices where HTTPS is only one out of many services, that usage is 
far from ideal as it encrypts/decrypts data in the tcpip_thread. And during 
potentially slow/long encrypt/decrypt phases, nothing else can be done in lwIP 
(e.g. no packet processing, no ping, no ACKs...). A socket or netconn-based 
server might be a better idea for some...
