Last exercise "
Arduino + ESP8266 - a simpe web server response with HTML" use a simple approach to find the "+IPD" in the income stream. But if fail to detect it, the buffer will not be updated, it will stop and need restart. It's another approach using readBytesUntil() to load the data to another buffer, and find "+IPD" programmatically using strncmp(). Such that if fail to detect "+IPD", it still can work for next connection.
In order to know the pattern of "+IPD" and the connection id in the incoming stream, I make a test program to show it in Serial Monitor, refer to the bottom of this post.

NOTICE:In my test, sometimes the ESP8266 ESP-12 reset and show the vendor website. It's caused by the pre-load old firmware, to fix it, flash ESP8266 with new firmware. Refer to my next exercise with the updated firmware 00200.9.5(b1).
To know the "+IPD" and the connection id, I prepare this simple program to show the incoming data on Serial Monitor, without response back to the client.
