[BUG] Impossible to enter WLAN credentials without WebUI ?

[probonopd]

Describe the bug

How can I enter my WLAN credentials?

Only after the correct index.html.gz has been uploaded.
This is cumbersome. Chicken and egg problem.
I am using my smartphone to configure ESP devices to join my WLAN network.
Once the devices are on the WLAN network, I can then use the computer to access them.

To Reproduce

1. Flash the firmware on a new ESP32-CAM
2. Power on the device
3. Using your smartphone, connect to the AP (password: 12345678 - why a password at all if everyone knows it? Unnecessary extra hassle)
4. Try to configure the device to use your real WLAN in station mode - it is impossible to do! (You would have to download index.html.gz to your smartphone and upload it from there... too cumbersome. I want to do this from my desktop PC which has no WLAN. Only Ethernet. So I need to bring the ESP device into station mode first, before I can access it from the PC.

Expected behavior

Can set WLAN SSID and password without having to upload index.html.gz first.

ESP3D Firmware:

3.0.0

To enter WLAN credentials without WebUI there are at least 2 methods:

1 - You can preset the information in configuration.h so you will directly connect to you access point at boot.

2 - You can use the direct commands using terminal tab in embedded / maintenance page

, connect to the AP (password: 12345678 - why a password at all if everyone knows it? Unnecessary extra hassle)

Because even with simple password, that I am sure not anyone knows because even on doc people ask for it ..., is still better than none and ultimatly because I decided it will be like this ^_^
