No way to tell if Exit has been pressed when using (non-)blocking startWebPortal()

Description

• This is also an issue stating that if you use startWebPortal() with blocking enabled, the sketch continues at that point and the web server is unreachable. So I turned blocking off and use process() in the loop()

After the user clicks Exit on the UI, wifiManager.getWebPortalActive() stays true, and wifiManager.getConfigPortalActive() stays false.

abort seems to be the only variable that does change in line, but it is private. I threw in a getAbort() so I could get my project working the way I intend, but hopefully these issues can be addressed in a smarter way. :)

Yeah makes sense, exit for webportal is undefined

#1353

I added a WebPortalActive=false fix, as it seemed to be missing, and should get stopped

Another workaround is to override the server->on(WM_G(R_exit), callback.

I guess the ideal solution is to add a exit callback and disable this stuff in non blocking, not sure

[tablatronix]

Another solution would be to add enum returns to process() instead of a bool.. for more useful states. I might do this anyway

Great, this seems to work! I think once I had it stuck on 0 across reboots before this patch, but a quick test did not reproduce that issue... Could be user error there.

I'll let you close the issue if you wish to use it as a marker for the process() enums.

But I had a quick question: Is there a reason the parameters can not be set in the web portal? It does not affect my use case, so I don't mind, but I was just wondering.

[tablatronix]

Not sure I understand, can you elaborate what is not working with parameters?

[nullstalgia]

When connecting to the AP from autoConnect(), the parameters appear in the Setup WiFi page.

When connecting via the local IP when using startWebPortal(), the parameters do not appear in the Setup WiFi page. I assumed this was intentional.

[tablatronix]

Are you sure its not just because your params are out of scope?

[nullstalgia]

You are 100% right. That totally went over my head.

Thanks again for the quick help and great library!
