Miraculously I managed to boot a lot of things with iPXE whether in BIOS or UEFI mode (dnsmasq):
Starting Debian Net Installation
A small live linux / slitaz
Starting the installation of multiple versions of WIndows in tftp WIndows PE
For Windows, Windows PE transfers are a bit slow in tftp
As I noticed that the file transfer with Samba / share is much faster with my Windows machine I would like to do the same thing in http and not in tftp
Who could help me that would be very nice?
What do I need to install? a web server, nfs?
I am completely neophyte !!!
A big thank you in advance
murraydr44 -> thanks
but the http server is for the openwrt box
I recycle mechanical disks (1 TB ) connected to USB and which are no longer used because they have been replaced by SSDs !!!
i did some tests with OpenWrt but i didn't succeed !!!
I have some MiWifi D2 ( 32 Mo Flash ROM ) used for OpenWrt !!!
Sorry, so do you want just to run http server?
I do not understand, what device you have.
it is to use the OpenWrt box as an http server
--
for iPXE menu i have this:
:tftp-winpe
chain tftp://${next-server}/bootx64.efi
boot || goto failed
goto start
:http-winpe
kernel http://${http-server}/bootx64.efi
boot || goto failed
goto start
for tftp run without problem
syntax for http:server ?.
and how i test if http server run fine ?
LuCI has webserver uhttpd
Start with it.

I used the openwrt router's tftpd server option to route the ipxe boot code to a Windows XP http server on the lan. These days, I use a Bananapi M1 with SSD running either openwrt or armbian. I get about 40Mbytes/sec transfer rate using vsftpd and filezilla.
