Uhttpd does not listen on port 443

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Running openwrt on an Xiaomi AX3000t.
uhttp does not listen on port 443:
root@ax3000t:~# netstat -tulpen
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 19290/uhttpd

tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 19290/uhttpd
tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1762/dropbear

This is my configuration:

root@ax3000t:~# cat /etc/config/uhttpd

config uhttpd 'main'
list listen_http '0.0.0.0:80'
list listen_http '[::]:80'

option script_timeout '60'
option network_timeout '30'

option key_type 'ec'
option bits '2048'

What am I missing?

Did you install the luci-ssl package ?

No, luci-ssl is not installed.
After installing https works.
Thanks for the fast help.

I’m also running an MT6000 with openwrt,
even no luci-ssl installed but http/443 works out of the box.
Weird :man_shrugging:

What version of OpenWrt?

5

OpenWrt 24.10.5, r29087-d9c5716d1d

6

And is that the same version as the Xiaomi?

(If you don't want to provide details, just disregard.)

It is not about exactly the luci-ssl itself, as that is just a meta package, selecting other packages. It installs one of the libustream variants, and that (and the corresponding SSL library) is needed for HTTPS with uhttpd.
However, libustream-mbedtls should be installed by default, unless you explicitly remove it (or replace it with libustream-openssl).

Ok, blame on me :see_no_evil_monkey:
Xiaomi is running 25.12.0-rc3
After downgrading to 24.10.5, 443 works even without luci-ssl
Thanks for your help!
