ESP32 OTA firmware update using compressed firmware image over HTTP (s) / MQTT (s)

ESP32 OTA over 2G links kept timing out, so I push compressed firmware images over HTTP(s)/MQTT(s) instead – smaller, and far more reliable.

OTA firmware update resume feature
TODO research feasibility of OTA firmware update 'resume' feature; will pick-up from where last OTA stopped receiving the firmware, so, in case of failed OTA, it will resume from where we left off #esp32 #esp8266 #iot
Compressed binary OTA firmware update for ESP32
Testing compressed binary OTA firmware update for #ESP32, similar to http://esptool.py's serial flash compression. Speeds up OTA by reducing the size of the image transfer over a sometimes unreliable/slow internet connection.. works over HTTPS and MQTTS #IoT
ESP32 OTA firmware update using MQTT over SSL

How my ESP32 nodes do OTA firmware updates over MQTT with SSL – a firmware notifications topic tells them when a new version is out.
