I found that the original code consistently crashed my ESP32 Dev Board with a 'Guru Meditation Error'. When I looked into the code, I saw that it tried to read a string from the server before anything was available, causing the crash. By guarding the read statement with a 'while' loop that waited for client.available() to return a non-zero result (or for the max loop counter to expire), I was able to get reliable performance.
