ArduinoOTA stops working together with ESP8266WebServer (Generic 512k no SPIFFS)

[reaper7]

when I try to add WebServer to BasicOTA example then OTA stops working (Generic 512k no SPIFFS).
I add only (before setup):

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
#include <ArduinoOTA.h>

#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

ESP8266WebServer server(80); 

serial console messages when I try upload via OTA:

your sketch becomes too large and there is no space to write the new one.
OTA is really intended for larger Flash chips. 512K is way not enough :)

seems to be true :)

this is bad news, because OTA could be good solution for some devices like esp-05 (only with rx+tx pins) where programming is little difficult.
I have few esp-05, so...maybe changing flash ic's is last chance for them.
BTW...is any good and tested type of bigger flash memory?

any 25Q compatible chip should do :) i bought some 8MB Winbond chips that I use (up to 4MB of them).

[reaper7]

bought W25Q32 :)
tnx!
close!

I only notice that
with latest release size of final sketch is OK:)
