Connecting to AWS IoT is taking for ever with ESP32

Finally working. I have followed the instructions in the following links to make it work. https://exploreembedded.com/wiki/AWS_IOT_with_Arduino_ESP32 https://exploreembedded.com/wiki/Secure_IOT_with_AWS_and_Hornbill_ESP32

I don't have a DTH11 sensor so I commented it out and tried it and it worked fine.
