Random crashes in asyncHTTPrequest::_onDisconnect about asynchttprequest HOT 4 CLOSED

I have had that problem as well. In my application, I was deleting the instance of asyncHTTPrequest after the timeout and then creating a new one for the next operation. When I stopped doing that, the problem went away. It runs for days now with no issues. I'm not inclined to try to debug this as I reached the same conclusion as you that it has to do with AsyncTCP or something below that. I had posted some questions to me-no-dev but got no response.

Right now I'm mulling over changing to using the ESP-IDF client directly to try and get HTTPS. The documentation says it only runs async for HTTPS, but I can just run in a task and let it block for HTTP. The HTTPS is more important to me. I would leave this as is an just make a new client class.

Thanks for the quick reply!

The asyncHTTPrequest is a long-living one in our case. However, there are actually two instances.
I was actually thinking of trying if recreating the instances would be more stable. Good to know that it won't.

Unfortunately, in its current state the library is not usable for us :(
I've changed the HTTP requests back to be blocking for now, but I'm really hoping that asynchronous calls will work in the future.

We do need HTTP (rather than HTTPS) though.

Did you end up getting https? I just came across this library and found https crashes it.

@julienaltieri ,
No, HTTPS is not supported. I suggest using a reverse proxy like nginx on Rpi or equivalent.
