"After 5 HTTP requests the microcontroller restarts"

Postby jakarman12 » Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:36 pm

Hi guys, I'm stuck with an issue that I ran into while testing the esp_http_client component. can you help me please? :(

HW: ESP32-DevKitC
IDF Version: v4.2-238-g8cd16b60f
Problem: After 5 HTTP requests the microcontroller restarts.
Description: I require a task that every 5 seconds send a POST request to a Rest API, I am using the example of esp_http_client and I deleted everything that I do not need, the program after sending 5 requests restarts and marks the error shown below .

Your output_len variable is defined static and does not reset to 0 when you start a new http request.

hi @ESP_Sprite

I have already reviewed what you tell me, but the static variable is necessary since the handler could be entered more than once for each request ... what I did notice is that the output_len variable never became 0 (something that you also mentioned to me ). I already searched and apparently it is a bug that has already been fixed in new versions, I add the commit where the correction is made.
