If I make a POST request to my server and it returns status 204 'No Content' the very next httprequest I make crashes IOS with a libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type char *const.

It looks almost as if a buffer is not being allocated if result is anything other that 200?

I can forward a small test program if you don't have access to a server that returns values other that 200 'Ok'?

A small test program would certainly help a lot - if you can post it here, even better as someone else might pickup the problem.

Ok, I modified bananas/mak/httprequest demo and aren't getting a crash.

The testpostserver used by the demo allows you to 'rig' a non-200 return code - code is:

Import mojo

Import brl.httprequest

Class MyApp Extends App Implements IOnHttpRequestComplete

	Field post_req:HttpRequest
	
	Method OnHttpRequestComplete:Void( req:HttpRequest )
	
		Print "Http POST complete!"

		Print "Status="+req.Status()
		Print "ResponseText="+req.ResponseText()

		post_req=Null
	End

	Method StartReq()
	
		post_req=New HttpRequest( "POST","http://posttestserver.com/post.php?status_code=204",Self )
		
		post_req.Send "Hello World!"
			
	End
		
	Method OnCreate()

		StartReq
			
		SetUpdateRate 60
	End
	
	Method OnUpdate()

		UpdateAsyncEvents
		
		If TouchHit( 0 ) And Not post_req StartReq
	End

	Method OnRender()
	
		Cls
		
		If post_req
			DrawText "Http POST bytes received="+post_req.BytesReceived(),0,0
		Else
			DrawText "Click to make request",0,0
		Endif

	End	
End

Function Main()

	New MyApp

End

Mark, thank you for this example. I can confirm it runs correctly on my iPad. When I change the server address back to my own there is still a problem. Thank you again for confirming there is no problem with the monkey side of things!
