Android Question OkHttpUtils2 v3.02 issue when POSTing / PUTing

[dazwin788]

Hi all,

(Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place- I don't post very often!)

I updated the OkHttpUtils2 internal library in B4A to v3.02 yesterday and immediately noticed some of the POSTs / PUTs in my code are timing out with a socket exception where it was fine with v3.01. As as example of code I am using:

Dim j As HttpJob
    
j.Initialize("", Me)

j.Username = "XXXXX"
j.Password = "XXXXX"

j.PostString(ServerUrl, Json.ToString)
    
Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    
Dim Success As Boolean = ProcessServerResponse(j)
        
j.Release

GETs / downloads are fine.

Switching back to v3.01 resolves the problem instantly. After a bit of investigation, it would seem that I can circumvent the problem by explicitly setting the content-type header (probably good practice anyway):

j.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")

This isn't the end of the world, but it does break some of my legacy code where the content-type isn't set. Also I am concerned there may also be other issues with this version if this is just a symptom of another problem. Has anyone else noticed this issue, or am I doing something wrong?

As I say, v3.01 works flawlessly.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not convinced that it is related to v3.02 changes. The changes have nothing to do with the behavior you are describing. Anyway, it is indeed a good practice to explicitly set the content type.

Just strange that swapping back to v3.01 (without any changes to the code at all) addresses the issue. I may be able to provide some test code/app and a server script to demonstrate but I would be reluctant to post our server URL etc on a public forum.

If content-type is required to avoid a timeout then really it should be a param in the put and post subs?

There is also no relation between the content type and any timeout you encountered.
