TLS Edge of Network Range Timeout

[DorusS]

I am having issues with esp_http_client_init() when trying to connect to an access point on the edge of the network range. I am initializing connection through HTTPS and it gets stuck in this function. The watchdog does not trigger a timeout. The client config timeout does not seem to be for client init. When connecting through HTTP, I do not have this issue.
This has been seen on espidf 3.1 and 3.2 and is slightly more common in 3.1.

Any insight on this issue is appreciated.

Thanks,
DorusS
