Hi

Please bear with me, I'm completely new in this ESP32 world.

I'm trying to make a very simple HTTP request from my ESP32 towards a webserver is running on a Raspberry Pi running Win 10 IOT, I have been banging my head for several hours and days trying to solve my problem below.

In most cases the code succeeds getting a response as expected, but when I call http.end() it crashes, sometimes with Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (InstrFetchProhibited), other times with (LoadProhibited).

If I instead use any other URLs instead of my own webserver, everything works fine.
When I test the URL of my Raspberry PI webserver with a normal internet browser on my PC, everything works fine too.

The http header is set to following:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Centent-Length: 148 (the length seems to be correct)
Connection: Close

I have added some Serial.println to see exactly where it crashes, and it is always when calling http.end();

Code and serial monitor logs are added below.

I tried to install and use ESP Exception Decoder, but couldn't get it to decode the stacktrace.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>
 
const char* ssid = "MySSD";
const char* password =  "MyPassword";


void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  delay(4000);

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
 
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Waiting for Wifi");
  }
 
  Serial.println("Wifi connected");
  delay(1000);
}



void loop()
{ 
  if ((WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED)) //Check the current connection status
  {  
    HTTPClient http;;
    http.begin("http://192.168.0.105:485/esp32.html");
    int httpCode = http.GET();
  
    Serial.print("httpCode: ");
    Serial.println(httpCode);
   
    if (httpCode > 0) //Check for the returning code
    { 
      String payload = http.getString();
  
      Serial.print("Payload: ");
      Serial.println(payload);
    }
    else 
    {
      Serial.println("Error on HTTP request");
    }
    
    Serial.println("Trace just before http.end()");
    http.end(); //Free the resources
    Serial.println("Trace just after http.end()");
  }
  delay(1000);
}

I have now finally figured out how to use the ESP Exception Decoder tool, but unfurtunately I didn't get any wiser from that

But I'm hoping it could help anybody else, which can help me understand what the problem is

You probably should be checking that it began successfully. eg.

Code: Select all

bool httpInitResult = http.begin("http://192.168.0.105:485/esp32.html");
if( httpInitResult == false ) {
  Serial.println("http.begin() failed!"); //debug
}
else {
  int httpCode = http.GET();
  if (httpCode > 0) { //Check for the returning code 
      String payload = http.getString();
      Serial.print("Payload: ");
      Serial.println(payload);
  }
  else 
  {
    Serial.println("Error on HTTP request");
  }
  //etc etc
  http.end();
}

Though I agree it should be failing gracefully anyway, especially in the Arduino environment. It would be worth opening an issue on GitHub if nobody can figure it out.

Thanks for your suggestion Boarchuz

I tried it, but it didn't make any difference, in my case http.begin always returns a true.

I also get a successful response back with http payload including expected html code, but just after that it crashes.

The strange thing is that it only crashes when it sends a http req to my homemade webserver, it works fine with all other webservers.

I double checked my http header from the server, and also added "Content-Type: text/html" "Date:....." and "Server:..." to the header.

Further more I checked the header and html response using a program called Fiddler and using FireFoxs Inspector tool, and I really can't see any problem with it, but there must be something in the response from my webserver causing the crash

Anybody able to help here?

I would really appriciate some help with this.

Thanks in advance

Dump as much debug output as you can, especially all of the response headers. Get separate output for a successful one and one that crashes.
Get the raw response in Fiddler and post it verbatim here.

I can see in Fiddler that the http response from my Raspberry Pi is marked with blue where all other requests towards other servers are black. But I can't see any kind of error indications for the request.

Could the error be related to that I am using a fixed IP address instead of a domain name, and no DNS lookup is done?

The problem has been solved, or a least a workaround, by reporting an issue on GitHub.

I got an Apache webserver up and running on Raspbian as suggested on GitHub, and then things worked fine using this new webserver, the ESP32 didn't crash here.

I noticed that my old server used the following in the http header:
Connection: close

But the Apache webserver used:
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive

I tried using the same in the header from my original webserver, and voila, now the ESP32 didn't crash anymore.

This is a workaround I easily can live with permanently, but I guess it's something the httpCLient should be robust for, and not crash.

I'm having this same problem, and I don't have control over the webserver I'm getting info from, so I can't change the header.

Has anyone figured out a way to make the httpclient not crash when loading info from a server that sends the "connection: close" header?

(I'm retrieving info from the webserver inside a weather station).

My crash:

Code: Select all

ESP32 exception decoder translates that to:

Code: Select all

PC: 0xe343c000
EXCVADDR: 0xe343c000

The crash happens the second time the loop runs, I think every time. It doesn't crash when connecting to servers that don't send the "connection: close" header.
