Hi guys ! I am currently using this library: https://github.com/nmattisson/HttpClient to make a request to an JSON page. My problem is the time taken by this process. It can take up to 7 seconds before the next request is complete. If any of you had a idea to reduce time, It would be welcome ! Tha…

Sounds like you’re running into a TCPClient timeout? I’m using the develop branch and seeing responses of 500ms. Working on webhooks at the moment and also finding they’re too unreliable which is a real shame.

What I don’t understand is that before, the response time that I had was something like 500ms for me too. But, now for an unclear reason it’s a couple of second…

@JumpMaster Can you point me to the dev branch that you are using? What I’m doing is fairly simple, it is worth a try.

I meant the firmware develop branch for compiling offline. Actually once the system1 and system2 is updated tcpclient works as expected and you can compile code in the cloud… [image] particle-iot/firmware firmware - Device OS (Firmware) for Particle Devices

@JumpMaster I am not sure to understand, can I use the develop branch ? If yes, how ?

Take a look at this topic... [image] Photon how to setup local compiling General You could take the easy route and use this, which has Netbeans included smile

Interesting, but for I want to share my project with a couple of friends and I don’t want them to have to compile locally. I don’t get it, according to the web IDE HttpClient is the most used library and can’t find any topic about the slow response time… Have I miss something ?

The problem is in firmware 0.4.4 and earlier on the Photon. The TCPClient used in HttpClient is not detecting the server disconnecting so instead the connection is closed after a 5 second timeout. This is fixed in the next firmware release. To work around the issue for now copy HttpClient.cpp and…

I fixed this in HttpClient by parsing the content length of the response into an integer and exited my loop after the response body buffer was equal to the content length. I can post the code if anyone is interested.

@rac146 , Yes it can be nice to have !
