v1.52 - Getting "Pointer not set" error on http_url_post_stmf() call.
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2025 4:13 am
This is more of FYI, than a request for help, as I figured out a workaround, but I figured you'd like to know.
I just loaded v1.52, from v1.35.
Existing programs using the "http_url_post_stmf()" api were erroring on the optional "peSOAPAction" parameter not being set, when it tried to call "http_url_post_raw2()" api.
My workaround was to simply add an empty string as the last parameter to the api call.
I tried to pass *omit, but got the same erroring results.

I debugged the process and it was pointing to this call in HTTPAPIR4.
