4419 :: Cannot get the result from newAsyncHttpClient?

• Ward (orginal) [2018-11-29T13:10:24+01:00] view original

  Nim Compiler Version 0.19.0 [Windows: amd64]

  Consider this code:

  import asyncdispatch, httpclient
  
  var client = newAsyncHttpClient()
  var fut1 = client.getContent("https://www.google.com")
  echo waitFor fut1
  var fut2 = client.getContent("https://www.google.com")
  echo waitFor fut2
  Run

  It's works, however:

  import asyncdispatch, httpclient
  
  var client = newAsyncHttpClient()
  var fut1 = client.getContent("https://www.google.com")
  var fut2 = client.getContent("https://www.google.com")
  echo waitFor fut1
  echo waitFor fut2
  Run

  It cannot get the result, why?

  The program certainly shouldn't hang so this is a bug (please report it on GitHub).

  Why it doesn't work is because you're creating a second request before the first had a chance to complete. The HttpClient doesn't handle this case.
