Hi,
I'm currently trying getting the following code to work:
import httpclient
import threadpool
proc check() =
discard newHttpClient()
spawn check()it compiles successfully but crashes as soon as it reaches the newHttpClient() line. I already tried using different GC's, current command: nim c -r --threads:on -d:ssl --mm:arc test.nim
It indeed segfaults for me as well.
Traceback (most recent call last)

Nim version: 1.6.4. OS: Arch Linux.
The issue is caused by newCTX being nil at line 631 of net.nim.
It works fine this way:
import httpclient
import threadpool
proc check() =
discard newHttpClient()
parallel:
spawn check()
