ASIHTTPRequest crash in ASIInputStream forwardInvocation:

Question

Does somebody else has randomly seen crashes in ASIInputStream forwardInvocation: during the use of ASIFormDataRequest? (the request was startAsynchronous)

Here is the backtrace:

Any idea on how to debug this?

Answer 1

This sounds like a bug in ASIHTTPRequest I fixed earlier today, so grab a new copy and hopefully that will resolve the problem.

My apologies to everyone who got caught by this. Clearly, I need more tests! ;)

Answer 2

I can confirm that rel. 1.6 fixes this problem. I had it also (strangely, it was working perfectly in the simulator but crashing on the device) and this new version fixes it. Thanks to the developers for the fix (other than the whole package!) and to catlan for reporting the problem.
