- Mon Jan 23, 2017 1:27 pm #61430 1.) global WiFiClient client --> no difference

2.) .abort() --> class WiFiClient has no member named 'abort'

I can`t believe that the tcp/ip stuff is 'eating' memory ... but the memory never "returns". The following loop ends with 5032 bytes heap and client.connect is never called again ...

Code: Select allvoid loop()
{
  WiFiClient client;
  int heap = ESP.getFreeHeap();

  if( heap > 5000 )
  {
    client.connect(host, 80);
    client.stop();
    Serial.printf( "\n%d", heap );
  }
}

can we consider the issue as a bug? i still can't find any solution to it, do you have any alternate idea to overcome the issue even to use different mechanism to connect to the tcp server?

regards

it seems we are alone here. Possibly we have to open a new thread ...
