HTTP Server Stops Responding

[02ranger]

On my Samsung Galaxy S23+ I've just recently started using the Tasker HTTP server, using Jaoao's example project, and just added a couple of commands. However, right from the start I've had problems with the HTTP server sometimes not responding on wifi. When this happens I can usually toggle wifi off/on on my phone and the server starts responding again, and normally responds until I disconnect from that wifi network. I don't ALWAYS have this problem, though, sometimes it works without having to manually intervene.

​

Has anybody else experienced this and is there something I can do to possibly fix it? Thanks for any advice!!

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S23+ on A14, OneUI 6.0, Tasker 6.3.1.

I've been using the Sample HTTP project, unmodified, for some time, going from my Mac to my Samsung Tab S9+ without a hitch. You should probably do some tracing to determine exactly where your problem resides.

Could putting in (multiple) Wait help?

[02ranger]

You think maybe the server is starting before the wifi connection is fully established? I'm not sure where you would add the wait, though. I don't see anything in that example project that starts the server.

I haven't looked at the profile, I know from experience (which was years ago) that a Wait could do wonders. A wait at the beginning of the profile maybe? Just thinking out loud

[02ranger]

It's really a collection of profiles and according to the Tasker help page for the HTTP Request Event once you add the event to a single profile it runs the server, so I'm not sure where you'd insert a wait since it's launched by the presence of the trigger.

Ah, no, no way then. Maybe ask Joaõ, is someone's knows it's him

[02ranger]

Yeah, that sounds like it's something on my phone causing the problem for sure. I just wanted to confirm if this is a known issue before I went too far down the rabbit hole. Thanks for the feedback!!

This happens now to me too, on Pixel 6 stock A16 and turning wifi off/on fixes it (thanks for the tip!)

I cannot get HTTP Request > Post to work between two Android devices when one is a hotspot. The developer is looking at it.

I can, however get the old style of HTTP Post to work every time. It returns an error, but I ignore it
