POST results in ERROR: no method pointer(ASCIIString,) about httpclient.jl HOT 10 CLOSED

This was due to a 0.3 dependency. Have updated METADATA accordingly. You can try removing and adding HTTPClient again (after a Pkg.update() i.e.).

Closing the issue, Do reopen if the problem is not solved.

Hmm, update fails like this:

_julia> _Pkg.update()

INFO: Updating METADATA...

INFO: Updating DataFrames...

INFO: Computing changes...

WARNING: julia is fixed at 0.2.1 conflicting with requirement for
HTTPClient: [0.3.0-,∞)

INFO: Removing Stats v0.1.0

OK. That was just a warning. Now, can you do a Pkg.rm("HTTPClient") followed by Pkg.add("HTTPClient")

from httpclient.jl.

Ok. I'm still seeing the same issue, though. Where is your change? In
github, it looks like the last commit on master is from March 25th:

The change is in METADATA - JuliaLang/METADATA.jl@976fe64 where I specifically marked dependency of the latest HTTPCient on julia version 0.3

The latest HTTPClient that can work with julia 0.2 is the previous version, i.e., JuliaLang/METADATA.jl@f714311

from httpclient.jl.

So, once you tried re-installing HTTPClient, I expected the package manager to get the previous version of HTTPClient which is compatible with julia 0.2

from httpclient.jl.

What does Pkg.resolve() display?

from httpclient.jl.

Interesting. I was able to get the 0.1.0 pkg installed, but I had to do
Pkg.rm("HTTPClient") twice. The first time, it removed it from "Required
packages", but as shown here, the "0.1.1" pkg was still listed under
"Additional packages".

julia> Pkg.status()
Required packages:

• DataFrames 0.4.2
• JSON 0.3.5
• Stats 0.1.0
  Additional packages:
• Blocks 0.0.2
• DataArrays 0.0.2
• GZip 0.2.12
• HTTPClient 0.1.1 master
• LibCURL 0.1.1
• SortingAlgorithms 0.0.1
• StatsBase 0.2.10

After doing the Pkg.rm statement again, and then add, I finally had 0.1.0.

Cool! You should not be seeing those errors on a HTTP POST now.

from httpclient.jl.

Yes. Confirmed that POST works now.
