TCP connection seems to block until timeout about httpclient HOT 4 OPEN

I am not sure anymore that this delay is the cause of my problem. I activated LOGGING, and this is what I got from the Http Client:

HttpClient>  Connecting to IP: 192.168.1.125:80
HttpClient>     Start of HTTP Request.
POST /wifispark HTTP/1.0
Connection: close
Content-Length: 19
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: */*
Connection: Close
{"humidity":"43.5"}
HttpClient>     End of HTTP Request.

HttpClient>     Receiving TCP transaction of 85 bytes.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 09 Apr 2016 10:54:46 GMT
Connection: close

Thank you!
HttpClient>     End of TCP transaction.
HttpClient>     Error: Timeout while reading response.

HttpClient>     End of HTTP Response (5700ms).
HttpClient>     Status Code: 200

So there surely happens something that cause a Timeout to occur. Does the HTTP server has to respond with a strictly formated body? Currently, the server only answers Thank you! when it correctly receives a JSON object by the POST method.

Hi Jean-Philippe,

We used Particle at Minut (www.minut.com) in the early prototyping days, and back then there didn't exist an HTTP Library—so I wrote this. Since moving to production we're no longer using Particle (but remain great fans!) which is why this library isn't as maintained as perhaps it should be.

There are still many users and the occasional bugfix, but for the most part discussion takes place in the Particle forums. I'd recommend posting your concerns there to get some feedback from people using this code more actively!

Cheers,
Nils

I just posted on the Particle forum: HERE

@yerpj did you ever figure this out? I'm experimenting with the same thing and haven't gotten any timeouts yet, but it does seem to block in general while either making the POST request or waiting for the response. I'd like to be able to continually make post requests without waiting for any kind of response
