c_str member error

[fynixtech]

I was getting this error when compiling some code I wrote implementing the aREST library. I commented the offending line in the library on line 277 and everything works fine. I am thinking it was left behind during your debugging.

In file included from WiFi_CC3000_1.ino:5:
C:\Users\Mech\Desktop\arduino-1.5.1r2\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries\aREST/aREST.h: In member function 'void aREST::handle_proto(T&, bool)':
C:\Users\Mech\Desktop\arduino-1.5.1r2\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries\aREST/aREST.h:277: error: 'class String' has no member named 'c_str'

Hi, thanks for the notice. I just tested it again by doing a fresh install of the library on another machine (Linux with Arduino IDE 1.0.5) and it works fine. Also tested it on 1.0.5 and 1.5.7 under OS X. String.c_str() is indeed a function of the String class:

What Arduino IDE are you using ?

I am currently using 1.5.1r2 stand alone version on Windows 7.

I just made a fresh install on Windows (8.1), with 1.0.5 & 1.5.7 it compiles fine. Maybe upgrade to 1.5.7 ?

alright I will be trying that out tomorrow

I compiled with 1.0.5r1 and compiles with no errors.
