Hang on Windows

[glucas]

I'm using restclient to interact with a locally-deployed web service. When I try to send a POST, my server receives/processes the request but my Emacs instance is left hanging with 'Contacting host: localhost:8180' in the mode line. At that point I have to kill the emacs process.

I'm using HTTP so there's no certs etc. involved. GET/DELETE seems to work fine. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? Any suggestions for debugging further - even just to have it time out so I don't have to kill emacs would be a big improvement. I can kill the web server and Emacs remains hung.

(Emacs 24.4, Windows 8)

I tried a build off the Emacs 25 branch with -Q, just in case. Same behavior.

George, I had the same problem on Mac OS X and Pavel just fixed the problem I was having. I hope this helps your issue too.

I'll give it a try, thanks!
