Hi All,
I have an application running on a Fez Spider which makes an HTTPS get to a cloud based server. When setting up one of the devices I made a mistake configuring the update rate and it was making an HTTPS call every 10 seconds which was much much faster than intended. The misconfigured device kept on running out of memory and crashing so I built a test harness to explore what was going on. I found that an HTTP call was fine but it looks like an HTTPS call leaks round 45K on each call. I have tried forcing a GC and different ways of declaring the certificates etc. but no joy.
What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else encountered this?
