I got the same error (Pointer not set for location referenced' after upgrade to the latest version.

We don't pass the parameter peUserAgent (and soapaction) but it is ALWAYS required when calling http_url_post_raw2. wwUserAgent is not filled and it collapses.

It seems there's no 'else' built in ...

Hi there, I am struggling to get the api call with an api key to work. Would you mind sharing your code for the sub proc
I keep getting this error : connect(2): A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.
