This problem has already been pointed out by others (like here). Althought I may have understood the cause, I still haven't found a solution when using the higher-level http
library.
For example:
import 'package:http/http.dart';
// yes, pwd is String, it's just a test...
Future<Response> login(String user, String pwd) {
final authHeader = encodeBasicCredentials(user, pwd);
return get(
'http://192.168.0.100:8080/login',
headers: <String, String>{
HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION: authHeader,
},
));
}
I can't find a way to catch a SocketException
that is thrown, for example, if the host can't be reached (in my case, wrong host ip).
I have tried wrapping the await
in try/catch
, or using Future.catchError
.
This is a stacktrace of the exception:
