@Gordon I was thinking about the timer workaround ... imagine that a http.get() request is made to a back-end and fails (silently) because there is no callback to say that the network connect request itself failed ... One suggestion was to have a cancel able JS level timer that if not cancelled, would indicate that we had failed to connect ... Imagine that the timer was in fact called ... in our timer callback code we now know we are here because a connect request has failed ... what should we then do? What remediation is possible at the JavaScript level to clean up the internals of todays Espruino? Experience seems to show that I am looping in calls to transmit (to transmit the request).
