Application crashes on http request (SOLVED)

Bugs
#1

While trying to execute http request application crashes.

local function http_result(self, _, response)
    print(response.status)
    print(response.response)
    pprint(response.headers)
end

http.request('http://aws...', 'DELETE', http_result, headers)

Assertion failed: (response.m_ContentLength == -1), function DoDoRequest, file ../src/dlib/http_client.cpp, line 924.

Trying to do the same request with postman does not replicates the issue.
Response is 204 No Content

Do you get “Content-Length” response header? With a 204 response code no Content-Length header should be sent from the server:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.2

But it’s a bit silly that we assert the check for content length. It would be much better if we simply ignore any content length received when the response code is 204.

It returns header Content-Length 0.
Changed to 200, everything passed fine.

This is likely a fairly quick fix if anyone from the community would like to try and fix it!
