Thanks Jacqui - I think that's a separate issue. I occasionally get those empty results as well and have ways of working around them - the big difference is that unlike the 'previous request not completed' error they don't break subsequent network connections. I've added a network activity log (libURLSetLogField) for my beta tester - hopefully that will shed some light on the issue.

If anyone has personal experience of this issue I'd be keen to hear about it.

I'm experiencing a serious connectivity problem that appears to start
with the error 'error Previous request not completed', usually in
response to a post request, and ends with LC being pretty much
totally unresponsive to any network requests. In the IDE this can
sometimes (but not always) be rectified by calling resetAll but in
our application, the only solution is to quit the app and start
again. The post request are via https but I'm not sure whether that's
a factor. One of my beta testers is having real problems with this
(on multiple platforms) but I'm unable to replicate the problem on my
setup at the moment.

The socketTimeoutInterval is set to 5000 but when the error occurs it
will repeatedly occur no matter how long you wait between requests
(once the error occurs network connectivity is pretty much broken).

There's a discussion in the forums that seems related. I did some tests today and got very inconsistent results; about 2/3 of the time I got return values from the POST and the rest of the time I get empty in both the result and in "it". I tinkered with the timeout interval but it didn't help.
