Crashes when network disconnected
in Bug Reports
Repetier host is completely unstable when the network is disconnected. The error handling is not even remotely fault tolerant.
1. connect to Repetier server
2. Server goes offline due to network glitch (you can unplug it to replicate)
3. try to save GCodes to server from host.
4. Crash. There is an option to ignore the crash, but this puts Host into a bad state where it crashes anyway.
There are other scenarios as well, but this is the most common one I see. The reason I see it is because I'm on and off of a VPN all day and that messes with the DNS. Repetier Host shouldn't crash if it can't see the server.
