Commented Unassigned: Access violation when creating an http_client with authentication in an exe compiled for xp [322]

I encountered an access violation when trying to use authentication for a client. Here is my code:

http_client_config config;
config.set_credentials(credentials(L"test", L"test"));

http_client client(L"http://localhost", config);

The code is in a simple console application compiled with Platform Toolset v120_xp

When executing the last line that creates the client I get the following exception:
"Unhandled exception at 0x1001A34E (cpprest120d_xp_2_3.dll) in HttpCommClientTest.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xCCCCCCCC."

When compiling with toolset v120 is working fine.
When creating the client without specifying an http_client_config and with toolset v120_xp is working fine.

Are there some limitations I don't know about or this is a bug?

Comments: Hi cbogdan, I think there actually is an issue here. Our NuGet package should take care of automatically defining CPPREST_TARGET_XP for you if you are using one of the toolsets targeting XP. I just took a look and it doesn't, so this is an issue that I'll fix. I agree as well the documentation page for Windows should mention as well, incase you are not using our NuGet package. I'm keeping this issue open until the changes have been made to correct in the future. Thanks, Steve
