Today I played hide and seek at work, this time it was not find the missing semicolon but instead find the unknown. After 30 minutes it turned out the request URL had a capital 'i' instead of a small 'L'
==> l = I almost the same but guess my eyes are not functioning as they should

It was a fun game

fuck off i'm busy!

    @Hedgepig it is an uOS app using swift. But the URL I'm talking abiut was sent by a colleague asking me to check why no data is returned, to find out it was a simple typo

    Try to Google a good font for programming, they really help you to avoid this kind of problem. Some good ones are:
    Monaco
    Deja vu
    Consolas
    Inconsolata
    I'm sure everyone has a favorite.
    Cheers
