[erlang-questions] Dialyzer HttpPacket Waring (bug?)

[Edmond Begumisa]

Actually, you are both correct.

My IDE was pre-loading CouchDB which comes with it's own older OTP. So  
when dialyzing from my IDE, I was actually running in an older OTP with  
the bug rather than the latest one I normally work with. I only realised  
this when I noticed the bug would only appear in my applications that use  
CouchDB. I've rectified this and everything is fine.

Thanks Lukas and Kostis for your help.
