# 2.7 beta – Fatal error

 * I have 2.7-beta2-9571 installed. Everything is fine at first, but if I leave 
   it alone and come back in a couple of hours, I get this message
    (In 5 different
   sites with the same version it is the same thing)
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function request() on a non-object in /public_html/
   wp-includes/http.php on line 258
 * I can fix it by using a http.php from the 2.7 beta1 to replace the one in the
   2.7-beta2-9571 and it does not happen.
 * But, I am not sure what the problem really is, I can only patch it.

 * Thank you much! I looked around last night and some this morning, but did not
   see this post. Thanks for putting up with my redundancy! Glad to know I was doing
   the fix right 😉
