HTTPRequest node: destroy node when done?

UnknownUser

I am fetching audiofiles, images and JSONs via HTTPRequest node, which works as expected. (Yay.) As the HTTPRequest node reqires being attached to the scene tree for the request to work, I am wondering if I can/have to free the memory after the successful request?

I am asking because I did not find freeing memory after an request in any tutorial, so I am wondering why... shall the node remain in the tree for some reason ? Or is it OK if I call http_request-node.queue_free() after the request is done? (In the "request_completed"-callback method, of course.)

I don't believe there is anything wrong with calling queue_free() in request_completed, just as long as if you've gotten all the data from the request you needed. queue_free() is supposed to make certain checks before deleting, so it should be safe.
