ESP32 OTA update keeps crashing on start

I'm trying to OTA update the ESP32 by letting it make a get request to a file on Azure blob storage.

For some unknown reason it won't let me use the WifiClient.connect() function, since it always returns a 0. So now I'm using the HTTPClient library to make a get request to a blob storage on Azure. I got it to make the request and now I'm trying to stream it into:

Update.writeStream();

But whenever I get to that part, it crashes and gives met the following message:

Guru Meditation Error: Core  1 panic'ed (InstrFetchProhibited). Exception was unhandled.

Here is the code:

http.begin("https://AZUREACCOUNT.blob.core.windows.net/CONTAINER/firmware.bin");
  int httpCode = http.GET();
  if (httpCode > 0) {
    if (httpCode == HTTP_CODE_OK) {
      WiFiClient * stream = http.getStreamPtr();

  unsigned long timeout = millis();
while (stream->available() == 0) {
  if (millis() - timeout > 5000) {
    Serial.println("Client Timeout !");
    stream->stop();
    return;
  }
}

int contentLength = http.getSize();

  if (Update.begin(contentLength)) {
    Serial.println("Begin OTA. This may take 2 - 5 mins to complete. Things might be quite for a while.. Patience!");
    // No activity would appear on the Serial monitor
    // So be patient. This may take 2 - 5mins to complete
    size_t written = Update.writeStream((WiFiClient &)stream);

    if (written == contentLength) {
      Serial.println("Written : " + String(written) + " successfully");
    } else {
      Serial.println("Written only : " + String(written) + "/" + String(contentLength) + ". Retry?" );
      // retry??
      // execOTA();
    }

    if (Update.end()) {
      Serial.println("OTA done!");
      if (Update.isFinished()) {
        Serial.println("Update successfully completed. Rebooting.");
        ESP.restart();
      } else {
        Serial.println("Update not finished? Something went wrong!");
      }
    } else {
      Serial.println("Error Occurred. Error #: " + String(Update.getError()));

    }
  }
  else {
    Serial.println("Not enough space");
  }

How can I make this code work so that the device will GET the file from the Azure blob storage and update itself?

You have to find out why it is crashing. The Backtrace does not help you without a tool.

Stack
Please install this tool in your Arduino IDE:
https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder

And put your error inside it to get the calling stack and see where it is crashing. Probably it has nothing to do with the Update but only with the httpclient.

SSL:
You are calling a https page, do you use the secureClient and do you use a SSL certificate? Without it, you will not be able to communicate over a secure connection.

And finally: VERBOSE
Compile with verbose mode active. It is really important to get every message when something does not work. And for the https, every info is very important to find out why it doesn't work like expected.
