How to fix Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (LoadProhibited) error

I am trying to write code for the ESP32 chip where it takes in readings from a DHT22 sensor, packages it into a json file, and then sends it to a Flask server. Everything works just fine up until I try to POST, where I get the following error:

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

I have tried an exhaustive search on this issue to no avail, and I have no idea what is going on. Would anyone be able to give insight on how to fix this issue?

This is my Arduino code:

#include <HTTPClient.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <DHT.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

#define DHTTYPE DHT22

const char* ssid = "ssid";
const char* password = "password";

uint8_t sensor = 16;
DHT dht(sensor, DHTTYPE);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  dht.begin();
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected!");
}

void loop() {
  if(WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED) {
    HTTPClient http;
    http.begin("http://192.168.10.5:8090/");
    http.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    Serial.println("Began http on Flask");

    const int cap = JSON_OBJECT_SIZE(2);
    StaticJsonDocument<cap> doc;
    Serial.println("Created json document");

    doc["temperature"] = dht.readTemperature();
    doc["humidity"] = dht.readHumidity();
    Serial.println("Read temperature and humidity correctly");

    char output[256];
    serializeJsonPretty(doc, output);
    Serial.println(output);
    
    //Code will give back error after trying to POST
    int httpCode = http.POST(output);
    Serial.println("Got httpCode");
    if(httpCode > 0) {
      Serial.println(httpCode);
    } else Serial.println("Error in Connection");
    http.end();
  }
  delay(10000);
}

There are print statements here that will print out various things depending on how far it gets into the code. It prints out the json document just fine, but does not print out "Got httpCode". Below is my code for the Flask server:

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods = ['POST'])
def hello():
    req = request.get_json()
    print(req)
    return "Thanks", 200

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host = '0.0.0.0', port = 8090)

Thank you in advance for the help.

I also got this error while using WebSockets.

It turned out that the buffer(declared globally) that I used for receiving messages was appending new messages instead of overwriting the pre-existing contents in it. So, an illegal memory-write attempt was made and the device panicked and rebooted.

Solution: I simply declared the buffer locally inside the onWebSocketEvent() function and the problem of overwriting was solved as the buffer was getting re-declared on every event preventing illegal memory-write attempt. The device never panicked ever again.
