I did not meant to say I should continue, far from here :) Thank for the
notice!

Anyway, I pushed the actual code in this branch:
https://github.com/daedric/httpp/tree/bug-promise-test

I was able to do a small test that can *sometimes* reproduce the bug:
https://github.com/daedric/httpp/blob/bug-promise-test/tests/client/promise.cpp


Since I was able to trigger the problem, here are what you asked for:
>From the get side, (from here
https://github.com/daedric/httpp/blob/bug-promise-test/src/httpp/http/client/Manager.cpp#L113)

(gdb) print future
$1 = {
  <std::__basic_future<void>> = {
    <std::__future_base> = {<No data fields>}, 
    members of std::__basic_future<void>: 
    _M_state = std::shared_ptr (count 2, weak 0) 0x805468
  }, <No data fields>}
(gdb) print promise
$2 = {
  _M_future = std::shared_ptr (count 2, weak 0) 0x805468, 
  _M_storage = std::unique_ptr<std::__future_base::_Result<void>> containing
0x805780
}
(gdb) print &promise
$3 = (std::promise<void> *) 0x7fffffffce90


>From the thread calling the pthread_once:

#4  0x0000000000500d67 in std::promise<void>::set_value (this=0x7fffffffce90)
at /usr/include/c++/4.8/future:1197
1197        _M_future->_M_set_result(std::move(__setter));
(gdb) print *this
$4 = {
  _M_future = std::shared_ptr (count 2, weak 0) 0x805468, 
  _M_storage = std::unique_ptr<std::__future_base::_Result<void>> containing
0x805780
}

This is seems to be correct.
This has been produced with commit: 850ebba9a72d102b54de6912e820889618a4f30d

I'm testing now with the lambdas replaced :)
