f[x_] = E^(I*Pi*x)*(1 - (x + 1)^(1/(x + 1))); 
g[x_] = x^(1/x); u := t/(1 - t); 

sub = Im[NIntegrate[(f[(-I t)] - f[( I t)])/(Exp[2 Pi t] - 1), {t,
          0, Infinity}, WorkingPrecision -> 100]]

Is the same as 


{Re[NIntegrate[f[t], {t, 0, Infinity}]], and, 
 Re[NIntegrate[f[t], {t, 0, Infinity I}, WorkingPrecision -> 100]]}

NIntegrate::deodiv: DoubleExponentialOscillatory returns a finite integral estimate, but the integral might be divergent.

MRB=$\sum _{x=0}^{\infty } e^{i \pi x} \left(1-(x+1)^{\frac{1}{x+1}}\right) $ vs M2= $\int_0^\infty e^{i \pi x} \left(1-(x+1)^{\frac{1}{x+1}}\right) dx$ in proper integrals

See this notebook. I got an interesting co-answer here.

I won't bring the subject of numerical computation into this discussion, but I spent several years learning to compute the digits of $\int_0^\infty{e^{i \pi x} \left(1-(x+1)^{\frac{1}{x+1}}\right)}dx.$ You can read about my adventure at How to calculate the digits of the MKB constant. If you like numeric computations, of much interest is the story of how I came across this integral, by investigating $\sum _{x=0}^{\infty } e^{i \pi x} \left(1-(x+1)^{\frac{1}{x+1}}\right)$ since the 1990s, at Try to beat these MRB constant records!
