Re: Problem with fast posts

As nobody could help me I had to do it by myself. You find a patch attached 
to fix the problem. I admitt that the solution is not very elegant but the 
main modification is kept in the HTTP.c, so the chance of implications on 
other functions is quite low. I hope it will find it's way into the CVS.
