In some cases, servers may send wrong content length of messages - even when they claim to be using HTTP/1.1 and pipelining. This obviously confuses libwww which relies on excat content length in order to do pipelining. Currently, libwww recovers the pipeline and reverts to HTTP/0.9 as it has no guarantee that it can trust the server any more. However, it seems that I forgot to free a timer that could be triggered after the problem started. I have applied a small patch which makes sure that the timer is indeed deleted as expected and the program can continue as normal. You can see the patch at http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/HTBufWrt.c#rev2.27 Please check it out as described in http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#update Henrik -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, <frystyk@w3.org> World Wide Web Consortium, MIT/LCS NE43-356 545 Technology Square, Cambridge MA 02139, USA
