Please count me among the many pulling our collective hair out trying to bend libwww to our will. My problem seems simple: I am using HTLoadToFile. Under particular circumstances, I must abort the transfer, and erase the remnant of the file that gets left behind. I am unable to unlink the file because it is still open. I have tried several ways to get libwww to close the file, and I've been all over the documentation looking for the Right Way to do this. I must be missing something obvious, because with every attempt, I get a return from unlink() indicating that the file is still open. This situation does not seem like a corner case, and still I can find no example that grants me success. Stopping the event loop is not a problem, and bringing the Library to a stop (via HTProfile_delete()) is not a problem, and libwww works very well when I don't have to interrupt and erase the resultant file. Can someone please point me to documentation or example which shows which calls to make to properly close the file so that I can safely unlink it? -- Daniel M.
