Category: libcurl
Group: wrong behaviour
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Priority: 5
Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody)
Assigned to: Daniel Stenberg (bagder)
Summary: bad httpPost->contents

Initial Comment:
libcurl 7.7.3-1 on red hat 7.1 (linux 2.4.2-2).

I frequently recieve this as a response from a post:
99-10000curlZIf0uVBoGxcTMvjRGY+Sb0ArCit is not a valid
case.
when i "peek" at httpPost->contents, it is correct.
(see "peek" comment below)
is the calloc maybe causing problems?
am i doing something incorrectly?

i have tried several variations and they all result in
similar results.
