Hi

I am getting a memory leak when i am using curl_escape to URL encode the
message.
Here is the code snippet. For this particular test i used Libcurl 7.9.6

    if ((msgType == HTMLFORMENCODED_SOAPWRAPPED) || ( msgType ==
HTMLFORMENCODED_NOTSOAPWRAPPED))
    {
      if (pMessageTag != 0)
      {
        requestString.assign(pMessageTag->c_str());
        requestString.append("=");
      }
      else
      {
        requestString = "message=";
      }

      encString.assign(curl_escape(bufferPointer.c_str(),bufferLength));
      requestString.append(encString);
      curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, requestString.c_str());
      curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE,
requestString.length());
    }
    else
    {
      curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, bufferPointer.c_str());
      curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, bufferLength);
    }

And here is the result of my test in Purify

MLK: 4368 bytes leaked in 2 blocks
  * This memory was allocated from:
  malloc [rtlib.o]
  realloc [rtlib.o]
  curl_escape [escape.c:60]

[HttpWrapper.cpp:28]
  * Block of 2578 bytes at 0x3b7a08
  * Block of 1790 bytes at 0x3b8470

Can you tell me what is the problem.

Thank You

Also consider using the libcurl mailing list instead, as most of the libcurl
using dudes are over there and you might get better answers on that list...

Eh, it was supposed to be fixed in 7.9.8 but due to some line ending
problems
MSVC dislikes the file and a new one was committed to CVS *after* the 7.9.8
release. Get your copy of this corrected version from here:
