Hello All,

The core-dump was because I was passing something silly to CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER.

The "Couldn't resolve host ..." that libCurl was trying to report was
because I set CURLOPT_NETRC, and this apparently precludes specifying
usernames and passwords in URLs.

Does anyone think that a ~don't care~ option for CURLOPT_NETRC would be
useful? Given some hints about where to start, I can imagine doing the typing.

Regards,
James Cone.

===========================

Hello All,

I'm trying an FTP upload in libCurl 7.9.5 on 64-bit hpux B.11.00 A, in a
32-bit program.

My URL is ftp://jcone:password@xxx/yyy which the local g_d assures me is sane.

The stack-trace, which shows the URL in frame 8 is:

(gdb) bt

     at curlHelp.c:142
#9 0x00005744 in main (argc=9, argv=0x77ff06ec) at mgrVchrRdmExp.c:316
(gdb)

The address in frame 8 is out of bounds because it was in a memory-mapped
file, which isn't mapped for post-mortem debugging.

CURLOPT_VERBOSE appears to cause nothing in the log. I guess it dies
before getting that far.

Debugging advice welcome :-)

James Cone.
