Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I'm trying to delete a file via libcurl. The following is a very simple program to demonstrate how I'm doing this:

  int main(void)
  {
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;
  
    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if(curl) {
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://user:pass@host/path");
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUOTE, "DELE filename");
      res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
      curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
      if(CURLE_OK != res) {
        /* we failed */
        fprintf(stderr, "curl replied: %d\n", res);
      }
    }
    curl_global_cleanup();
    return 0;
  }

When I compile and run this program, I reliably get a segmentation fault. However, the following command using cURL works as expected:

  curl -Q "DELE filename" ftp://user:pass@host/path

The segmentation fault occurs during curl_easy_perform. If I watch the TCP traffic, I get the following output (after password censorship):
