Re: Content-Length Question

Hi Gang,

I think I have tracked down the issue to be the one mentioned in this
thread:

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-08/0101.html

I think the problem that I am experiencing is that add_bufferf() does not
properly handle the %lld format in CodeWarrior 9.3 on Mac OS X.

I am working on a terrible hack right now to get around this problem. Does
anybody have any ideas on an elegant way to address this issue?

Cheers!

-- Jim
