Dan,

Yes, off_t it is a long long, and CodeWarrior 9 is happy with it.

In fact, in CodeWarrior, sprintf() handles %lld just fine, so I use it to
get the long long into a string. However, libcurl redirects the sprintf()
method to call curl_msprintf in mprintf.h. So, for now, I commented out that
define so that I could use sprintf() to convert the long long into a
string--hey, I said it was a terrible hack! ;-) At any rate, I'm not doing
too much with libcurl in my current incarnation of code, so this hack will
hold me for a short while.

The reason that this was such a nasty bug for me was due to my lack of
knowledge of libcurl and HTTP. I was so focused on thinking that I had not
properly used the curl_easy_setopt() commands, I didn't think about looking
libcurl's source code!

On the bright side, I did learn a bit about the HTTP protocol and libcurl
along the way.

Sadly, I'm in the midst of a big project and I don't have the time at the
moment to see if could come up with a better fix. However, if someone would
like me to test some code that they write, I'm happy to do it.

Cheers!
