Re: cURL bug -- Segmentation Fault when timeout is 1 second

Hello.
Thank you for your answer.
With the malloc memory reservation the error disappears at the moment.
But there are 2 problems I still have:
1. I want to have an infinite big buffer, like a std::string in C++. If the
website-output is larger than the buffer size, then I get a
memory-access-error again.
Isn't "char*" an infinite c-string that waits for an 0x0 termination
sequence, is it?
2. The output of the buffer with printf() is not correct. Some foreign
memory contents are in my string... The output is like:
