Re: Malformed/Non-standard Set-Cookie or libcurl bug?
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:44:10 +0200
I fount it!
The problem was related to the request (which is a POST to a server page).
POST is an usual request to a server page (without actual form data
posted) in the form:
POST /ServerPage.jsp?someKey=someValue&someOtherKey=someOtherValue...
I tried to force setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" (empty string) and
now everything works correctly.
Thanks for the help.
