Dear all,

I'm using libcurl to build a HTTP proxy in C++ currently. It worked perfect
for non-chunk HTTP(those HTTP responses with "Content-length"). However,
when it needed to handle chunk HTTP, the responses always lost data(checked
through byte size and md5sum) compared with the responses I captured using
wireshark. The most obviously losing data are the chunked sizes at the
beginning of the HTTP responses' message body and the digital 0 to indicate
ending at the end.

I suspect my callback function got problem. Here are the relevant codes:

size_t httpClient::write_data(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void*
userdata)
{

    // get total size
    size_t realsize = size*nmemb;
    // get object
      struct MemoryStruct* mem = (struct MemoryStruct*)userdata;

    // size of memory block pointerd by the mem->memory is changed to the
new bytes
      mem->memory = (char*)realloc(mem->memory, (mem->size + realsize));

    if(mem->memory == NULL)
    {
        printf("not enough memory (realloc returned NULL)\n");
            exit(1);
      }

    // copy to memory structure
      memcpy(&(mem->memory[mem->size]), ptr, realsize);
      mem->size += realsize;

    cout<<"Write ["<<realsize<<"] bytes Data to chunk"<<endl;
      return realsize;

}

Hope someone can point out my mistakes. Thanks :D

The entire code and header file are in the attached. If anyone is
interested, please take a look.
