Summary: cURL with sftp strange behaviour after connection drop

Initial Comment:
Hi there,

Not sure if its the right place to log this ticket because it seems to be the libssh2 package affecting cURL.

I created a 70mb file and transferred it using the command below:
curl --connect-timeout 1 --retry 1 -# -k -u athed:Helpme12 -T file14 sftp://172.21.2.232/

The file sftp speed was about 2 seconds per 10% completion while transferring (+- 20 seconds for 100% completion)

When a connection drop occurred while transferring, cURL's progress bar paused. When the connection came up again, cURL resumed the transfer but the transfer speed changed to a slower speed of +- 5 seconds per 10% completion.

Hope you will be able to duplicate this strange occurance. I was able to duplicate this everytime :)

Can you please retry with a libssh2 daily build from May 13 2012 or later?
I suspect you saw the symptoms of a libssh2 bug we've fixed there.

Message:
This sounds like a libssh2 problem. Any chance you can try to repeat this
strangeness with a libssh2 example code and then take the problem to the
libssh2-devel if it remains?

It could be related to the "read-ahead" system libssh2 is using with SFTP.
