Marc,
I started off using fread, this seems to do exactly the same.
Even if I put the read / fread in a loop as below I still only get part of
the post.
TotalRead =0;
do{
Read = fread(ptmp,1,ContentLength,stdin);
TotalRead +=Read;
}while(!feof(stdin));
I have now tried using Borland C++ Builder and get exactly the same
results, so I don't think it's the VC+ libraries
Has anyone ever had the multipart mime stuff working on Win32? is there any
sample code ?? - please.
I have not recently looked through the win32 code for mod_cgi but am about
to, does the handing of multipart mime differ from that of a straight
post?. Is there a limitation on the file sizes which can be "posted" to a
WIN32 console application??
