After getting libcurl to compile for Symbian - Nokia 5th edition SDK 1,0 - I began implementing a protocol that sits on top of HTTP/HTTPS. Although simple GETs and POSTs work fine. A GET with my own headers supplied crashes with a memory overrun down in curlib. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I've narrowed the code down as much as I can and its just not doing that much. Here it is :

void testGetWithHeaders(char* url)
{
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode curl_result;

    curl = curl_easy_init();

    if (curl)
    {
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
        struct curl_slist *headers=NULL;
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "x-mm-clientid: nmm:[email protected] ");
        headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "x-mm-commandid: 2");
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "x-mm-cookie: NIC=NIC-7668-27"); headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "x-mm-cookie: PIC=PIC-7668-28");
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);

        curl_result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
        if (curl_result == CURLE_OK)
        {
            std::cout << "OK!" << std::endl;
        }
        else
        {
            // something went wrong - error code is in curl_result
std::cout << "libcurl error code #" << curl_result << std::endl;
        }
    }
}

The crash occurs in curl_easy_perform. It looks like after the GET returns with the data (the server sends back HTTP/1.1 200 OK), the curlib attempts to write a giant amount of data back. This is because data->req.upload_present is set to -103. That value gets passed in as size_t len in :

CURLcode Curl_write(struct connectdata *conn, curl_socket_t sockfd, const void *mem, size_t len, ssize_t *written)

and becomes 4294967188.

If anyone has suggestions to track this down further or some idea of something stupid that I'm doing they'd be appreciated. thanks.
