At a first glance on the scripts in libURL, I've found something that
corrects the problem. In the script "andmore", the case of a chunked
transmission seems to be recursively treated until the chunk size is "O"
(is it correct ?). In this last case, the first instruction is a read from
socket. I've commented this instruction, thinking that if a chunk as no
size, it does not exist and it is not necessary to read it.
The result appears to work without problem.
Is there any possible problem with this modification?
