Package: libwww-curl-perl
Version: 3.02-2+b3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
I am the maintainer of apt-cacher which I have recently converted to use
libcurl via libwww-curl-perl.
I have had a bug filed against apt-cacher (#462523) which is failing to
limit bandwith usage since conversion to libcurl.
Looking at the source of libwww-curl-perl, this appears to be because
CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE requires a curl_off_t parameter, but
Curl.xs uses the default handler and casts it to long.
I have created a very basic patch and verified that it fixes the test
case for me here. It probably is not finished and requires some version
#ifdefs, but seems a good starting point.
I would be grateful if you would consider including a fix for this.
Thanks,
Mark
