Hi,

I have the problem that Curl doesn’t seem to recognize a network connection
interruption under Windows Vista.

I start a download using Curl 7.19.6 (the Win32 2000/XP binary from Günter
Knauf) and then interrupt the network connection by unplugging the LAN
cable.

On Windows XP I get an error message after a few seconds, saying: “curl:
(56) Failure when receiving data from the peer”.

With Windows Vista SP1 Curl doesn’t stop, even after 30 minutes it is still
calculating the average download speed and expected time left.

Is this a bug or intended behavior?

I used the following command:

curl -O http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.6.tar.gz

Cheers

Markus
