Summary: fwrite() informs of a partial write for no good reason

Initial Comment:
Working on libcurl for c++ version 7.11.1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a set of HTTP files, writing data to each one
of them as follows
for (int i=0 ;< 20; i++)
{
   1. Call Curl_Open() for file name http://<http-
server>/myfilename-i
   2. Call a Curl_Write operation with buffer size = 20000
bytes.
   3. Call a Write operation with buffer size = 40000
   4. Call a Curl-Close() operation
}
The problem occurs in sendf.c function: Curl_client_write
where fwrite returns wrote < len.
I checked GetLastError() which equal to 0 to indicate no
system error.

My email address orna.haber_at_ca.com

The attached zip file includes 2 source files that
illustrates the steps to reproduce and my proposed
soltion to the problem in sendf.c (sendf.c of version
7.11.1)

vecchioc, this is a very old and closed bug report. Adding info here is
pointless.

If you want to discuss something, take to the curl-library mailing list.

If you want to file a bug report, please submit a new one.

We are having this error in our application. (with libcurl 7.15.5) on
windows 2003 server.
Some of our customers have an error "Failed writing body" every ~20 files
pushed to an FTP server.

The in any case the fwrite as I found in sendf.c:
399: wrote = data->set.fwrite(ptr, 1, len, data->set.out);
i.e. write "len" blocks of 1 byte.

is wrong, because the fwrite (in any platform) does not guarantee it will
write all "len" blocks.

The correct form is
399: wrote = len * data->set.fwrite(ptr, len, 1, data->set.out);
i.e. write 1 block of len bytes.

as work around I'm going to put a customized fwrite.

Closed this until anything comes up that proves this worthy
of attention.

Operation.cpp:

if (!m_pCurlFile->Open(m_strFileName,
   CFile::modeCreate/*0x02*/))

Shouldn't there be a typeBinary here to?
Ascii/binary matters for MFC too, no?

Hard to say what your problem is since the CURLFile
definition/implementation is missing from your .zip.

1. GetLastError() is Windows, it doesn't exist on other
platforms.

2. fwrite() should never return anything by the same amount
as given to it, as everything else is a failure.

Can you explain why fwrite() fails for you in this case?
