Hi,
i am experiencing a problem when getting effective url...
All i want to do is to get effective url without downloading
body. I get strange string in info variable after call to
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, &info). Problem
is that this function return CURLE_OK while passing pointer to
strange data. Potentional hint could be that this "bug" occurs
only when passing url without path (i.e. http://www.google.com).

code looks this way:
        CURL *curl;
        CURLcode res;
        curl = curl_easy_init();
        if(curl) {
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url->BuildURI().GetData());
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 5);
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
                res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
                if (res != CURLE_OK) {
                        #ifdef MYLOG
                        wxLogStatus("%s could not be resolved. Error code: %d",
url->BuildURI().c_str(), res); #endif // MYLOG
                        return RESOLVE_URL_FAILED;
                }

                char* info = NULL;
                res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, &info);
                if((CURLE_OK == res) && info) {
                        url->Create(info);
                }

debug output looks this way:
10:25:26: Status: resolving url: http://www.idnes.cz
10:25:26: Status: resolved to:
http://%80b%0f%01%98b%0f%01%e8*%0f%01

could anybody help me with this problem?
thanks in advance...
