Summary: Problem with curlftpfs and libcurl-7.18.1, libcurl/7.18.2-CV

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I got a weird problem with curlftpfs 0.9.2 (in svn) and libcurl 7.18.
(It worked with libcurl 7.17.0).

When i try to download a file with cat /filename (this operation uses
curl_multi_perform()), the first attempt fails. Libcurl seems to try to
reconnect and sends garbage as user and password (see below). All the
other operations (which use curl_easy) and later download attempts work.

Is there any know bug or behavioral change in libcurl, which might be
related to this?

The current curlftpfs code is here:
http://code.google.com/p/curlftpfs/source/checkout

Cheers,
Norbert

What is the complete sequence of operations to reproduce this using
curlftpfs? What mount options? What is in the .netrc file? What operations
on the filesystem?

Yes, but note that the other case of this reported problem ALSO involved
curlftpfs and that nobody else have reported this problem so the
pointer/memory problem could very well be in the curlftpfs code. If you
cannot repeat this problem with a stand-alone program (without using
curlftpfs) that'll remain my guess.

Yup, could be. Looks a bit like a pointer corruption problem. In both
cases it sends weird characters (like parts of the IP-address or the URL)
as user/password. It's probably hard to write a test-case for this, because
it seems to only happen when reusing a curl_easy with multi_add.

Uhm, I can only see curlftpfs packages there? Which file is the
stand-alone sample program?

And btw, calling libcurl 7.18.0 by SONAME *3* is a hack as libcurl is now
on SONAME 4.

Same problem here.
I put the stand-alone sample program here:
http://www.stevenshiau.org/misc/curlftpfs/
I used the curlftpfs codes from svn on code.google.com and complied it on
Ubuntu 8.04. Some version info:
--------------------------
kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
curl 7.18.0-1ubuntu
libcurl3 7.18.0-1ubuntu
--------------------------

Thanks in advance.

Can you provide us with a stand-alone example code that shows this
problem? This could just as well be a curlftpfs problem for all we know...

Is this the same problem as discussed here:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-02/0018.html and
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0108.html ?
