There are some strange things going on: whenever I commented out the calls to curl_multi_remove_handle() and curl_multi_cleanup(), all was well. Whenever I did not, there was either a segfault, or an endless loop. Also, I had to update my curl, because http-push *absolutely* needs CURLOPT_HTTPGET. I tried to fake it with any combination of CURLOPT_{NOBODY,POST,PUT,UPLOAD}, but failed. (Yes, that means that you won't have to deal any longer with my patches to support older curl versions...) Note: all my tests are from an iBook (client) to an Intel Linux (server). I will run some tests on another client with valgrind (that will wait until tomorrow; it's 3.30am local time, so I head to bed). Ciao, Dscho ``` ## Nick Hengeveld, 2005-11-07 04:31 Subject: Re: HTTP push Message-ID: <20051107043149.GH3001@reactrix.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20051107043149.GH3001%40reactrix.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, Nov 07, 2005 at 03:35:33AM +0100, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > I played a little with git-http-push.

I ran into similar issues when memory was freed more than once. > I will run some tests on another client with valgrind (that will wait > until tomorrow; it's 3.30am local time, so I head to bed). Thanks, I'll work on memory cleanup some more. -- For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. ```
