## #42076 — Mark Karpeles — 2008-11-29T10:47:27+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/42076#42076

Hello,

Added a patch and a test file to http://bugs.php.net/46711 . After
extensive tests I believe this bug should be considered fixed (no more
memory leak, and expected behaviour is still working).

I would also like to provide more tests to libcurl and give some of my
time to fix existing bugs. (I'm using libcurl a lot, I believe I should
be able to write tests for most features, including curl_multi).

The main thing I would like to fix is the current need for an external
HTTP server for libcurl tests (and do like it's done for ext/ftp: use
 `pcntl_fork()` and create a local http server).

Before starting I'd like to know if anyone is already working on
something similar.

As far as I can see, ext/curl was maintained by Sterling Hughes, but I
can't seem to find any recent information about him, so I'm wondering
who should I bug to get the changes in the patch proposed to bug #46711
commited (with its test).


Best regards,
Mark Karpeles
