As mentioned by curl_easy_setopt(3), setting the buffer size via CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE is treated as a request, not an order. In particular, you're less likely to have this request granted when _increasing_ the size of the buffer as you're limited by the sending host on the other end. This isn't really a limitation of libcurl specifically, but of all network I/O. regards, dave ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
