Sorry, I've kind of missed the point while reading your message ;) Are you saying we should use an unsigned long even though it will be read as a long by curl, or that we shoulduse POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, or that it's OK as it is? -- Raphael Kubo da Costa ProFUSION embedded systems http://profusion.mobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
