From 53e47ca947312981fd5773bb618aa5e5b1f2e1e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:08:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KNOWN_BUG: The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits large (and thus so is curl_socket_t on that platform), and long is only 32 bits. It makes it impossible for curl_easy_getinfo() to return a socket properly with the CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET option as for all other operating systems. --- docs/KNOWN_BUGS | 5 +++++ docs/libcurl/curl_easy_getinfo.3 | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/KNOWN_BUGS b/docs/KNOWN_BUGS index 92b92ff5d..c8a757e19 100644 --- a/docs/KNOWN_BUGS +++ b/docs/KNOWN_BUGS @@ -3,6 +3,11 @@ join in and help us correct one or more of these!
