Bug #53548 [Com]: post failled when '@' is the first character

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53548&edit=1 ID: 53548 Comment by: wangyi6854 at sohu dot com Reported by: wangyi6854 at sohu dot com Summary: post failled when '@' is the first character Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: cURL related Operating System: FreeBSD 8.1 PHP Version: 5.3.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Yes. But curl should provide a option to turn it off. The project I involve limits the length of post field. So add some char into the front of the string is not possible. I check the curl's manual(command line version). it has a global option to turn it off. But I can't found the way to turn off some particular fields. Any suggestion? Thanks!
