Bug description: final char deleted with CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER I noticed a while ago that CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER added trailing null chars to the end of html pages, which seemed odd, but didn't seem like a bug. Then I noticed that on binary files, in fact what it does is REPLACE the trailing char with a null char. Oddly, setting CURLOPT_HEADER to 1 seems to fix the problem. <? $f = fopen('/tmp/bla1','w'); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.php.net/gifs/small_submit.gif"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE,$f); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); rewind($f); fclose($f); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.php.net/gifs/small_submit.gif"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $ret = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $f = fopen('/tmp/bla2','w'); $ret = fwrite($f,$ret,strlen($ret)); fclose($f); system('diff /tmp/bla2 /tmp/bla1'); ?>

Try the latest cvs of cURL and set the CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER option along with the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option. -Sterling-
