Re: [pupnp-devel] Crashing while trying to read file from httpd server

Hi Sangita,

I know its been a long time, but I have been reviewing old problems,
and I see a couple in your example.

First, contentType_a should be a char *, not a char. And you must pass
a char ** to UpnpOpenHttpGet().
Second and related to the above, you were not freeing contentType_a.
Look at the documentation of UpnpOpenHttpGet():

/*!
 * \brief Gets a file specified in a URL.
 *
 * The SDK allocates the memory for \b handle and \b contentType, the
 * application is responsible for freeing this memory.
 *
 * \return An integer representing one of the following:
 *     \li \c UPNP_E_SUCCESS: The operation completed successfully.
 *     \li \c UPNP_E_INVALID_PARAM: Either \b url, \b handle,
...
 *     \li \c UPNP_E_BAD_RESPONSE: A bad response was received from the
 *             remote server.
 */
EXPORT_SPEC int UpnpOpenHttpGet(

So, in your example, you should always free(contentType_a) after you
call UpnpCloseHttpGet().

Marcelo.
