Hello all, there seems to be something wrong with sending data through pipes. I'm trying to upload files to an FTP server by piping them to cURL: These work: - curl < file-to-send ... - cat file-to-send | curl ... These don't: - gzip < file-to-send | curl ... - bzip2 < file-to-send | curl ... - cat file-to-send | rev | curl ... The compressed input in this case is about 7 MB, but it only sends up to 2 MB of that. Sometimes nothing, more often something in between. This is on 7-STABLE from this morning, but the same problem existed on 7-STABLE from ten months ago (I upgraded to see if that would fix it). This has worked flawlessly for several months, then started failing last week. Any ideas what might be the reason? Thanks for your help, -- Christian Ullrich
