Hi Remi,

Any chance of a suggestion on how to fix this?

Akash is using the output of this in the httpLua part of vlc for his gsoc  
project. He has narrowed the problem down to this area and it looks like  
you have identified the problem.

Unfortunately neither he nor I know anything about QT (and it isn't core  
to his project). Any chance of a pointer to the right way to do this? (or  
even a correct line of code)?

thanks in advance,

Rob
