[vlc-devel] [PATCH] stream_ReadLine: increase line length limit

[Thomas Guillem]

We can rewrite the lua module in VLC 4.0 to read per size and not per line (and handle \n ourselves).

But i don't think it's a good idea to do it for VLC 3.0.

Romain, your solution implies to modify the VLC Core APU.

I really don't see how the extended maxline can hurt other VLC components.
