RE: httpapi debug file appending not replacing

Schroedinger's file? Did you have it open using anything when the unlink
didn't work in your software, but didn't have it open when the other
unlink did work?

I just ran the process in debug and verified the unlink process was being
executed and the path/filename were correct but the file still existed
after that.

Since then I have now run from IFSEBOOK CH3RENDEL which did successfully
delete the file and it uses exactly the same method.

I am really confused now.

In httpapi the file name is trimmed into the variable passed to unlink eg

eval HTTP_DEBUG_FILE = %trimr(peFilename)
callp unlink(HTTP_DEBUG_FILE)

Whereas in CH3RENDEL

unlink(%trimr(path)) < 0

But that should not make any difference ?

I am obviously missing something :-(

Thanks
