RE: YAJL procedures

Scott,

Yajl_getBuf() returns the pointer AND the length.  I was just taking those same values and passing them to http_post.  So I'm not sure why that would be a problem (provided it did this before yajl_genClose().

FWIW - I've switched to using the yajl_getBufStr() because it's easier (for me) to debug.

BTW:  Thanks for both tools!

Greg

Hi,

Seems to me you should be using yajl_copyBufStr().  Definitely should 
not be using yajl_getBuf() which simply returns a raw pointer to the 
internal buffer... this seems like a disaster waiting to happen.  You 
say you want to see the stuff in debug... I don't see how calling 
yajl_getBuf() is going to achieve that?
