ELOG

elogd sometimes crashes when there are large cookies. Or I'd guess it has something to do with the cookies, elogd crashed over and over again until I cleaned out cookies and authenticated sessions in firefox, then it stopped.

When I run "elogd -v" in gdb, and someone does:

Stefan,

perhaps there should be something like the bold text below in elogd.c:

int process_http_request(const char *request, int i_conn)^M
...

   /* extract cookies */^M
   if ((p = strstr(request, "Cookie:")) != NULL) {^M
      p += 6;^M
      do {^M
         p++;^M
         while (*p && *p == ' ')^M
            p++;^M
         strlcpy(str, p, sizeof(str));^M
         for (i = 0; i < (int) strlen(str); i++)^M
            if (str[i] == '=' || str[i] == ';')^M
               break;^M
         if (str[i] == '=') {^M
            str[i] = 0;^M
            p += i + 1;^M
            for (i = 0; *p && *p != ';' && *p != '\r' && *p != '\n' && i < (int) sizeof(cookie); i++)
cookie[i] = *p++;
