mg_read() returns 1, bug?

[Timo L.]

I modified the code of embedd_cpp slightly to understand how mg_read() works.

The documentation says it returns the number of read bytes, or indicating finish, error.

In my case however it always returns 1.

To verify whether it actually only reads 1 byte, I counted how often I looped until my amount of data has been transmitted. So I can clearly say, that it did not read only 1 byte, but exactly the buffer size.

Is my understanding wrong or is this a bug?

Here's the code:

bool

handlePost(CivetServer *server, struct mg_connection *conn) override

{

/* Handler may access the request info using mg_get_request_info */

const struct mg_request_info *req_info = mg_get_request_info(conn);

long long len = req_info->content_length;

char *buf[4096] = {0,};

int readBytes = 0;

int i = 0;

do {

readBytes = mg_read(conn, buf, sizeof(buf)) > 0;

printf("read: %d, i %d\n", readBytes, i);

i++;

} while (readBytes > 0);

printf("len %lld\n", len);

mg_printf(conn,

          "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: "

          "text/html\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n");

return true;

}

I am sorry, please ignore this.
