Looks sane, the only thing I was worried about was if the warnf is handling char * str correctly. I found one strange thing in the function though - two va_start(ap, fmt);
calls ... however, this is not coming from your patch (and is fixed in Fedora).
Comment 8 Kamil Dudka 2011-10-27 17:30:00 UTC 
Good catch.  This was fixed in the following upstream commit:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/c0f3e32

... but I did not find any problems resulting from this mistake reported on the upstream mailing list.  I am not sure whether it should be fixed with this bug since it has wider scope than the --delegation option of curl.

Do you have any preferences on that?
Comment 9 Ondrej Vasik 2011-10-27 17:50:00 UTC 
I think we could keep it there as it is - it seems to be harmless - and has no connection with your patch.
Comment 10 Kamil Dudka 2011-10-27 21:59:03 UTC 
Then I will apply the current version of the patch.  Thanks for review!
