tags 196431 +patch thanks On 07/09/14 15:55 +0530, Y Giridhar Appaji Nag said ... > Axel currently cannot handle strings of length over 256 (MAX_STRING in > axel.h) and should exit gracefully. Fix forthcoming. Attached patch ... 1. Exits if the URL is over MAX_STRING in length 2. Increases MAX_STRING to 1024 from 256 to be more useful :) Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/
