camE upload fail using passive ftp

[JP Meijers]

Binary package hint: came

camE uploaded fine with active mode ftp (passive ftp set to 0 in the config file). Due to changes to our firewall I had to change it to use passive mode (passive ftp set to 0 in the config file). The upload of an image then fails after the SIZE and RETR commands with a 550 error (RETR 550 remote file not found).

After debugging I commented out line 1002 in webcam.c in camE's source: /*curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, st.st_size); */

After this change, a compile and install, my passive ftp uploading works fine.

Source package: came_1.9.orig.tar.gz with came_1.9-3.2ubuntu1.diff.gz applied.
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

Not sure who else would need to approve/look at this since it is not really something that I feel comfortable submitting upstream because there is no clear indication of why it was there in the first place.

[Alexander Heitmann (alexheitmann)]

Not sure how related to passive ftp or INFILESIZE this problem is, but this problem is definitely caused by the #ifdef taking out CURLOPT_MUTE and replacing it with CURLOPT_UPLOAD, in which an upload will only occur if CURLOPT_MUTE is defined or ftp_debug==0.
