Hi!
I was checking a test app in valgrind and much to my surprise it was
complaining about a memleak in libmicrohttpd.
In check_argument_match() a buffer is allocated using strdup() but freed
nowhere.
I wouldn't have noticed this leak if it wasn't for valgrind because if a URI is
requested without any arguments (my usual case)
the buffer that gets allocated has 'only' a length of 1 byte, thus memory usage
will build up very slowly over time.
The patch attached fixes it.
Btw. the indentation of that file is a mess, tabs and spaces are mixed :-|
Regards,
Andreas
