Re: Ncat proxy authentication

[Duarte Silva <duartejcsilva () gmail com>]

Hi,

Maybe it doesn't do that (automatically promote void pointers) because
the files (http.c, ncat.c, *.c) have in their Properties defined to
compile as C++ code (switch /TP). To change that, select a file, right
click, Properties, then in the tree select C/C++, then Advanced, and
in Code Generation set it to compile as C code (switch /TC).
I do that when mixing code units in C with code unit in C++.

Otherwise, a (char*) explicit conversion should suffice as well as
being portable.

Best regards,
Duarte Silva

PS: I didn't check the code neither the solution options.
