Re: [squid-users] Need help to build my own external help

Hi,

I reduced my program to that:

##########
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_INPUT 8192
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   char request [MAX_INPUT];
   while (fgets(request, MAX_INPUT , stdin) != NULL)
   {
       printf ("OK\n");
   }
   return 0;
}

##########

But, I still get the same problem,
