Hi Harald,

Actually, I send the file in a "multipart/form-data" http message
because I need to send other informations at the same time. So, I fill
an evbuffer with differents values and the file separated by a
delimiter. I open the file and I read/write 5KB to the evbuffer.

Therefore, I don't think I use sendfile() and this is why I have this
memory problem. Maybe if I use an other kind of http message instead of
"multipart/form-data", put the values from the http body to the query
string and use the function evbuffer_add_file(), I can hope not having
this issue ?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the suggestion. I am reading about that.
