So you mean to keep openconnect_strdup() and rename it to openconnect_set_form_field()? If combined with your earlier proposal to change ABI and have the main functions clean of any allocation it would be pretty ok. Otherwise I think that the whole thing is becoming complex. Some functions would require the strdup() (whatever its name), and some others will free your data and strdup it internally. regards, Nikos
