[libmicrohttpd] MHD and PVS-Studio Analysis

[silvioprog]

Hi dudes.

PVS-Studio [1] is a Russian tool (Windows/Linux) for bug detection in the source code of programs written in C/C++.

The tool have been issued bugs in many popular projects like LLVM/GCC, cURL, OpenSSL, Doxygen, OpenCV, GTK, glibc, tor etc. The full list is available at PVS-Studio's inspections page [2]. It has helped the authors to fix the reported issues [3].

I have been using the free version of PVS-Studio for analyzing open source projects I use, then it reported issues [4] in "Medium level" in four MHD files. The attached tar.gz contains a few pictures showing the testing result and text files containing respective links to access each issue explanation.

If you agree with fixing those issues, I can run a full test in all MHD files and share all the reported issues (I fix the ones possible for me).
