Mongoose crashes when no Accept header is specified

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Do the following request:
"POST /someurl/ HTTP/1.1
Host: somehost.com
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 15

parameter=value"

2. Mongoose crashes with the message:
"Unhandled exception at 0x70d8b690 in Some.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation 
reading 
location 0x00000000."

3. Do the following request:
"POST /someuri HTTP/1.1
Host: somehost.com
Accept: text/html
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 15

parameter=value"

4. Mongoose does not crash.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Mongoose should not crash.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mongoose version 2.4, Windows Vista

Greetings.

Visual studio shows the line where it crashes: line 2287 in mongoose.c

Are you sure that the problem is in mongoose code? What is some.exe? Are you
embedding mongoose? I have a feeling that you do, and inside your URI handler, 
you
access "Accept" header without checking for NULL.

Thanks for the fast reply, I will check that. Yes, mongoose is embedded.

Please re-open it if you clarify the problem in Mongoose code.
