Use case of Soup.Buffer.data being used as a void* data parameter for a Gio.MemoryInputStream consctructor

While trying to fetch image data from libsoup and feed it into a GMemoryInputStream constructor so that I can construct a Pixbuf object (see file attached) with it I'm getting this error:

(seed:3988): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_memory_input_stream_add_data: assertion `data != NULL' failed

(seed:3988): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_memory_input_stream_add_data: assertion `data != NULL' failed

(seed:3988): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_memory_input_stream_add_data: assertion `data != NULL' failed

My guess is that while casting it's just setting the casted value to null because seed doesn't support this?

Any suggestions for workarounds would be welcome :-)

This should be fixed in git -  the type is void*, previously it did not try and use the string version of the data..

Technically this is a gobject instrospection issue, data should be of type binary array. Which they have yet to implement a solution for.

Ping?
Comment 4 Alan Knowles 2013-07-22 06:38:47 UTC 
yes, just tested the example code with the latest version - seems to work - except twitter broke the api ;)
