[issue1257] http operations leave binary files in /tmp (MacOS X)

[Christian Ebert]

New submission from Christian Ebert <blacktrash at gmx.net>:

$ hg showconfig extensions
$ ls -al /tmp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  admin  11 May 23  2007 /tmp -> private/tmp
$ ls -al /private/tmp/*.rsrc
ls: /private/tmp/*.rsrc: No such file or directory
$ hg outgoing http://www.blacktrash.org/hg/hgkeyword

As the dirty file ends with .rsrc I assume it's MacOS specific.

The file itself seems to contain all kinds of error messages in
a binary format:
