Re: [lwip-users] TCP retransmissions although packet has been recieved

Simon,

Can you please elaborate? I'm following example code from: 
https://github.com/kennethnoyens/lwipHttpClient/blob/master/httpclient.c
<https://github.com/kennethnoyens/lwipHttpClient/blob/master/httpclient.c>  

struct pbuf is a linked list and referring to the current element at top at
that list should free only that element. That's how pbuf_free is defined (or
am i totally out of understanding?)
/**
 * Dereference a pbuf chain or queue and deallocate any no-longer-used
 * pbufs at the head of this chain or queue.
 *
 * Decrements the pbuf reference count. If it reaches zero, the pbuf is
 * deallocated.
 *
 * For a pbuf chain, this is repeated for each pbuf in the chain,
 * up to the first pbuf which has a non-zero reference count after
 * decrementing. So, when all reference counts are one, the whole
 * chain is free'd.
 *
 * @param p The pbuf (chain) to be dereferenced.
 *
 * @return the number of pbufs that were de-allocated
 * from the head of the chain.
 *
 * @note MUST NOT be called on a packet queue (Not verified to work yet).
 * @note the reference counter of a pbuf equals the number of pointers
 * that refer to the pbuf (or into the pbuf).
 *
 * @internal examples:
 *
 * Assuming existing chains a->b->c with the following reference
 * counts, calling pbuf_free(a) results in:
 * 
 * 1->2->3 becomes ...1->3
 * 3->3->3 becomes 2->3->3
 * 1->1->2 becomes ......1
 * 2->1->1 becomes 1->1->1
 * 1->1->1 becomes .......
 *
