Hi Alexandra,

Although I agree that it's nice to use scnprintf() the justification given
seems a bit odd: it talks of the return value but it is ignored both before
and after this patch.

Likewise for some of the changes in patch 4/4.

Also is it intentional that there is a space in the URL immediately
after 'http:' ? Maybe mangled by something. Not that it really maters
AFAIC.
