webhttpd for more than 9 threads

Introduction

The distributed version of motion 3.2.4 fails to set camera status if the camera thread number is more than 9. This patch adjusts local pointers to permit dozens of threads to be controlled. It is untested, but should work up to any number of threads supported by the rest of the code

Description of Patch

Simple patch file. It is against version 3.2.4 downloaded March 2006.

Installation of Patch

Please review the patch and include it in test versions before distributing. I am not a full time programmer.

It goes in webhttpd.c in function handle_get.

Discussion and Comments

I have been using a similar patch, for only two digits, successfully for six months on our site. Using scripts and crontab we can turn the cameras on or off multiple times daily.

I've patched motion , but not with your patch . Now web interface allow up to 99 threads , i've tried with 18 threads and works fine .

If you want to test it , take the last daily snap.
