Linked files not retrieved with list_shared_links while files exists in dbx and appears as linked
Hi all! Out of contest, i'm on the way to release a new wordpress plugin on wp repo, with a custom chooser (that i maybe will publish on github also, because the chooser is a standalone js piece of ...

Here again for a question:
it seem to me that the cursor return on results, even if the first call not retrieve 200 files?
I remember (maybe i'm wrong) that each curl retrieve 200 files.
So asking me why, if the first call not retrieve almost 200 files, it return by the way a cursor and has_more set as value 1.
???
I'm wrong? I get all working, after i apply a count() to the first call: i then will go to iterate only if files are more then 200, and not if the has_more is false (because it return 1 on first curl even if there aren't more then 200 files). Isn't it?

So just an hint to all cool people that eventually will fall into my same mess:
1) memo that the cursor ever return, and you need to count retrieved links to iterate or stop the iteration (this is true using http with php curl). I have forget this after long time (+ then 2 years), and i've lost my time behind this stupid thing another time now.
2) memo that maybe error,
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
can come out like in my case: set php ini to almost 60 sec, or you'll maybe thought like me, that the code was wrong looping in some part.
I will add a preloader for the curl execution time. I realize it is necessary.
My cache class was wrong, and the recursive function was failing in a specific situation.
Just to let know that now all is working like a charm.
... as we like to say: hope this will save an headache to someone else!
