Why not integrate libcurl more intimately? I can see Sara's point in wanting to be able to pipeline http streams, but re-inventing the wheel doesn't seem like a good idea either. Get the streams code to use the appropriate features in libcurl, if present. We should be able to solve the problem without writing all this duplicate code. -Rasmus On Wed, 8 Sep 2004, Andi Gutmans wrote: > Yep I concur.
