Any other constants will get simply get the "undefined constant" warning with E_ALL and cURL will complain that the constant doesn't exist when curl_setopt() is used, at least this is the current plan for auto-generation. I'm also debating just having a standard (generated from the latest stable cURL version) file, in case Perl is not present on the users system (but if Perl isn't present on your system - that's pretty bad :) -Sterling -- Sterling Hughes <sterling@bumblebury.com> Did I help you?
