Oh, libcurl and tclcurl, cool. I hadn't heard of that before, despite some discussion of it on this list back in March: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05347.html Alfred, so you didn't never used curl in AOLserver? Has anyone else? Any reports or feedback either in general, in conjunction with Tcl, or especially using it with AOLserver? I found this old page where [EMAIL PROTECTED] says: http://www.vivtek.com/aolserver/vv_http.html Our HTTP client is a replacement for ns_httpget ... It is a complete HTTP client with some really nice features, and we were working on more before we found cURL, which is already written and does a lot more. (Now the intention is to make cURL into a Tcl extension.) which implies that maybe he's used curl form AOLserver. Michael, are you on the AOLserver list? Can you report on how well libcurl and/or tclcurl have worked for you? Hm, libcurl seems to do just about everything I want in a client file transfer library EXCEPT support scp and sftp. Seems that some people were looking into adding that to libcurl back in February, but nothing more recent: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-02/0102.html It would be really nice to have complete library support for http and https get and post, with cookie support, plus ftp, sftp, and scp. Curl supports all of those except sftp and scp. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any library ANYWHERE for sftp or scp. AFAIK forking off Expect (if you have to type in a password rather than using ssh certificates...) is the only way to go for either of those. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
