True, but since curl can be linked to a completely different libcurl at run time, removing the options at compile time won't be reliable. Some could be easily removed at run time instead by checking the libcurl --features, but others can only be checked by checking the output of the corresponding curl_easy_setopt call. What might be more useful is having curl display a warning if a curl_easy_setopt call returns CURLE_FAILED_INIT (or any other error code, actually). >>> Dan -- http://www.MoveAnnouncer.com The web change of address service Let webmasters know that your web site has moved
