So it seems that it would be quite valuable if the documentation were as clear as the source comment is about the side-effects of setting POSTFIELDS. And as there are a few other similar side-effects to setting other options, it would be helpful to document those as well.

What comment are you referring to? What libcurl version are you using?

In current libcurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS set (to anything) implies a POST. Thus if you set POSTFIELDS to NULL _after_ setting HTTPGET to 1, it still will end up in a POST.

I don't see anything in the docs that says setting POSTFIELDS to NULL is a good idea if you don't want to send a POST.

So, can you please tell us exactly how you suggest we alter/change the docs to make the behavior better described?
