Parsing of the file list is protocol-specific, though not properly standardized AFAIK. I think such ability of libcurl may be useful for some class of applications. > What's the advantage of putting all of this into libcurl? Though the patch is not tiny, major part of the code is the mentioned parser. As for the public libcurl API I don't think it is that intrusive. Beyond the specific task, it introduces a new interface for processing more objects per one URL, which may also be used by some other protocols in future.
