Indeed - is there a list of existing ports anywhere? (googling "libcurl port" just gets swamped with references to "port" in the "IP port" sense.) :-( I'm not "comitted" to a particular stack - but ones like Nichelite, LwIP, uIP, etc tend to be the ones touted by the microcontroller manufacturers... > Your mileage may vary, but be forewarned that the libcurl porting effort may > take longer than you think, and may require a good level of support from the > supplier of the stack. That kind of figures - thanks for the heads-up. Maybe I'd be better off looking at some of the simpler entries at http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/competitors.html ? ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
