well, i respectfully disagree. curl and libcurl on windows should support this option in a way that works, by default. as it stands, i'm left completely in the dark for something that i don't consider an unreasonable use-case. 2hr+ request times, no data until finished. i'm open to any solution you can think of, aside from switching to linux, because that doesn't support my 3-monitor setup.. and how come i can send a byte back on the text/html level every 25 seconds, yet curl and libcurl a) just ignore them until the connection is completely closed b) don't see them as keep-alive traffic on the shortests of real internet paths? please don't take my criticism as an insult, it's not intended as such, and i have good respect for free-software builders. i put out some free software of my own too and know about frustrating edge-cases for what seems finished software. i'm just growing more desperate by the mail here, because i'm left without any way to do big media imports into my cms, on a flexible infrastructure, or even at all it seems now. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
