Sorry, yes. I should have started this whole thread with my ultimate goal. I want to support SFTP connections via libcurl without requiring that the host be "known" before hand. I was hoping that I would be able to use the key function to tell libcurl that it was ok to connect to a host for which there was no match.
I don't want to waste anyone's time if this is not possible with libcurl for philosophical or other reasons, but if it is possible, it would be very convenient. _murat On Feb 21, 2011, at 1:02 PM, Daniel Stenberg wrote: > On Mon, 21 Feb 2011, [email protected] wrote: > >>> ... and if you read that example source code again, you'll see that it >>> makes no effort at all to verify that the server is indeed a known host... >> >> Indeed, that is the behavior I am trying to emulate.
