Sure. What are the (API) alternatives then ? Using a command line option to send a protocol specific command has two problems: it isn't applicable to a programmatic API; it doesn't encapsulate & hide the protocol specifics which is I think is most of the point of using a library like CURL. (ie. having different options to delete a file using HTTP, FTP and SFTP would seem to me to be a distinct problem in the current library.)
