I really can't see how coloring of > text output is any business of libcurl's. The "-i" and "-v" options (the ones outputting headers and such) are implementented by simply setting CURLOPT_HEADER and CURLOPT_VERBOSE, without any additional support from curl. So either curl re-parses the libcurl output to add colors, or libcurl outputs already colored data. I may have misunderstood things though. Cheers
