Nice work, Mikhail. I wrote a Delphi binding many years ago, but it is no longer maintained by me, since I don't use Delphi/FPC anymore. It's good to see someone else picking up the torch! - Jeff
Thanks. The main challenge for me (and probably non-existent in Lazarus — though I don’t know) is proper Unicode support. As far as I see, in URLs everything you need is encode to UTF-8. And what’s, for example, in headers? In file names? In HTTP responses?
I know, cURL is mostly used in REST-like services because of its flexibility, so these problems are non-existent — 128+ characters are encoded in a predictable fashion; e.g. in my service as Unicode points in JSON. But we xUSSR use quite a zoo of encodings (at least two one-byte encodings are still widely used), so this is a question of pride!
