So there was an implementation attempt - that we coulnd't accept.
That's why I asked this question: to see if there is a solution that you *could* accept that still made the relevant platform features work, by using Network.framework for DNS and for layer 4 down. To me, most of libcurl's functionality is in the higher levels of the stack: the many protocols it supports, the HTTP redirect handling, the stable ABI and API, and things like that. Obviously, you could say "yes", "no", "it depends", or even not answer at all. You don't owe me a response :). Finally, thank you so much for writing curl and libcurl. curl is absolutely awesome and while I have not used libcurl, I know it is also awesome. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
