All, Freshly subscribed to the list and a quick search of the archives didn't turn up much, so please forgive me if this is a trivial issue.
I'd like to remove the dependency darcs has on libcurl. The HTTP-3000 package (on hackage at http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HTTP-3000.0.0) seems sufficient to replace curl. My motivation is due to the proxy server at my workplace. It's an NTLM authenticating proxy, which means each connection needs to be authenticated. Libcurl probably can do it, but at the expense of giving my password. I don't like providing my password to programs, so I am not able to use darcs to get remote repositories. HTTP-3000 is capable of doing it without a password. A couple of questions/comments: 1) Does this sound like a good idea? 2) The c binding to libcurl configures caching parameters - is caching support provided by libcurl and does darcs rely on it heavily? 3) I'm on Windows and unable to test on other platforms. I'm pretty sure the HTTP 3000 library is cross platform though. Are others able/willing to test on different platforms? Thanks for any and all feedback!
