Yeah, I remember that, vaguely. But times have changed. Like 
Quentin, I have definitely found times that surf downloads have 
failed through curl, while they work in alternative browsers. surf 
will always have more suck than we'd like, because of the 
architecture of the web. May as well at least have it handle as much 
as possible of that web correctly.
