Hi,

Late last night I did a bit of a hunt around the net looking for a 
library to replace the euTcp4u http4u_get_file() function that fails
with the HTTP 1.1 protocol web servers.

I found "Curl" and the excellent library behind it "LibCurl".

So now there is an euLibCurl! (ie. a Euphoria wrapper)

euLibCurl is a very early wrapper that can replace the tcp4u 
get_file function.  It isn't a drop in replacement for the tcp4u 
function - you'll need to recode any existing apps.  You'll be glad
you did as LibCurl is much much better!

LibCurl has many many options which I might add in the future, but for
now it can be used to download web pages/files from the web (including
through a proxy and receiving pages/files stright to memory / 
sequences).

Since this is such a quick release I can't promise not to change the
current functions.  So don't get too involved with it without sending
me a message! 

euLibCurl comes with 2 demo programs and simple doco.

It can be downloaded from my web page below.

I'd love to hear from the people you had trouble with the tcp4u 
functions and see if euLibCurl works! :)

Any questions, comments, bug reports, typos etc gladly accepted :)

Thanks,

Ray Smith
