Curl (sharp Rom), Latest releases Options

[koan]

Hi

I have cross compiled curl and libcurl for the Sharp ROM. curl is a very useful utility for downloading/uploading anything via URLs. For example you can interact with webpages that use forms via POST and you can access webpages that use authentication. You can even just use it to simply download files.

Please find a libcurl ipk at my website.

curl 7.21.0 is now available from my website.

This is the most up to date release of curl. If you already installed my build of 7.20.1 then there is no need to upgrade unless you want to use IDN - why fix something that isn't broken ?

This version links to zlib 1.2.5 and libidn 1.18 so make sure that you get the ipks for those too if you don't have them already.

I decided to add libidn so that internationalised domain names are now supported as they are now becoming available. I am considering enabling IPv6 support next time I build it. Each time I add a dependency that curl supports, the size of the ipk must increase so I am reluctant to add all the features. Let me know if you need IPv6, LDAP, etc.
