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 7.21.3 is now available as an ipk to download.

Support for gopher is now included. curl releases include many small tweaks to the various protocols, e.g. ftp, where servers may interpret the protocol in inconsistent ways so if you have been unsuccessful using curl in the past it may work for you now.

In this package I updated OpenSSL to 1.0.0c and libssh2 to 1.2.7. I also made an ipk for libidn 1.19. I haven't enabled IPv6 yet but surely this will become important soon. I note that for the Sharp ROM you will require a new kernel and kernel module, e.g. from http://software.nautilus6.org/Zaurus/zrom.php

Another interesting protocol I could enable is RTMP, used for media streaming. Let me know if you need it.
