All Windows APIs have been natively UTF-16 since Windows 2000 and the non-Unicode variants are just wrappers around them. Only Windows 9x doesn't understand Unicode without the UnicoWS DLL. As later Visual Studio versions cannot target Windows 9x anyway, using the ANSI API doesn't really have any benefit there. This avoids issues like KNOWN_BUGS 6.5. Ref: curl#2120 Closes

I suspect there are a number of places where we pass char strings to windows API calls without calling the ANSI specific version. Maybe I'm wrong though. |

Those have been fixed with d40f4e1 almost two years ago. I've been using only the Unicode version of curl ever since then (and of libcurl since 2011). |

Ok let's try it out. |

OK, thanks! |
