Hello!

Sorry, maybe you can help me with that?
How to specify URL properly?
Without user & pswd in url?
This works with upload fine....

that's really interesting!

I've meant, that if I use a double qoute without slash
- curl doesn't execute operations AT ALL - without
saying a word.

I know, Win is not the best, but it's the most widely
distributed OS, and if a program was created to deal
with that OS, please don't say, that there is so much
better OSes (SCO UNIX - the best =)))))) etc.) - I'm
using Win and applications for it.
I'm the fan of Microsoft - I just want to say, that
THERE IS NO _NORMAL_ OSes, AND THERE IS NO ABNORMAL
OSes - but there may be wrong hands and wrong
programms.

I hope in this problem the reason in me, not in cURL
or Win. Cause, if not - it will be fairly saying
BAD...

So, please, if you can help me with that problem,
write out how to delete file using cURL behind proxy.

I've already tried HTTP request method DELETE - it
doesn't work ("this method is not allowed
bla-bla-bla")...

Thank you for your answer and help.

P.S. proxy tunnel IS NOT allowed =( (error 400)
