Subject: curl enhancement requests
First, thank you very much for writing curl. I have found it very useful and
have persauded my client to use it instead of shellscripting around the the
FTP program. Now a couple of enhancement requests:
1) Could you please change the Makefile so that optionally, curl can be
built with a static library (libcurl.a) instead of a dynamic one? I
sometimes have to work with lame administrators that cannot cope with
dynamic library installation and this can make it difficult to deploy curl
or even get agreement on its use (for my own use the dyanamic library is
just fine).
2) Can curl take a batch command line argument that supresses the repeated
over-printing of upload statistics? For batch-mode just the final results
will do.
Thanks again for a great utility !
