Hello Guys,

Thanks for your replies. Linus, you said:

Yes. It is possible to run curl on your user account. There are two
possibilities:

1) You can download the source code and compile it yourself. You will need
   an account with a true login (with a shell). An FTP account will
   not do.

What exactly do you mean by true login? Here is the information on the
Shell that is included with my account:
http://www.webhostingsupport.net/telnet/shell.html. Would that be alright?

My web host is running Solaris 7 with Apache 1.3.3.

I definately need SSL

How long does it usually take to compile? Does it matter what directory it
is compiled in?

Regards,

Caroline
