RE: curl.exe: append logs on the output-file?

The problem here is that --output is what's not appending... So this change isn't going to fix Christoph's problem (since he's using --output to stick results into a file).
 
What you really need is this:
 
    curl.exe URL 2>&1 >> logfile.txt
 
or, if the 2>&1 doesn't work for some reason:
 
    curl.exe --stderr - URL >> logfile.txt
 
leave off the --output altogether...
 
If, on the other hand, you actually want separate message and error files, then try something like this:
 
    curl.exe URL >> logfile.txt 2>> errors.txt
 
--Kevin

        Thinking about it, I figure --stderr should actually always append. Anyone
        with a different opinion? Please don't tell me we need both. ;-)
        
        src/main.c line 1096 should be modified so that the fopen() uses an "a"
        instead of "w" for this to work...
