Daniel,

Thank you for responding.

Last night I discovered why the SSL version of curl would not work. It
required a DLL that has changed (name) or in other words, needs an old
version of OpenSSL.

I executed cURL in an odd way and finally got an error message - it was
asking for the DLL, libssl32.dll. Using google I was able to locate the
binaries for this DLL and its companion libeay32.dll, but these appear
to be OpenSSL 0.9.6d (I tried to build the source with newer openssl but
had problems ... this must be the reason for the cURL beta source).

I was providing OpenSSL 0.9.6g - since that is the most recent source.
I have not been following the development of OpenSSL long enough to know
of the apparent API change.

I can now use this version of cURL to experiment but have to keep the
binaries together.

I was going to place a note on the list after I managed to build a newer
version, but I have not been successfull - I got distracted.

Thanks again,

Chris.
