Thanks! I've cc'ed my reply to the curl-library list which seems more suitable
for further discussions about this patch.
My comments on the patch:
o I can't comment on the actual function as I have no GSS-capable socks proxy
to test against nor have I checked out it is supposed to work. I just take
your word that it works!
o It doesn't follow the curl coding style: too long lines, different indent
level etc.
o The check_sspi_err() function should be static and has the open brace
positioned like we don't do in curl code, but most importantly it is very
repeatitive with many almost identical lines. Clearly that can be written
nicer, which for example only one failf() call using a name pointer set
by the switch(), or possibly the names could just be in an array that you
lookup using the 'major_status' variable or similar.
o I think 65600 bytes is a tad bit much to allocate on the stack and would
rather see such a large chunk be allocated and thus subsequently freed.
