It was built to use the required OpenSSL components.

curl does not. curl was just built to use the necessary OpenSSL components.

Well, that exact version isn't required but one set of compatible OpenSSL
DLLs
is.

curl uses two OpenSSL DLLs. It finds them using the normal Windows
procedures,
so you typically have them in a system directory or in the same dir you have

curl itself.

Separate from what? As long as curl finds the DLLs it doesn't care.

Daniel,
Thanks for responding to my email.
I've moved on beyond using curl and wrote my own scriptable web client that
handles SSL just fine.
I needed to deliver my project today with SSL functionality, and I did,
without curl.
The specifications for curl make it appear to be a great tool. I wish it
worked for me.
David
