Hi Daniel,
Thank you very much for answer, much appreciated.
I hope if you kindly let me know where I can find the documented part you mentioned and also if you could let me know when you are planing to make curl able to handle a situation like this. I wonder if there a private service where I can pay for that to be made on the way I want, because I will be using it on a project. I'm not a c or c++ expert to know how I can me diff/patch to curl.
Thank you again Daniel and I will looking for you response soon.
