Hi Daniel

Thank you for your kindly reply. It's really good news. I get such information from the ChangeLog, The GSKit is done on OS400 platform. But I guess it might work on other platform by re-compiling the source.

If convenience, could you please let me know if it's true we can just recompile the source to get GSKit support on Linux, or guide me to reach Patrick Monnerat for details

Thanks again!
Fixed in 7.32.0 - August 12 2013

Changes:

curl: allow timeouts to accept decimal values
OS400: add slist and certinfo EBCDIC support
OS400: new SSL backend GSKit
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION: introducing a new progress callback
LIBCURL-STRUCTS: new document
