Well, not the cache for itself but the 'kiss' c++ interface it belongs to...

This won't be diffucult to do, if it's all you need.. ;)

Yep, I understand that..

It could be annotated as 'TEMPORARY'? while waiting for the 'share system'... in
case the new API enforce its usage? Or will current users be able to link
against curl width their current code?
If you are talking about a 'brand new curl' maybe current users could still need
a cookie flush to get per-file cookie support on actual multi interface (/w
persistant connections)... may be I'm missing something.

... mmmh I'm not sure the can is *SO* rotten ;)

yep! but not having the function in the standard curl distro would force me to
mantain a 'branch'.. :(

I'm not in sutch a hurry...
things work OK for me at the moment... I can wait to get a little more infos on
the new API before I post the stuff anyway..

Cheers.
Lo.
