Hi Daniel,

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply - your suggestion
was very helpful and I have now resolved my problem
with SSL on Win32.

I've now encountered another issue. I'm trying to
code a multi-step request session which involves
authentication over SSL using a POST request (with
cookies enabled) and then subsequent GET requests.

The problem that I am having with PyCurl is that, once
the first POST request in a session is sent, all the
subsequent requests seem also to be POST rather than
GET, and this is confusing the server.

I have looked through the documentation and found in
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/the-guide.html a section
describing this issue, which says:

* * *
"You force an easyhandle to back to GET by using the
CURLOPT_HTTPGET option:
    curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET,
TRUE);
 
 Just setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" or NULL will
*not* stop libcurl from doing a POST. It will just
make it POST without any data to send!"
* * *

I have tried to apply the same logic in Python but am
running into trouble because of the absence of Boolean
values in Python. When I try to do
Curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPGET, 1) in Python I get an
error because the method does not accept integers. I
have also tried this with 'TRUE' instead of 1 but
strings are also disallowed.

Can you, Kjetil Jacobsen or anyone else shed any
further light on this issue?

Many thanks for your help!

Ray.
