Hi Daniel Stenberg,

I am actually integrating cURL with OpenVXI.

So far, I get the basic stuffs working. I could just give a few
prelimary comments.

As we know, cURL lacks the caching mechanisms as offered by libwww. For
some applications, this kind of caching is essential.

I also think that the cookie support of cURL is rather limited without a
  full programmatic API support. This issue is still fine for me right now.

I am also looking for URI parsing capabilities as offered by libwww's
HTParse module (http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTParse). Specially I need
to construct an absolute URL from a relative URL and a partial URL. I
understand that URL parsing is not offered by cURL, but is there any
suggestion for other URL parsing libraries? I do not want to use libwww
just for its URL parsers.

Of course, cURL beats libwww for its simplicity, multi-threading support
and most importantly an active development community. Thank you!

Regards,
Tony Cheung
