Probably you are right.

Attached is the new patch file.

The Makefile is essentially the same I sent you before.
The only difference is that, if you define the USEMM_LIBS, it will link
with the winmm libs and will not define the WITHOUT_MM_LIB,
while if you define USEMM_LIBS, it won't link with winmm and will define
the WITHOUT_MM_LIB

If this is ok for you, and if noone else is doing it, I'm going to fix the
VC6 project file too (BUG #957503).

>If it got no response, how could it get any cookies at all?

It's not that simple: at the beginning it gets an answer. After some
request it gets the 'Empty response' error.
Anyway, I'm going to install some proxy on my PC. I'll let you know as soon
as I'll get more useful data

Perfect! I only worry about the "WITHOUT_MM_LIB" define you now define
unconditionally.

The whole point of using the mm lib on Windows is to provide a better
(subsecond) time resolution for libcurl internal timers. Without it, you'll
loose accuracy. Is this really what the average
build-with-msvc-windows-user
wants?

Nope, nothing that I can remember or find in the CHANGES file.

So you get cookies you save to a cookiejar? Then can you show us how the
headers look like that you receive (use verbose) and how the cookie jar
looks
afterwards?

If it got no response, how could it get any cookies at all?
