that is not true; I've tested that already yesterday, but the reason I didnt apply it were:
- with MSVC curl doesnt build, but only the libcurl.
- with Borland you cant get it compiled at all.

from what I saw the winsock2 include in multi.h is needed for the fd_set stuff....

perhaps its better to additionally ifndef with some other, f.e.:

#ifndef DONT_NEED_WINSOCK2_H
#include <winsock2.h>
#endif

this way you can avoid the include when ever you want while we change nothing with the usual builds...?

Guenter.
