Hi Daniel...

In one case the proxy can handle it. In the other case, the resolution is
via the hosts file on my computer, because there is no dns name for the
target. Is there a way I can get libcurl do the local resolution for me, or
do I need to do it myself before I pass it in to the curl_easy_setopt?

Thanks,

...Karl
