I thought your problems are because you're _not_ using libcurl but try to
figure out things under the hood on your own. But clearly I can be wrong.

I certainly don't prevent anyone from answering, but then I also asked you
several questions about why you do this the way you do and what you can
possibly gain from it. I guess that if I understood your use case better, I
could possibly provide a (better) answer.

But of course this just *me* and my views. Anyone else can always respond and
perhaps everyone else on this list already understood you fine.
