I then continue the thread on the curl-users-request mailing list. Please find enclosed a second proposition of a much simpler patch (file main.diff). I changed the set_so_keepalive function into a set_keepalive function. With the recent problem encountered by Yangtse, I propose in the patch to use a --keep-alive option rather than a --no-keep-alive option (default : keep-alive disabled). [...] > o please use source code with no less than 80 characters per line I think the new patch is OK. But, I saw with a gawk command that this rule is currently not applied in several files of curl and libcurl. You will find in the attached 80.limit file the commands and the results applied against current CVS.
