Thanks. The world with cURL is better than without it, there is a lot of work that your
team put into this library, and many people, including myself are using it. As any
other software cURL has its own strengths and weaknesses and I'm only glad to make a small
useful contribution into your project to make it better. I contacted
you first in private because it is not always that developers like bug like this to appear in
public before the new release is going to fix the issue. I wanted to
help to make cURL better and not to damage it or it's developers or
it's users.
