How custom a protocol are you talking about? If you're creating a brand-new
protocol then Eric is right--libcurl isn't going to help you much. But if your
custom protocol is identical to HTTP but replaces the word GET with "SNARF" and
adds a new header "X-Slurp" (i.e. customizations that libcurl can handle using
curl_easy_setopt) then yes, libcurl will handle that.
