well, i respectfully disagree.

curl and libcurl on windows should support this option in a way that
works, by default.

as it stands, i'm left completely in the dark for something that i
don't consider an unreasonable use-case.

2hr+ request times, no data until finished.

i'm open to any solution you can think of, aside from switching to linux,
because that doesn't support my 3-monitor setup..

and how come i can send a byte back on the text/html level every 25
seconds, yet curl and libcurl
a) just ignore them until the connection is completely closed
b) don't see them as keep-alive traffic on the shortests of real internet paths?

please don't take my criticism as an insult, it's not intended as
such, and i have good respect for free-software builders.
i put out some free software of my own too and know about frustrating
edge-cases for what seems finished software.

i'm just growing more desperate by the mail here, because i'm left
without any way to do big media imports into my cms, on a flexible
infrastructure, or even at all it seems now.
