Three (me) - I was simply against the package name as SChannel, although
Marc, Yang and I didn't have a problem with the string "WinSSPI" although
what you suggested is consistent with the IDN string and people that know
me, know I have an issue with consistency ;-)

I still think it is worth having the string there when SSPI is included when
it compiled in security context mode / SSO (auth stuff as you call it) as it
is using the same library. For example, you don't remove the libssh string
when it isn't compiled with zlib ;-) I slight bad analogy but hopefully you
understand my point there.

Now without checking email history yet again, and to be honest I am just
about out of patients on this, considering the amount of time and effort I
have already put into it, I thought Marc and Daniel agreed here.

I'm a little confused here... are you talking about makefile options or the
USE_* #defines or something else?

In Visual Studio I had curl building with 1) Just the security context / SSO
capabilities and 2) These plus SChannel SSL with last night's version of the
code base - I haven't rebuilt todays changes so I don't know if something
has changed to affect that.

USE_WINDOWS_SSPI should build just the security context / SSO capabilities.
USE_WINDOWS_SSPI and USE_SCHANNEL should additionally build in the SChannel
SSL stuff.

Kind Regards

Steve
