Hi, Daniel,

I agree with you here. When I made code change at the libcurl code we have, due to that it is just a patch release to fix customer issue, it is really to minimize the change at libcurl so the simpler approach is taken which is not generic enough.

Hi, Dan, good point about the back compatibility.
