Hi!

Just curious if anyone else has gotten libcurl 7.37.1 working with schannel
support on Windows Embedded CE 6 (ARMV4I). I had to make a few
modifications in order to get it to compile and run, but I think I'm
finally there.

I can submit a patch if you guys are interested, but here's an overview:

curl_schannel.c:
- Explicitly set cipher algorithm to RC4. Whatever the default cipher was,
it wasn't working unless I was careful to pad my messages to presumably the
correct block size (?). I'm guessing RC4 works since it's a stream cipher
instead of a block cipher...but I don't know much about crypto. Not sure
how secure RC4 is anyway...so maybe there's a better alternative.

- Fix an apparent bug in hostname verification for wildcard certs. For *.
example.com from the cert, it was comparing ".example.com" instead of "
example.com" against the server's hostname

Other:
- A few small mods to allow to libcurl to build for WinCE 6 (eg, use
send()/recv() instead of write()/read()). Not sure if this is a general
issue with WinCE 6 or just with the SDK that I'm using.

Comments?
