Great! this was a pleasure.

No, because it is too rigid in a working/development environment. This
is why I did not put this in the makefile.sh. I think the README.OS400
directives are enough. Thanks anyway.

In RPG: not anymore. I used to have some in the company I used the
AS/400. But they are their property and I did not copy any of them while
I had this access, of course.

In C: there are plenty of examples in the ./docs/examples directory of
the source tree. When adapting them to OS/400, beware of EBCDIC: you can
use qadrt in your calling program (making it an ASCII program), or you
can use the *_ccsid() platform-specific wrappers that do the conversion
for you. Remember that curl data itself remains in ASCII: in example, in
read/write callbacks you have to make sure yourself the data is properly
converted from/to ASCII. There are some programming hints at the end of
README.OS400.

I've investigated long ago what can be the curl program as a *CMD: I
gave up since there are far too many different CLI options for the IBM
*CMD processor :-( And creating a CLI program for qshell only is not
very useful.

I will merge my os400 branch in the master repo during the next few days.

Thanks for your feedback.
