Indeed, I am sorry for this. I could have corrected this about 10 years ago or so.

For info: OpenSSL started to make all internal structures opaque but hesitated
for a long time to activate this behaviour.
One can actually still include this internal structures but this is pretty ugly.

The program was made in order to be able,to use a veryt small footprint to access a server:

All information about the URL to go is inside the certs that are in the PKCS12, and
the server can provide a definitive URL in the call back.

by doing curl_easy_setopt(p->curl, CURLOPT_URL, accessinfo);
in the callback. This works becaus the http request has not yet been prepared
because Daniel had accepted a small modification almost 15 years ago.

Have fun.
Peter
