FAQ: refreshed some phrases

  supervised in any way by the project.

  We still get help from companies. Haxx provides web site, bandwidth, mailing

  lists etc and sourceforge.net hosts project services we take advantage from,

  like the bug tracker. Also again, some companies have sponsored certain

  parts of the development in the past and I hope some will continue to do so

  in the future.

  If you want to support our project, consider a donation or a banner-program

  or even better: by helping us coding, documenting, testing etc.

  never use it.

  In May 2012 Daniel did a counting game and came up with a number that may

  be completely wrong or somewhat accurate. 300 million!

  1.11 Why don't you update ca-bundle.crt

  The ca-bundle.crt file that used to be bundled with curl was very outdated

  (it being last modified year 2000 should tell) and must be replaced with a

  much more modern and up-to-date version by anyone who wants to verify peers

  anyway. It is no longer provided, the last curl release that shipped it was

  curl 7.18.0.

  The ca cert bundle that used to shipped with curl was very outdated and must

  be replaced with an up-to-date version by anyone who wants to verify

  peers. It is no longer provided by curl. The last curl release ever that

  shipped a ca cert bundle was curl 7.18.0.

  In the cURL project we've decided not to attempt to keep this file updated

  (or even present anymore) since deciding what to add to a ca cert bundle is

  That is an OpenSSL binary built for Windows.

  Curl uses OpenSSL to do the SSL stuff. The LIBEAY32.DLL is what curl needs

  on a windows machine to do https://. Check out the curl web site to find

  accurate and up-to-date pointers to recent OpenSSL DLLs and other binary

  packages.

  2.4 Does curl support SOCKS (RFC 1928) ?

  3.3 Why doesn't my posting using -F work?

  You can't simply use -F or -d at your choice. The web server that will

  receive your post assumes one of the formats. If the form you're trying to

  "fake" sets the type to 'multipart/form-data', then and only then you must

  use the -F type. In all the most common cases, you should use -d which then

  receive your post expects one of the formats. If the form you're trying to

  submit uses the type 'multipart/form-data', then and only then you must use

  the -F type. In all the most common cases, you should use -d which then

  causes a posting with the type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

  This is described in some detail in the MANUAL and TheArtOfHttpScripting

  3.6 Does curl support ASP, XML, XHTML or HTML version Y?

  To curl, all contents are alike. It doesn't matter how the page was

  generated. It may be ASP, PHP, Perl, shell-script, SSI or plain

  HTML-files. There's no difference to curl and it doesn't even know what kind

  of language that generated the page.
