  packages.

  Many web pages do magic stuff using embedded Javascript. Curl and libcurl

  have no built-in support for that, so it will be treated just like any other

  contents.

  .pac files are a netscape invention and are sometimes used by organizations

  to allow them to differentiate which proxies to use. The .pac contents is

  just a javascript program that gets invoked by the browser and that returns

  the name of the proxy to connect to. Since curl doesn't support javascript,

  just a Javascript program that gets invoked by the browser and that returns

  the name of the proxy to connect to. Since curl doesn't support Javascript,

  it can't support .pac proxy configuration either.

  4.2 Why do I get problems when I use & or % in the URL?

  In general unix shells, the & letter is treated special and when used, it

  In general unix shells, the & letter is treated specially and when used, it

  runs the specified command in the background. To safely send the & as a part

  of a URL, you should quote the entire URL by using single (') or double (")

  quotes around it.

  quotes around it. Similar problems can also occur on some shells with other

  characters, including ?*!$~(){}<>\|;`.  When in doubt, quote the URL.

  An example that would invoke a remote CGI that uses &-letters could be:

  - Meta tags. You can write a HTML tag that will cause the browser to

    redirect to another given URL after a certain time.

  - Javascript. You can write a javascript program embeded in a HTML page

  - Javascript. You can write a Javascript program embedded in a HTML page

    that redirects the browser to another given URL.

  There is no way to make curl follow these redirects. You must either

  libraries that use it. It should be possible for everyone to use libcurl or

  curl in their projects, no matter what license they already have in use.

  6.7 What are my obligations when using libcurl in my commerical apps?

  6.7 What are my obligations when using libcurl in my commercial apps?

  Next to none. All you need to adhere to is the MIT-style license (stated in

  the COPYING file) which basically says you have to include the copyright

  your app.

  As can be seen here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/companies.html and

  elsewhere, more and more companies are dicovering the power

  of libcurl and take advantage of it even in commercial environments.
