    libcurl is free, thread-safe, IPv6 compatible, feature rich, well

    supported and fast.

  3.2 How do I tell curl to resume a transfer?

  it can't support .pac proxy configuration either.

  Some work-arounds usually suggested to overcome this Javascript dependency:

  - Depending on the Javascript complexity, write up a script that

    translates it to another language and execute that.

  4.9 Curl can't authenticate to the server that requires NTLM?

  This is supported in curl 7.10.6 or later. No earlier curl version knows

  of this magic. Later versions require the OpenSSL or Microsoft Windows 

  libraries to provide this functionality. Using the NSS library will 

  not provide NTLM authentication functionality in curl.

  NTLM is a Microsoft proprietary protocol. Proprietary formats are evil. You

  should not use such ones.
