I want to test the library thoroughly to make sure it's working, and running ad hoc tests isn't really going to do an acceptable job. I can see that there are Perl scripts which perform unit tests; however I suspect that I won't be able to get hold of a Perl interpreter for my mobile phone, much less a command line to run it against. I propose to produce a C version of the Perl script and use that for testing; however, as I'm new to libcurl development, I'm very happy to accept all suggestions as to whether this is the correct approach, and if it isn't, what approach I should take.
This is basically the same problem that Pierre posted about the other day: the curl test suite is not properly adjusted to run and work fine on Windows.
Also, I think you should consider doing the tests host-side and not on your target if you can't get a perl for it. Re-implementing the tests using something else seems like a lot of work for very little value.
In the project we do the tests on a large variety of platforms and since the code is pretty much the same all over, it makes it convinced that it works as good pretty much all over.
