A zero-copy interface was on the to-do list (literally) for a long time: 1.1 Zero-copy interface Introduce another callback interface for upload/download that makes one less copy of data and thus a faster operation. [http://curl.haxx.se/dev/no_copy_callbacks.txt] It was removed from the list a few months ago, presumably due to lack of interest. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
