The ucb WebDAV module was their only user, so using Curl as the HTTP(S) library, allowed apr, apr-util and serf to be removed as dependencies. The total size of the AOO binaries decreased by about 0.5%. Curl has also turned out to be a lovely library, permissively licensed, easy to build, exceptionally well documented, integrates well with OpenSSL, and easy to upgrade. In cases where we needed to understand some internal details, the Curl code was well structured and easy to understand. Regards Damjan
