Libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/) is a high quality library for

this brings up the usual suspects in terms of distribution and

Does anyone have insights about libcurl that could help us with this
decision? My understanding is that libcurl is quite widespread on Linux
so it wouldn't be a problem to just have the installer require it. Same
deal seems to be on OSX. I'm not sure what the situation on Windows is.
Ideas?
I found this page that discusses the licence issues of libcurl and its
various optional and mandatory dependencies:
http://curl.haxx.se/legal/licmix.html
Yah, Walter and I read that too, but without having used the library we
don't know exactly what builds are sensible (for example, if the user
has krb4-enabled libcurl, does that restrict us in any way? etc.)
