[Edbrowse-dev] curl things

[Karl Dahlke <eklhad@comcast.net>]

This is mostly aimed at Chris, who is our resident curl expert,
and maybe should be a pm but I like keeping everyone in the loop.
Do you have time for projects, and if not can I consult with you?

Imap is an obvious curl task.
Copy fetchmail.c to imap.c and keep most of what is there,
in that imap should allow me to do, with my emails,
all the things I already do,
but add commands to invoke specific imap calls
to list folders and list the emails in folders and create folders
and so on.
Part of me thinks it wouldn't be hard to do, but part of me thinks
it's a bit more, since imap has more power.
We might need 2 letter commands,
not just the simple 1 letter commands in fetchmail.c.
Not sure bout that yet.

For downloading a file, I want to see that the header is
something other than text/html, allow the user to download,
then switch the curl callback function to write to disk, but can you switch
the callback function in mid stream?
I've already called curl_perform, and it's running,
so how can I switch the callback function in mid stream?

As per this feature, I pushed a small change so
downdir = /home/eklhad/dld
in your config file becomes same in edbrowse, the download directory.

Adam, the string push is fine.
Course the same functions are also in jseng-moz.cpp, but they haven't caused any trouble there.
