Re: NSURLConnection and SSL

[Maxthon Chan]

Well I checked again, the current NSURLCnnection does not seem to work on my 
Ubuntu VM at all. I built it from scratch. What did I miss? I am using the 
latest libcurl and wrapping it into my NSURLConnection implementation and it 
will be used even on OS X (renamed WFURLConnection and linked against Apple's 
Foundation)

By the way, my extension will export a load of extra API which is technically a 
wrapper around libcurl functions.
