Good, that's the direction I was thinking last night after I sent my email.

I don't mind supporting curl, if you think it's better.  It doesn't look like it takes much work
to support it, and if it's better, that's great.  It seems so easy that I wish I didn't have to go
write a bunch of fsockopen code now to support non-curl people.

BTW, we're going to want to provide link checking that sends HEAD requests, I assume curl can do
HEAD requests.  When you re-check a cached page, do you check to see if the orinal sources have
ben modified?  Or do you just grab them no matter what?  Which is the right way to do it?

I think your database changes are good, in fact I was very happy with them.
