RE: Questions with curl-loader 0.53

[Shao, S. <ss...@we...>]

Thanks for your reply Robert.
Yes the proxy authentication using passwords from file is not supported for all other methods neither. But my patch is only for NTLM until now. I think it is very easy to make extension to supporting the other methods.
I think NTLM is supported by libcurl for a long time, while Negotiation Authentication is supported from libcurl 7.21.0.
I've tried with 1000 users (1000 IP and 1000 usernames) to authenticate against the proxy, and it works well.

Thanks,
Simon

They are explained in man page as well as in README.There is a sample configuration file as well.

You can compile it it with -g (make debug=1 optimize=1) option, allow core in your shell by:
#ulimit -c unlimited

get the core, inspect it and, hopefully, to find the bug.

I was using this option with -t 2 and -t 4.

I'd recommend to try it equal to the number of effective CPU cores.

Thank you for your patch very much! I'll look at it at my free timeslot.

My understanding is that proxy authentication using passwords from file is not supported for all other methods as well (Digest, Basic, etc)

that curl-loader is using for multiple connections.
What is the number of connections it works for you?
