CURLHandle 1.7 released
CURLHandle is a public domain Cocoa class for accessing URLs via all HTTP methods as well as FTP.
For anybody that needs to do URL access and is finding limitations with
NSURLHandle, you might want to check out CURLHandle, available at:
http://curlhandle.sourceforge.net/
This is a public domain Cocoa class that subclasses NSURLHandle and wraps
around "curl". It can be used for HTTP PUT, GET, and POST, and also ftp
and really anything else the curl handles. It also knows about HTTP
proxies, something lacking in NSURLHandle.
CURLHandle is the technology under the hood in a number of Internet-Savvy
Applications, including:
This 1.7 release wraps around the latest version of curl (7.10.2) and adds
additional Jaguar-specific support such as SSL (https:) capability.
** If you'd like to keep up on all CURLHandle developments, please
subscribe to the CURLHandle "Yahoo" Group. See the CURLHandle web site for a sign-up form.
Full Release notes for this version:
- Wraps around curl 7.10.2.
- Add setStringOrNumberObject:forKey: so that you can specify an
integer NSNumber as well as an NSString. Retained setString:forKey:
for backward compatibility. - Adjust project for building under Mac OS X 10.2. (Project needs to
link to a few more libraries). However, you will need to build curl
under 10.1 if you wish your application to run under 10.1; see
"DevNotes.txt". - Added "curl_easy_setopt([self curl], CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);" to
setPutFile: to make FTP PUT easier (thanks to Mike Schrag). - Added setLowSpeedTime, setLowSpeedLimit methods to deal with timeout
issues (thanks to Steven W. Schuldt). - Got SSL working, as long as you are building curl and CURLHandle
under 10.2.
Shreve Systems discontinues Mac sales
Shreve Systems, one of the best sources for hard to find Mac parts and older Mac systems, is shutting down their Mac sales department.
According to their Website:
After 24 years of impeccable service to the Apple and Macintosh community, we at Shreve Systems will be closing our doors and focusing our efforts into bringing the same level of renowned service to our sister company, Shreve Audio. Shreve System has enlisted the professional services of Remarketing Associates and will be conducting a public auction to liquidate all of our remaining inventory. This auction will be held DEC 13 2002 at our warehouse at 1200 Marshall st. Shreveport. La.

Shreve Systems was always a good place to find a motherboard or power supply for your old discontinued Mac.
Thankfully Sun Remarketing is still around and still a great source for old systems & parts.
