What are you saying? Both curl and libcurl are available for windows.

  What percentage of machines would have it? I doubt it's higher than 1% even for programmers. I also didn't mention earlier that curl is probablly not a replacement for an http library. There is some overlap in use cases but neither can replace the other.

    I think you're assuming that "use curl" means "shell out to /usr/bin/curl", which is, of course, a terrible idea. I'm pretty sure the gp was instead suggesting that you should use libcurl, which is the library that powers curl-the-command-line-utility.
