No problems.
I do have another question on the numbering of libwww versions.
When does the major number go up? That is, who decides when to
call a release 6.0 for instance.
I want to know this because I'm planning to make shared libraries
of libwww for Linux and the general policy there is that major
number only goes up if the library is binary incompatible. Is
the same true for the numbering of libwww versions?

The above didn't quite work without some modification:
/* Find a protocol object for this access scheme */
{
char * proxy = HTRequest_proxy(request);
char * access = HTParse(proxy ? proxy : physical, "", PARSE_ACCESS);
if ((protocol = HTProtocol_find(request, access)) == NULL) {
if (CORE_TRACE) HTTrace("Net Object.. NO PROTOCOL OBJECT\n");
HT_FREE(access);
return NO;
}
HT_FREE(access);
}
Thank you very much for your speedy reply.
