Hi, Just a quick note regarding a bug I noticed with Libwww on Mac OS X. There is a configure check for the presence of <appkit/appkit.h> or <appkit.h> (the NeXT Application Kit). On OS X, configure sets HAVE_APPKIT_APPKIT_H and <appkit/appkit.h> is then included by Library/src/wwwsys.h. While this unnecessary (as far as I can tell) #include doesn't hurt the build of Libwww itself, it causes problems with C++ programs which use libwww, as the C++ compiler can't handle the Objective-C syntax in the included AppKit headers. My suggestion would be to remove the HAVE_APPKIT checks completely, as they appear to serve no useful value, and introduce an unnecessary dependency on an unused library. The only possibility I can think of for their presence is that maybe there was an old version of NEXTSTEP that required the AppKit to be included to pick up some functionality that would normally be in a more standard header? -Jake
