Flash is a great tool for mass consumer (B2C) web sites and we see nothing contradictory in using it ourselves. Curl is not nearly as ubiquitous so it seemed a bit bull-headed to insist on that everyone interested in learning about Curl download Curl. On the other hand your also right that we should provide more content in Curl. We are so focused on the enterprise where the company simply dictates the type of plug-in supported, that we tend to error on the side of caution when it comes to the Web - you have no idea if people already have your plug-in on the Web. I'll see about adding more content in Curl. All the best, Richard Monson-Haefel ----- VP of Developer Relations, Curl Inc. http://www.curl.com Hi Dion,
