The select() usage was also fixed according to his report. + + Mac OS X 10.3 says "poll() functionality for Mac OS X is implemented via an + emulation layer on top of select(), not in the kernel directly. It is + recommended that programs running under OS X 10.3 prefer select() over + poll(). Configure scripts should look for the _POLL_EMUL_H_ define (instead + of _POLL_H_ or _SYS_POLL_H_) and avoid implementations where poll is not + implemented in the kernel." + + Yes, we can probably use select() on most platforms but today I prefered to + leave the code unaltered. + Daniel (24 June 2004) - The standard curl_version() string now only includes version info about involved libraries and not about particular features.
