We still get help from companies. Haxx provides web site, bandwidth, mailing
lists etc and sourceforge.net hosts project services we take advantage from,
like the bug tracker. Also again, some companies have sponsored certain
parts of the development in the past and I hope some will continue to do so
in the future.

1.11 Why don't you update ca-bundle.crt
The ca-bundle.crt file that used to be bundled with curl was very outdated
(it being last modified year 2000 should tell) and must be replaced with a
much more modern and up-to-date version by anyone who wants to verify peers
anyway. It is no longer provided, the last curl release that shipped it was
curl 7.18.0.

3.3 Why doesn't my posting using -F work?
You can't simply use -F or -d at your choice. The web server that will
receive your post assumes one of the formats. If the form you're trying to
"fake" sets the type to 'multipart/form-data', then and only then you must
use the -F type. In all the most common cases, you should use -d which then
receive your post expects one of the formats. If the form you're trying to
submit uses the type 'multipart/form-data', then and only then you must use
the -F type. In all the most common cases, you should use -d which then
causes a posting with the type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

of language that generated the page.
