-1.12 have form functions use CURL handle argument
-
- curl_formadd() and curl_formget() both currently have no CURL handle
- argument, but both can use a callback that is set in the easy handle, and
- thus curl_formget() with callback cannot function without first having
- curl_easy_perform() (or similar) called - which is hard to grasp and a design
- mistake.
-
- The curl_formadd() design can probably also be reconsidered to make it easier
- to use and less error-prone. Probably easiest by splitting it into several
- function calls.
