Thanks for the feedback. I do maintain the curl packages for Cygwin, although I do prefer to use the list (either cygwin@ or cygwin-apps@) for all communications since others can benefit. I've cc'd this reply to cygwin-apps. I will try to enable SSPI next time I build the packages. It's been a while, and an update is due. I have been putting this off because 7.16.x comes with a ABI version bump (libcurl3 -> libcurl4) which causes a bit of calisthenics to get the packaging correct, but it's not a big deal. Brian
