Hello,

First, as read on Google Groups with a post of Mike Dupont, as my messages on this group have been moderated, Mike advises to post here, so here I am!

I've been waiting for the very last version of ubuntu 11.10, in order to install hiphop with no need to apply patches, but indeed both of them are still needed...

Concerning patch for curl, the corresponding feature request posted on the tracker of curl is:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3394168&group_id=976&atid=100976
(also info here: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/tracker-2011-08/0036.html)

But as you can see, this feature request has been closed, because main developer didn't see the need of such a new function, as an existing function multi_socket could do the trick (complete info in the issue)

As discussed with B4gder on #curl (freenode), the main developer of curl, he would like more info on the need for such a function (he's aware of current post on github, so he'll read it for sure)
=> Could you explain more the motivation of such a patch?

Of course, in order for developers to test more broadly hiphop, it would be nice to avoid to patch existing softwares... (I really want to avoid to install a patched version and break my upgrade process of ubuntu...)
