For anybody that needs to do URL access and is finding
limitations with NSURLHandle, you might want to check out
CURLHandle, available at:
<
http://curlhandle.sourceforge.net/>
This is a public domain Cocoa class that subclasses NSURLHandle
and wraps around "curl". It can be used for HTTP PUT, GET, and
POST, and also ftp and really anything else the curl handles.
It also knows about HTTP proxies, something lacking in
NSURLHandle.
CURLHandle is the technology under the hood in Watson
<
http://www.karelia.com/watson/>, and is now being used by a
number of other developers for URL data transport.
This 1.5 release is significant in that it contains new
functionality used in Watson 1.5, new functionality submitted by
other contributors, and that it is now packaged as a Framework,
making it easier to integrate into your own project.

---------------
Release notes for this version:
* This will likely be the last version with Mac OS X 10.0 support.
* Packaged CURLHandle as a standalone framework. There are now
two projects -- CURLHandle.pbproj, which is used for building
the framework, and CURLHandleTester.pbproj, which builds the
testing application.
* The process for building an application that uses CURLHandle,
and the process for building the framework itself, have changed;
see the DevNotes.txt file.
* added CURLHandleCreatedNotification. Post a notification when
a CURLHandle is created. That way, your app can be notified
when a CURLHandle is created behind your back -- this is handy
if you want to load and display a Web page that has images....
* added url method to get the NSURL from the CURLHandle
* Updated the DevNotes.txt file significantly to make it easier
to build CURLHandleTester
* Added setPostString: in case your post isn't in dictionary form.
* Added a variation of setPostDictionary where you can specify
the string encoding for the POST.
* added setAllowsProxy, whether to use the proxy settings or not
* Some leak cleanup (though there seems to be a leak with ports
and run loops; this has been reported to Apple)
* Added setRange, setNoBody, setIfModSince to CURLHandle+Extras
(thanks to Tom Waters)
* Added PUT abilities (thanks to Tom Waters)
