Full ack to both, it's not a easy task ;-).

Yep i have started to look into the main.c and some other parts, what I
have seen is that this changes are a mayor code && design change.

For example:

curl url1 : --serialize -H $HEADER_FROM_PREVIOUS_CALL url2

and if we add a *small, easy to use* html-parser:

curl url1 : --serialize -d $FORM_FIELD:formvalue url2

or if we don't want to add a further lib dependency.

curl url1 : --serialize -d `get_form_field`:formvalue url2

You know ;-)
