Thanks for the feedback. That certainly led me back on track again.
In addition to adding __cdecl to the callback function, I also
explictly placed __cdecl on all functions that I called in
<libCurl.h>. Considering that libCurl always uses __cdecl calling
convention, should this change be included in the latest CVS version
so that others building Win32 applications with __stdcall doesn't run
into the same problem?
