I tried to contact Mr Hirotaka Matsuyuki,however his email address seems to be invalid. If someone knows the proper address would you mind to let me know? I’ve tried the libcurl bindings from him in both forms from [http://www.d1.dion.ne.jp/~matuyuki/ruby.html](http://www.d1.dion.ne.jp/~matuyuki/ruby.html) and from [http://rox-ruby.sourceforge.net/cms.php/curl](http://rox-ruby.sourceforge.net/cms.php/curl) both have some problems, I’d like to report to him.

I posted about it here at the time.

When I couldn’t get any response with the patch, I posted up a patched copy on my site [2]. IIRC it worked quite well.
