Firefox (by running 'make ca-bundle), or by using our online service setup
for this purpose: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
+ 1.12 I have a problem who can I chat with?
+
+ There's a bunch of friendly people hanging out in the #curl channel on the
+ IRC network irc.freenode.net. If you're polite and nice, chances are big
+ that you can get -- or provide -- help instantly.

+ 5.15 How do I get an FTP directory listing?
+
+ If you end the FTP URL you request with a slash, libcurl will provide you
+ with a directory listing of that given directory. You can also set
+ CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST to alter what exact listing command libcurl would use
+ to list the files.
+
+ The follow-up question that tend to follow the previous one, is how a
+ program is supposed to parse the directory listing. How does it know what's
+ a file and what's a dir and what's a symlink etc. The harsh reality is that
+ FTP provides no such fine and easy-to-parse output. The output format FTP
+ servers respond to LIST commands are entirely at the server's own liking and
+ the NLST output doesn't reveal any types and in many cases don't even
+ include all the directory entries. Also, both LIST and NLST tend to hide
+ unix-style hidden files (those that start with a dot) by default so you need
+ to do "LIST -a" or similar to see them.
+
+ The application thus needs to parse the LIST output. One such existing
+ list parser is available at http://cr.yp.to/ftpparse.html
