Bug 118468 – [Curl] Download fails for certain urls.

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The current Curl download implementation has a few shortcomings:

1) Downloading from secure locations fails. We need to provide Curl with the path to a certificate file (.pem file).

2) Cookies are not set in the download request. We need to give Curl the path to the cookie file.

3) When a normal load is converted to a download, some of the headers from the original request is not sent (e.g. Referer, User agent).

Looks good.  Please address my minor comments when you land!

This could be a const reference to avoid a copy.

> Source/WebCore/platform/network/curl/CurlDownload.cpp:353

You convert an AtomicString to a String in 351, then make a copy here.  Why not just do "String headerString(it->key);"?

> +    writeDataToFile(static_cast<char*>(data), size);

Why are you casting to a char*?  The function signature is "const char*".
