Is there any benefit when we use cUrl instead of libsoup ?

(In reply to comment #2) > Is there any benefit when we use cUrl instead of libsoup ? If we can support libcurl backend well, I believe that we can consolidate network backend because efl used libcurl(backend as ecore-con) as a default. But, If I remember correctly, we dropped to support libcurl backend long time ago because of maintanance issues and lack of functionality. I am not sure whether we can take care of both backends well.

Yes, right. I remember Eric wanted to remove libcurl backend if no ports used it. I agree to use ecore-con instead of libsoup. However, I don't like to increase maintenance overhead if there is no benefit on using cUrl.
