Might be worth a try. Well, it looks as though the --vernum option was added prior to 7.8.1, so if it doesn't work it's safe to assume that curl is too old - more than ~4.5 years old in this case. Assuming --vernum does work, is there a reasonable/portable way to compare two hex values like 070801? -- For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
