Hi all, Just wanted to document this in case others stumble across it. On Ubuntu Lucid "curlGetString "https://<some url>" []" can sometimes fail with (CurlSSLConnectError,""). Setting SSL to version 3 manually fixes the problem: "curlGetString "https://<some-url>" [CurlSSLVersion 3]". This might also be of interest to the library maintainer, and Don Stewart whose download-curl package, because it is a wrapper around the curl package, exhibits the same behavior. thanks ... -deech
