Thanks, the new interface is all I need now for HTTP methods. But I
also need FTP methods for some repositories, and maybe also HTTPS,
preferably with a consistent interface. Libcurl gives me this "for
free".
BTW, approx is already packaged (i.e., there's a debian/ directory and
the package builds without any error from lintian/linda). But I'm a
novice at Debian packages, so I'm sure there's a lot of room for
improvement.
