cURL cannot resolve HOSTNAME

[Huub Fleuren]

Hi List.

Mapserver 4.8.3 with libcurl-7.15.0 solved this issue (sticking to gdal 
1.3.0). The info is in nmake.opt of the 4.8.3 sources.
I got hold of the binary distribution thru john (from buildkit 
supposedly), but it cannot be downloaded anymore from curl (7.15.3). 
Maybe that goes too.

Regards,Huub
