Hi,

I needed the external libcurl.dll, because I want to use the ldap protocol.

So I set the flag before including libcurl.pbi In my version I use a .lib file and ImportC "libcurl_External.lib"

If I use now a procedure out of the Http lib, the internal libcurl is used.

For example if I use URLEncoder() in my code and showing the version of libcurl, it results in 7.68
If I remove URLEncoder() I get 8.15 as expected.

Why ???
And how can I avoid this?

The here published version of libcurl.pbi is not affected, because the 'import' of the external dll is done via OpenLibrary().

what happens if you make an import lib to your dll rename the libcurl.lib in PureLibraries\windows\Libraries and add your renamed import lib there?
The compiler copies the used libs into it's temporary directory for the linking stage so maybe that would work.
I know that's not a fix but it's at least something you can test.

It's not a bug, as the HTTP lib uses the libcurl lib, so it links it and the linker pick the one randomly I guess.
