Sorry for jumping in here, but the above advice confuses me. I'm not
very familiar with Qt, but from what I see at
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qtcore.html QtCore is a user interface
API. LIbcurl is a multiprotocol file/data transfer library.  QtCore
doesn't seem to implement any API for that.  If networking is needed
for the application then Libcurl is a very good (and widely used)
library for that.
