Hi, two questions re: LibCURL.

First, is it compatible with Julia 0.6?

Second, does it support the --data switch? For example,

‘curl [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)’ retrieves the website.

‘curl --data query=‘I’m a lumberjack and I’m ok.’ [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)’ posts ‘I’m a lumberjack…’ and then gets the website.

Is this functionality supported in LibCURL.jl? Could someone provide an example of usage?

Thanks.

IF you look at the badges on the github homepage of the package, you will see that v0.2.2 of LibCurl.jl is compatible with Julia [GitHub - JuliaWeb/LibCURL.jl: Julia wrapper for libcurl](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/LibCURL.jl)
