 * Curious if there is a reason the plugin uses Curl and not WP_Http?

 * Never mind. I see now you’re using an open source S3 PHP class. [http://undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class](http://undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class)
 * I like this plugin and it works. Long term though it’d be good to use WP_HTTP
   instead of curl. I haven’t looked through them but know there are several S3 
   plugins on .org that might have a WP_Http based S3 class to use. Just a thought…

 * WP is full of all sorts of treasure 🙂 – thanks for the response on the other
   thread too.

 * No problem sorry for the slow reply, I never tend to get emails from the support
   forum so I normally only see issues when passing by.
