I'm working on some modifications to Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu) which is built on Squeak 0.9.3. It's not practical to port Scratch to a later Squeak, as Scratch has hundreds of mods to the base image.
I'm using CurlPlugin as there are versions that work in that old image: I'm not aware of any alternatives that have been around that long or are likely to be back-portable - any thoughts on that?

Hi,
I'm working with the Curl Plugin. It seems to work fine, except that it requires write access to the folder containing my squeak image. I've been poking around the api but can't find a way to control which folder it uses. This is a pain for shipping an app - does anyone have any clues whether I can point the plugin to another working folder?
Do you have a strong reason to use Curl? I'm asking because there are pretty good http implementations nowadays (if you need http or https) and we had bad experience with CurlPlugin (memory leak).
