Thanks that fixed it! Although when you call it directly from the

I'd argue that fixed a symptom, but not the problem.
As others have said, launching a task to execute curl is just about
as
wasteful and inefficient as you can get.
What others haven't mentioned is that it is also a potential
security hole
or source of confusion for your users. Namely, packing up command
lines and
then executing sub shells is rife with fragility and security issues.
I do agree, but I really need to use curl, and this is not a
product. It's
for a controlled environment. I will entirely replace curl later.
If you really need to use curl, you should probably link against
libcurl and use the code directly. The API is quite easy to work with.
