Subject: RE: CPU usage and hangups
Daniel,
	I am using cURL 7.9.4 with libcurl 7.9.4 (OpenSSL 0.9.6c). The
machine is a LINUX with Red Hat 6.2. Has dual processors (don't know the
speed but its not slow). Here is an example of the way I am using cURL.
curl -O -s -u XXXX:XXXX https://natowx.sembach.af.mil/somegifimage.gif.
I run a bunch of them under /bin/sh shell on a cronjob. would that be a
problem?
"Again, what command lines do you use? curl has no default options that make
it disconnect after a certain period of idleness, it'll try forever until
the
TCP connection is disconnected."
so is there a way to have cURL disconnect after grabbing the products I
want?
For some input, cURL is the only program we have found that I could get
products from a https connection. We tried a windows program and like
windows crashed like you wouldn't belive. Sorry for not posting theis to the
curl-users mailing list. and thanks for the quick respones. but the way, we
are y'all located at?

Thanks!

It shouldn't need that (unless you have a truly slow computer with fast
network access ;-)). What curl version on what operating system is this?
What do you do to make this happen?

Again, what command lines do you use? curl has no default options that make
it disconnect after a certain period of idleness, it'll try forever until
