Daniel,
Thanks you for your prompt reply.

The files that are affected by this seem to be completely random. I am
calling curl in the following manner:

[Script 1 -- build the 'get' list]

curl
"http://localhost/sbygad61backup/totalrew.nsf/Printable+Order?OpenView&Expan
dView&Count=2000" -S > career-forsearch.txt

(repeat 19 times for all databases - BT)
(Note: the -S option here was added for debugging, normally, it is only run
with the -s option for silent output).
(Note: This script is hardcoded with the values above).

[End Script 1]

[Script 2 -- process the 'get' list to get the docs]

#!/usr/bin/sh
curl
"http://localhost/sbygad61backup/totalrew.nsf/0/00b79edd7ae7947d85256db7004e
7f1e?OpenDocument" -S >
aedc1HealthCareEnrollmentChooseWellDecisionCenter.html
curl
"http://localhost/sbygad61backup/totalrew.nsf/0/4e5b921efffee24085256db70050
06d5?OpenDocument" -S > aedc2HealthCareEnrollmentFindaPlanthatFits.html

(repeat for each document to be gotten - BT)
(Note: the -S option here was added for debugging, normally, it is only run
with the -s option for silent output).
(Note: This script is dynamically generated from an HTML file output, and
can change from run to run. I have reviewed the .sh file and it appears
syntactically correct, each time).

[End Script 2]

I'd be happy to upload my scripts in their entirity, but I'm not sure that
is where the issue lies.

Thank you again for your assistance,
Blake Thompson

Is it always the same pages that become 0 bytes? What command line switches
are you using to curl?
