Daniel:
  
  Thanks for getting back to me
  The code sniplet I provided wasn't quit correct.
  I hand typed it rather than cut and paste, thus missing a ')'
  
  I do perform a getinfo after the perform, and I'm not getting it to
  return anything. I'm expecting something like a 404?
  
  Is there settings that would affect the outcome of getinfo?
  
  Jamie

Sure, curl downloads what you ask it.

yes

Did that code really compile? It is completely wrong. After your transfer, do:

  long code;

  curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE, &code);

... and then 'code' will contain the HTTP response code from your request.
