Probably a good idea to check for an error in the connection using
"curl_errno" and "curl_error". A failurer routine is a must when
communicating with other servers in this method as the internet is not a
fault free enviroment.

I would also suggest that a time-out of 3/4's is probably a little
optimistic, expecially when using https. Try 30 seconds.
