Are they only using Solaris (you said "Sun box")? Are your app using a
static
libcurl or do they possibly have a different libcurl version in their end?

JCT: They are using Solaris - I will get version info tomorrow. It is the
shared object version that I deployed. They do not have libcurl on that
machine.

They're basicly trying to get a URL from localhost then? Are you using the
multi or the easy interface in your app? Do they always get this problem
whatever URL they try to get data from?

JCT: For testing purposes - yes - but they cannot hit any other URL either
JCT: I am using easy calls - they make very - well -easy
JCT: Correct - they cannot connect to any URL from that computer

I can't explain that. grepping through the code only reveals one single
place
this code is used. Perhaps this is the result of an uninitialized return
code
variable or something.

JCT: I will try to investigate but it did seem odd that
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY error was returned. I do init that value to 0
prior to setting it but who knows. I will need to spend a bit of time.

Does their Solaris version differ from yours?
JCT: As above - I will check.

Thanks for the help.

Joel

PS - I have been using libcurl for half a year in a number of other
situations and never a problem. curl is good.
