Hi again,

I have received (finally) some information from our installation site.
Apparently, they are using a product called BigIP (which they use for load
balancing). So - now my question changes a little bit. Does anyone have any
experience with load balancing and libcurl. I have no idea and would not
even know where to start but if someone can point me in the right direction
it would be greatly appreciated. In fact, I do not even know that libcurl
can work with BigIP (I think so but do not know enough to even really assert
that).

At this point in time, the client cannot actually tell what particular
product they have installed - only that they are using BigIP for clustering.
So - while that is quite vague - I am hoping someone has some knowledge or a
starting for me to investigate until I can get more information from the
client,

Thanks for any and all help,

Joel

PS - The BigIP website is http://www.f5.com/f5products/bigip/

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?

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?

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.

Does their Solaris version differ from yours?
