'Had' a flaw , its been updated. Don't take this in offense Im just
defending my new favorite compiler. This is the first issue I've had with
it yet , and the author of the compiler promptly fixes any problems that
come up.

In a recent DDJ article ( Last august i think ) , DMC was benchmarked
against both of these and produced smaller executables ( in size ), faster
code, and compiles extremely fast (
http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/wx/wxhatch/wxMSW_Compiler_choice.html )

By prepending http:// to the string, it fails a couple lines earlier in
another sscanf, so im pretty sure its a problem with the library function
sscanf, Ill post the Makefile when its fixed, add yet another compiler
option to the great libcurl!

These were printed before the sscanf, thats where its crashing.
