I've not attempted to roll my own libcURL as I'm not sure what to do to
get it to use SSL, even the docs are a little hard for me to understand
sometimes.

I work in a help desk, and I'm sorry but I use that phrase a lot when
I've not heard or read the problem exactly, but:

In more exact terms the application I've wrote does not download
anything from the server, and reports no errors. The log file I'm using
also does not report anything (even the outputdebug string log is
showing no XML, yet cURL is returning with an "A OK" response.

Next time I'm attemp to use those libs I'll post the exact error, or and
I'm also getting a compile error about the .dll.a file having too many
.text sections.

Not what I wanted to know, but I'd have to do the upgrade at some point
I suppose since some of the features in the later versions are starting
to be needed in the near future in the project I'm working on.

Well I'll hunt though the archives for information on how to compile
libcURL in MSVC 2003.net (C++) with SSL support, failing that, I'll just
add some other log commands and see if I can work out what's causing my
problems with downloads from an https server..
