Hi Daniel:
Thanks for responding, I have a dll that uses CreateProcessW to make a call
to an exe, this exe does an HTTP_POST with libcurl, also I have no code in
libcurl that is writing to stdout, I created a callback function using
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION so that I can read some of the data that the server
sends back. I am attaching the code again here, let me know if the code
below in any case should create a popup window.

extern "C" size_t write_data(void *source,size_t size,size_t nmemb,void
*userData)
{
    return size * nmemb;
}

int Myclass::uploadFile(std::string receiverURL,std::string path,int
numAttempts)
{
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;

    struct curl_httppost *formpost=NULL;
    struct curl_httppost *lastptr=NULL;
    struct curl_slist *headerlist=NULL;
    char buf[] = "Expect:";
    bool delFile = false;
    int numAttemptsToUpload=0;

    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);

    /* Fill in the file upload field */
    curl_formadd(&formpost,
                 &lastptr,
                 CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "sendfile",
         CURLFORM_FILE, path.c_str(),
                 CURLFORM_END);

    /* Fill in the filename field */
    curl_formadd(&formpost,
                 &lastptr,
                 CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "filename",
         CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, path.c_str(),
                 CURLFORM_END);

    /* Fill in the submit field too, even if this is rarely needed */
    curl_formadd(&formpost,
                 &lastptr,
                 CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "submit",
                 CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "send",
                 CURLFORM_END);

    curl = curl_easy_init();

    /* initalize custom header list (stating that Expect: 100-continue is
not
       wanted */
    headerlist = curl_slist_append(headerlist, buf);

   /* if we have a handle proceed with the transaction */
   if(curl)
   {
          curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data);

          /* what URL that receives this POST */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, receiverURL.c_str());
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, formpost);
         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

          /* if we are here we wait
              and try the upload again till we are successful
               for now we set this to 2 minutes
                later it will be configurable
          */
          if ( (numAttempts<=defaultMaxAttempts) && (res!=CURLE_OK) )
          {
        Sleep(sleepTimeout);
        uploadFile(receiverURL,path,numAttempts++);
          }

          /* cleanup */
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);

         /* then cleanup the formpost chain */
         curl_formfree(formpost);

         /* free slist */
         curl_slist_free_all (headerlist);
    }
   return res;
}

This is the code that gets called from the dll, the dll itself gets put
inside a windows application

Let me know if you see anything obvious
