It looks like libcurl is interpreting this as a request to log in to host
mail.com using a user of "www.url.com?email=mail". Based on the ABNF in
RFC3986, it looks like libcurl is incorrectly interpreting the URL in this
case. I'll bet it would work if you changed your URL to
"http://www.url.com/?email=mail@mail.com".
