Yes but the version of Curl is displayed as 7.9.5 which appears is before
'--digest' was added as I get an option unknown error. I've explicitly
checked the version of libcurl and its 7.16.3. I'm not sure why I've got
different versions but I will download the latest version of curl and test
again from the command line.

doesn't just work for you.

The curl part of the code is essentially:

curl = curl_easy_init();

if(curl) {
                
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, userPwd);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);

        if (sessionCookie != NULL){
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, sessionCookie);
        }
        
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, WriteHeaderCallback);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER, (void *)&headerChunk);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,
WriteResponseCallback);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, (void *)&responseChunk);

        headers = curl_slist_append( headers, "Accept: text/xml" );
        headers = curl_slist_append( headers, requestMethod );
        headers = curl_slist_append( headers, "Content-Type: text/xml" );

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, requestContent);

        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

Thanks again for your help.
