Patrick, and helpful curl development folk (this is a great mailing
list, btw),

Thank you very much! I was using a little too much cut-n-paste from my
other UDF and not paying attention to the compile output.

Now I have it working on a different ubuntu box, and need to play with
the output, which is garbled.

I used this example to do storing the output of curl_easy_perform()

http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/docs/examples/getinmemory.c

All I really want is a char array of the site I fetch. Is there a better
way to do this?

Thanks!
