I've inherited a paypal gateway that needs to be upgraded to use curl
instead of the soon to be obsolete sdk. I'm having an issue where my
cgi dies at perform() with no error thrown. I'm using curlpp, but
have attempted with plain libcURL with same results. First and
foremost, I'm getting a warning at compilation that could be the
source of the trouble.

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libssl.so.2, needed by /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-
redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libcurl.so, may conflict with libssl.so.4
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libcrypto.so.2, needed by /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-
redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libcurl.so, may conflict with libcrypto.so.4
cp testing.cgi /www/cgi-ssl/admin/

I don't know how I would go about fixing that, I had absolutely no
part in configuring this server and I don't think any of it's been
touched since 2003.

I'm on a tight deadline here and am completely stumped. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Here's some cURL code:

  //set the headers.
                 std::list<std::string> headers;
                 headers.push_back("Content-Type: text/namevalue");
                 headers.push_back("Content-Length: " +
verisignArgs.GetLength());
                 headers.push_back("X-VPS-Timeout: 45");
                 headers.push_back("X-VPS-Request_ID:" +
std::string(uniqueID));

AddLogEntry(dbObjPtr, "INFO\tVerisign.cc\tRest Of Headers Set");

AddLogEntry(dbObjPtr, "INFO\tVerisign.cc\tInit Curl");
                 //cURLpp::Cleanup myCleanup;
                 cURLpp::Easy myRequest;
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::Url(kVerisignHost));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::Port(kVerisignPort));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::Timeout(kVerisignTimeout));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new cURLpp::Options::Header(1));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::FollowLocation(0));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::SslVerifyPeer(0));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::SslVerifyHost(2));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::ForbidReuse(true));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new cURLpp::Options::Post(1));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::HttpHeader(headers));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::PostFields(std::string(verisignArgs)));
                 myRequest.setOpt(new
cURLpp::Options::UserAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
en-GB; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/200
70725 Firefox/2.0.0.6"));

                 std::ostringstream responseBuffer;
//AddLogEntry(dbObjPtr, "INFO\tVerisign.cc\tSet up output stream.
About to perform shorthand version");
                 //responseBuffer << myRequest;

                 //cURLpp::Options::WriteStream ws(&responseBuffer);
                 //myRequest.setOpt(ws);
AddLogEntry(dbObjPtr, "INFO\tVerisign.cc\tSet up output stream. About
to perform");
                 cout << "Content-type: text/plain" << endl << endl;
                 myRequest.perform();
