I followed your advise and ran cURL on Solaris with --libcurl <file>
option.
Attcahed gmail_source.txt contains the outputted source code.
Why was URL modified? Please explain added extension to the URL string

"smtp://sttp.gmail.com:587".

I attempted to create a test example based on the source output.
However, this test example hangs indefinitely or times out if time out
is set up. This is the consol output:
