Thank you for the reply. I've determined the scenario where
Chrome/Firefox works where libcurl does not. If you look at the link ->
"https://someserver/myfile123/12045%20%20GIECKE%20&%20DE%20CANADA%20Jan%2064%2072.pdf"
you will notice an added "amp;" which Chrome/Firefox appears ignore and
unfortunetely libcurl does not resulting in a corrupt downoad. Can
someone explain why this might be happening and also the best short term
fix? I assume I could just parse my link and remove the added 'amp;' but
there has to be a better solution.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric
