I have been unable to figure out how to call a WCF service (self-hosted)
from cURL. Here is what I have done:

- Download and compile libcurl.lib (7.24.0).

- Create VC++ command line project (in VS 2010) - runs fine.

- Add the following code (which also runs as expected)

     #include "stdafx.h"

     #include <stdio.h>

     #include <curl/curl.h>

     int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

     {

                printf("Hello World!\n");

                CURL *curl;

                CURLcode res;

                curl = curl_easy_init();

                if (curl)

                {

                                curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_URL,
"http://www.cnn.com/");

                                res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

                                curl_easy_cleanup(curl);

                }

                return 0;

     }

- Created another project (C#, WCF).

- Compiled and ran the WCF project which brings up the WCF Test Client and
the WCF Service Host.

- Confirmed the service by using the GetData method in the WCF Test Client.

Now I would like to make the GetData call with cURL. I have played with
various `curl_easy_setopt` options, but nothing has worked. I need some
help in determining what options to set in cURL and whether the default C#
WCF service needs to be altered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
