Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that.

I'm new to both writing Apache modules and to using libcurl, and when I was testing my prototype, I was getting that segfault, and had *assumed* that the segfault was occurring because there might be problems with memory allocation, as Apache has a pool mechanism which I had run into problems with earlier (before trying to integrate libcurl into my module).

But when you said what you said ( :) ), I went back and ran Apache under GDB, and noted that the callback was returning a CURLE_WRITE_ERROR. I googled that, and also realized that the sample (the link I pointed to earlier) I had started with wasn't returning a byte/char count from the callback (causing the curl error - http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-01/0280.html)

So, I just added an appropriate return to the callback, and now it works :)!!

Thanks,
Jim
