I get a sigsegv in curl_easy_perform() for certain URLs. I'm trying
to access a local server on port 7070, and as I tweak the URL to try
get it right, some of the combinations give me a coredump (which
abrt_server takes away, not trusting me). System is a Centos 7
setup. What should I be doing to avoid the coredump?

BTW, I know the server I'm trying to reach works, as I can access it
via curl on its host (using its REST API), and via WinInet on another
client. I can even access the REST API via command line curl on the
client I'm segfaulting on.

Details shown below. Thanks for your help.
