Turns out this was a PHP issue after all. Thanks to
Linus at curl.haxx.se support for pointing me down the
right path.

I use session_start() and ob_start() in the beginning
of my conxritedwg.php. However, in my zeal to use
cURL, I completely ignored a straight PHP solution:
ob_get_contents()

Since all my output was buffered, including data from
MySQL, I simply did this:

<?php
// save the output buffer to a file

$doc_root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$fp = fopen("$doc_root/vccpmp3/dwgs/dwg$ID.html",
"w");
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
fwrite($fp, $buffer);
ob_end_flush();
?>

So, the moral of the story is if you want to capture
your OWN output and save to a file, try the PHP way
with ob_start/ob_get_contents.

However, now that I've spent over a week learning
cURL, I am definately going to use it. So many
projects, so little time....
