Thanks Daniel.
I downloaded the source got it going...
I ran the ftpget.c successfully, it ftp'd the file.
I switched to run the simple.c, I ran it with 3 different urls:
curl.haxx.se
localhost:8080/MyTest.html
www.yahoo.com
the example seemed to run ok(slow), the dumpit file was created, but was
empty.  Is the response from the page supposed to be written to the dumpit
file?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
