The specs I found online suggested encoding the user name and/or password,
but libURL still choked on it with an "invalid url" rror wqhen I tried using
a put command.

Did you resort to using the libUrlFtpUpload command to get around what may
be overzealous error-checking in libURL in response to "put"s?

Either way, while using that method no longer throws the "invalid url"
error, I'm still getting errors (yes, I'm testing while logged into AOL as
their docs suggest).

It may be a typo in my code.  At least I know that someone has successfully
logged into AOL using libURL....I'll keep trying...
