You can get the latest version here:

    http://www.lacscentre.co.uk/liburl/releases.html

The updater will install version 1.1.2 on Rev 2.5 (engine version 2.6.1 
or later) and 1.0.17 on earlier versions.

The incompatibility concerns just the syntax for opening secure 
sockets, which will cause a script error on earlier engines. However, I 
don't think Andre's problem will be resolved by an update.

I haven't used the XML-RPC stuff, but have you tried using 
libUrlSetLogField and cheking whether libUrl is trying to connect to 
the correct url?
