I've wondered if the problem is due to the revisions in libURL in 6.6. 
But before I start asking RR about it, I want to make sure it's not 
something else. Also, I can't give them a reliable recipe because it 
isn't reproducible on demand.

Yes, success returns "200 OK". And the server also sends back data that 
starts with either "success" or "failure" so my scripts can take action. 
But the server isn't getting my request, so nothing comes back from there.

The error "application verification failure" can be found in a list of 
responses I found at <http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/verify.html> 
which indicates it is related to SSL. That document says the error is 
"unused." But someone is obviously using it. And I have 
libURLSetVerification set to false, so it shouldn't matter.

I just looked it up, I the function I need is libURULlastRHHeaders(). 
But if it isn't hitting the server I probably won't get anything back. I 
just added the headers to my error logging though, thanks for the 
suggestion.

No, it's actually used less. We're still in production so there are only 
three of us during the week. Over the weekend it's just me.
