It's hard to say exactly what is happening. But until the second 
click produces a result, any subsequent clicks will produce the error 
you got. With "get url" (or its equivalents), only one url can be 
requested at a time.

How long did you wait after the second click before clicking again? 
To know if something has gone wrong, you'll have to wait until at 
least as long as the socketTimeout interval. If you need to prevent 
users repeatedly clicking a button that gets a url, you should 
disable it until the current request has completed.

If you still think something is wrong (i.e. there is no result 
however long you wait), make sure you are using the latest version of 
liburl (currently 1.0.9). It's available at:
