looks like my problem is with the standalone unix version not the gui 
version.

i was trying to write a script to do some cgi queries from different 
info systems we have that don't talk to each other so I was basically 
hitting URL 1 , scrapping the info , then hitting url 2 with info from 
the scrape then hitting url 3 for the final parse.

checking the urlstatus always returned empty and with liburlerrordata 
the script refused to run

I was able to verify my access to the cgi using "wget url" on the unix 
cli, so I know the url is formatted correctly.


after 3 hours debuggin this with various get/load/while urlstatus 
settings i tried a simple get in the windows version and it loaded 
perfectly the first time.  so now it's a windows tool, instead of a unix 
shell script which outta make a lot of people here not want to use it :)

anyone confirm different liburl versions in the standalones?  I 
downloaded the newest standalone a few days ago.

thanks
