Is this an http or ftp url (i.e. not a file url)?

If so, is "requested" returned in "the result" or in the "it" variable?

I'm asking because "requested" is one of the "states" of the variable 
in libUrl that tracks the status of a  request and eventually is 
returned as "the result". However, it should be set to empty or an 
error message before the request completes.

Can you log the activity (libUrlSetLogField) and see if it reveals 
anything?
