cURL cannot resolve HOSTNAME

[Huub Fleuren]

Hi List,

I was wondering what is the recommended version of the cURL library
for any mapserver build

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/win32_compiling/?searchterm=curl,
does not provide the information

i read  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1504#c4
and i thought, if mapserver isn't adapted to some issue here, what is
the recommended version?


The error i got on a server is mapserver 4.8 rc-1 with libcurl.dll
version 7.11.1.0
The same library on the same hosting server worked (and still works!) 
for mapserver 4.5


from mapserver.log

Thu May 11 15:50:17 2006 - msHTTPExecuteRequests(): HTTP request error.
HTTP: request failed with curl error code 6 () for 
http://anwb.geodan.nl/sld/91.xml

that is: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html

CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)

Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.
