Buggy post url cmd - socket stays open

[Yennie at aol.com]

FWIW, since this is in fact part of libURL, it is possible to edit the 
scripts in question and change their behavior if either the need is urgent or it 
doesn't get officially changed.

If you truly want the socket immediately closed, is there any reason why you 
can't check for it and close it yourself after the transfer is complete? i.e.

repeat until the openSockets is empty
    close socket (line 1 of the openSockets)
end repeat

HTH,
Brian
