You have gotmail running under windows? I'm actually pretty impressed by that. I imagine the problem is that windows command line doesn't know what to do with the ' character, but *nix shells know. You're patch is probably fine for windows, but the 's are needed for *nix versions. Without them, the linux shells try to interpret special things in the URL, like '&'.
Ok, it makes sense.
To work well under windows, the script would have to detect what OS you're on and do things differently.
Maybe an idea for a new version ;-)
How did you get this to work under windows? Did you download a windows version of curl?
A few years ago I searched for a solution to check hotmail automatically. I found gotmail at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gotmail and there I found a way to use it on win32 (see https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=2182).
The above method I used on version 0.8.2 and it worked until last week. On my windows 2000 server I use (at this moment): - perl v5.8.3 from http://www.activestate.com - curl 7.10.3 (win32) libcurl/7.10.3 from http://curl.haxx.se/- OpenSSL/0.9.7d (libeay32.dll and libssl.dll binaries) also from http://curl.haxx.se/ - gotmail 0.8.2 (patched and with the modification in line 581. I also changed line 79 to my($conf_curl) = 'curl -k'; so I get no problems with certificates.)
In the config file I use the option to forward the mail to an other mailaddress.
From the commandline I use "perl gotmail -c config.gotmailrc" and it works like a charm. Finally, with the taskscheduler I automate the process.
It would be nice if it keeps on working in future versions! If you need some more info, just let me know!
