Can't help with this, but we were trying to use IDLnetURL to ftp a simple
PNG file. It works fine to one ftp server, put crashes IDL (seg fault
or bus error, depending on hardware) to a different ftp server. Command
line ftp works fine to both servers.
We might be doing something wrong, but we still shouldn't be able to crash
IDL. :-)
We have filed a bug report (and switched to SPAWNing a curl process).
Cheers, Ken Bowman

After getting educated about the http client protocol, I figured it
out. Basically, you find the url that to which the form will be
submitted from the 'action' field of the form, and append the field
name and value pairs to the end of that url. Here's a sample if
someone's interested:
pro websample
ourl = OBJ_NEW('IDLnetURL')
content1 = ourl->get(url='http://www.google.com', /string_array);
print, 'Contents of google.com:'
print
print, content1
print
content2 = ourl->get(url='http://www.google.com/search?q=IdlnetURL', /
string_array)
print, 'Contents of searching google for idlneturl:'
print
print, content2
OBJ_DESTROY, ourl
end
