Yes it does. I've been using this feature for about a year.

Well, I agree, but for the download event, as long as the output of the
cURL call is quite binary (did it work ? or did it not ?), it's easy to
know about any failure.
For example, on error, my log shows :
May 30 19:20:00 yomama rdcatchd: Unknown CURL Error [28]: Timeout was
reached
May 30 19:20:00 yomama rdcatchd: download of
/tmp/rdcatchd-download-3.mp3 returned an error: "Unspecified error", id=3
... rdcatch interface shows a red line, stating that the event failed.
It would be nice to have this failure triggering an e-mail, just saying.
Hoggins!
