I got it working in a really backhanded mongolian clusterfluke way. I am calling an External action, which calls a Bash script which calls CURL and writes the results to a file. Then reading that file.
It works, but it shouldn’t be that hard. Or take that long. Now that I’ve got it out of the way I will follow Steve and Robert's advice and purchase a new server (I can’t mess with the existing one), installing a newer OS, Terascript 7.1.5 and doing this the proper way. However I won’t be at all surprised if I meet another showstopper along the way.
