CURL on Windows Doesn't Work in PHP 5.2.14 ISAPI

Just a quick post to let everyone know what I just found out- the version of CURL (php_curl.dll) that ships with PHP 5.2.14 for Windows ISAPI doesn't work!  That's right- it doesn't work.  I tried the MSI PHP installer package, manual installs, moving dll files into Windows and System32 directories all to no avail.  The culprit: a bad version of php_curl.dll (at least that's my best guess).  The other culprit: using ISAPI, but I don't have time to figure out FastCGI at this point.

Here are some resources that helped me realize what was going on:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3492147/problem-installing-php-curl-in-windows-7-64bit
• http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52704
• http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52705
• And PHPRC variable - http://www.google.com/search?q=phprc+variable
