there was a typo in my last revision...$usrl is not the same as $url, believe it or not...

Sorry 'bout that...

Code:
-> lat="37.451"
lon="-122.18"

-> lon="-122.18"

-> url="'http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat='${lat}'&lng='${lon}"

-> echo $url                                                                
'http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat='37.451'&lng='-122.18

-> url='http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat='${lat}'&lng='${lon}  

-> echo $url                                                              
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=37.451&lng=-122.18

-> echo 'http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat='${lat}'&lng='${lon}
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=37.451&lng=-122.18

CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options						 CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_NOBODY - do the download request without getting the body SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt); DESCRIPTION
A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S), this makes libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking to transfer the body data. Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body. DEFAULT
0, the body is transferred PROTOCOLS
Most EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); /* get us the resource without a body! */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1L); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Always RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK SEE ALSO
CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3), CURLOPT_POST(3), libcurl 7.54.0 February 03, 2016 CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)
