Currently we are discussing whether using attach_extern_movie from
within CommonGetUrl is really the correct thing.
My best guess is that it depende on the method value.
It seems that a method=64 might mean just that, see bug
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17616

If you do have libcurl and HAVE_CURL_CURL_H  is not defined that
would be a bug in the curl.m4 file. By forcing call to AC_CHECK_HEADER
always this should get fixed (see gstreamer.m4 for an example).
