Summary: possible nullpointer dereference in wxCurl

Initial Comment:
hello,

i have checked the sources with the static code anlysis tool cppcheck. It found an issue in file wxcode/trunk/wxCode/components/wxcurl/thirdparty/curl/lib/transfer.c at line 2475. In order to avoid a possible nullpointer dereference, it is better to first check the pointer it is NULL and then derference it. Please see the attached patch.

Best regards

Martin Ettl
