In the context of my example above, could you just
say which bit you thing should be quoted and isn't?
(That sounds sarcastic, but isn't; I just want to
understand if I've missed something). If you simply
requote the second element in the cmd list
('"http:/....."') then the internal quotes are escaped
by some part of the mechanism and it still doesn't work.
