Let me see if I've got this right.
The windows.bat is processing the media file somehow, then calling a
php_cli script which makes a cURL call to another web-based PHP script?
Is this right? The final script I assume is getting sent some info from
the cURL call and is using it somehow (in a DB maybe?) before some sort
of message back to your curl call. What is the code then doing with it
after that?
