Convert wxString URL's to char*

[Nusret Taşçı]

A few questions which might help you understanding the errors:

Do you compile in ANSI or in Unicode Mode?
Which warnings/errors do you get, if you don't cast the return value of 
ToAscii() and c_str() ... ?
Does ToAscii() (etc.) produce a temporary object and do you use a 
pointer to a dead object in your call to printf()?
