First of all, thank you for all of the log data. It makes life so much easier when I have to figure out what is going on. As a result of your effort I believe I now have a grasp on the problem.

It appears your wonderful Alltel network is using an HTTP Proxy server to stream HTML content to your phone. This means all web requests from your phone are intercepted by a server on the Alltel network. If that server has a cached copy of that page then it will hand it back to your phone. If it doesn't have a cached copy then the server will make the request to the internet to get it. This is most likely done to help speed up their network by eliminated requests to the internet if they aren't necessary.

The problem is that it appears Alltel Proxies are returning the HTML in a chunked format which is different than the format that C-ApiSRO was written for. When C-ApiSRO processed the captcha HTML pages it expects certain information in particular locations on that page. Alltel is mucking that all up.

The good news is that I now understand the problem and I can definitely fix it. The other good news is that I believe I have a fix for your captcha problems. The bad news is that there may be other problems that could arise that I'll have to fix as well. I have no way of knowing what those are ahead of time because I don't have an Alltel environment to test on.

So here is how we'll proceed:
I've attached another C-ApiSRO_Debug.exe file for you to try out. I am pretty sure you'll get past the captcha problems, but you could experience other issues. What I need you to do is run this file like before and give it a try. If you have problems then please record all log files, including network analyzer, and mail them to me. If things are working fine then go ahead and let me know and I'll make an official build.

Good Luck!!!
