Not claiming that I know libxml2 interfaces very well, but did this
condition ever get to "Do Work"? I'd guess that xmlCharStrdup returned
a pointer to whatever libxml2 considers a string "response_code", and 
that's very unlikely to be the same pointer as the one in cur->name.

I'd think some equivalent of strcmp is necessary here.
