That is what I am trying to do, but I don't really understand how am I
supposed to do that. Is there an API to that, beside specyfing custom
write function? The problem with using custom write and local buffer is:

//-----------------------------------------------------------
size_t my_write(void* p, size_t size, size_t n, void* stream);

void* thread_func(void* arg)
{
    ...
    char* buffer;
    rc = curl_easy_setopt (h_curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, my_write);
    ...
}

size_t my_write(void* p, size_t size, size_t n, void* stream)
{
    ...
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------

...inside "my_write" i cannot see "buffer", or am I missing something?
