How about using curl_easy_setopt(CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, ...) and
curl_easy_setopt(CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, ...) to handle the data instead of
letting the default mechanism (stdout) do it? That way you have
complete control over all incoming data. Using those, there really
shouldn't be any reason for a console at all (besides any possible
debug output of your own).

Also, this conversation belongs on the libcurl mailing list, if I'm
not mistaken.
