Right, you cannot do this with the easy interface, and in fact, you cannot do
this using the multi interface either. The multi interface is probably a lot
closer to what you want though.

To get details about the multi interface, try the online multi overview at
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-multi.html or get a 7.9.6 pre-release
and read the man pages that come with that package.

Anyway, using a callback to get the data instead of getting it in an read()
style, isn't very different.
