Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I don't know what's the problem, but I can't make it work.
All I wanna do is download binary file.
That's my program. Seem quite simple, but what ha[[ens is really weird.
Either the file that I'm opening is left empty, or it is filled with
data that is not an image.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Sigal

size_t write_callback(void *buffer,
                      size_t size,
                      size_t nitems,
                      void *userp)
{
  FILE *file = (FILE *)userp;
  size_t write;
  size *= nitems;
  write = fwrite(buffer, size, nitems, file);
  return size;
}
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res;
  FILE *data;
  data=fopen("sigal", "wb");
  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://skychasers.net/SUN.jpg");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILE, data); /* write here */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
        fclose(data);
   }
  return 0;
}

libcurl downloads everything binary by default.

Something like this (untested code) might work:

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res;
  FILE *storehere;

  storehere=fopen("dumpit", "wb"); /* b for windows people */

  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://imagesite.com/image.png");

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, storehere); /* write here
*/

    /* If you use windows and libcurl as a DLL, you must also set a
callback
       function with CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION */

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
  return 0;
}
