Your questions seem like you haven't read any docs or information from the
web page. Most of what you're asking is easily available in docs and example
source codes.

We spend lots of energy and sweat to write docs and examples. The least you
can do is try them out first.

libcurl doesn't do SSH, it does SSL. And only if openssl is present. See
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html for all the options, or
check out the tutorial: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/the-guide.html

I would assume that you rather have POST in there too, as this isn't a valid
HTTP request.

Set http version and use your own set of custom headers. Again, the
curl_easy_setopt man page tells you how.

You can post whatever data you please, using any kind of encoding. libcurl
doesn't care. It sends it off binary.

Most simple: curl_easy_perform(), like any example source code shows.

curl_easy_perform() of course returns error code, you get the response data
to the function you provide. As the tutorial describes.
