The pointer you set with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA is the pointer that ends up in the
callback you set with CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION.

If you don't set a callback, libcurl has a default "callback" that calls
fwrite() and then you need to pass on a working FILE *, yes.

Yes.

If you ask for it with CURLOPT_HEADER. You can also opt to get the headers
passed to a different callback with CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION.
