You seem to have missed the tutorial:

         http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html

and the examples:

         http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/example.html

You use CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION.

No. You need to construct the full URLs to pass to libcurl.

If you re-use the easy handle libcurl will re-use connections as much as it
can.
