I suggets you change this
if (result == CURLE_OK)
        {
          file << buffer;
          exit(0);
        }

for something like this:
if (result == CURLE_OK)
        {
          file.write(buffer,totalReaded);
          exit(0);
        }

because operator << will truncate if found a '\0' and there is your error.
So, other recomendation is not to use a string, but a vector (parsing
headers, you know the filezise and can allocate the necessary memory).
or just open the stream and write on it in the callback function.
You can also open a FILE* and pass it to curl, and let it do the stuff...
