The rule of thumb for this kind of problem is to use the debug callback and
find out exactly what libcurl is sending for the request. Then compare
that to a successful request (using something like LiveHttpHeaders in
Firefox) and modify the program to match. I did see an extra space in
your program after a very brief glimpse.

curl_easy_perform() returns CURLE_OK because it sent the request as
instructed and received a response from the server. You probably want
to use curl_easy_getinfo with CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE to get the HTTP
code from the server.
