What needs to be changed?? I've just extracted the getinmemory.c example
from the curl-7.18.2 tarball, altered the url to pick up the "powered by
apache" PNG file from my local server, and added these lines right before
"chunk" struct is freed:

     FILE *p;
     p=fopen("/tmp/image.png", "w");
     fwrite(chunk.memory, sizeof (char), chunk.size, p);
     fclose(p);

The md5sum of the new file, /tmp/image.png, exactly matches the original and
it displays just fine. Seems to me like getinmemory.c does a fine job of
grabbing a binary file.
