Right, libcurl is C not C++ so there's no 'this' pointer (implicitly) passed
to the callback.

That's a callback you control so you write whatever you want in that function.
That's unrelated to what language you use.

The point of that particular solution for C++ is that the function is then
made "static" so thus there's no this pointer involved.

I believe you can also use the fourth argument pointer to fiddle in the this
pointer in case you really want to do it.

There's also the curlpp binding if you fancy using a more C++'ish approach.
