I guess you're using libcurl in C++ code.
Have you seen curlpp, a C++ wrapper over libcurl (curlpp.org)?
It takes care of translating errors to exceptions for you so you don't
have to check any return codes of libcurl at all.
It makes other nice things for you as well :)
Libcurl is great but encapsulating it in C++ interface and leveraging
C++ object semantics makes it real fun to use.
