You can pass a pointer to just about anything you want using WRITEDATA
that makes sense for your own callback. Personally, I have never used
the structure in the examples. Feel free to create any structure that
holds all data that you require in order to properly handle the data
in the callback as it comes in. As far as libcurl is concerned, it
does not care one bit what that pointer represent, it just passes it
along (unless you use the default callback function, of course).
