I suggest writing a test function that just does a normal HTTPS GET
transaction just to see if your SSL+libcurl installation is working.
Once that is verified, then try getting your full transaction working.

You're not calling curl_easy_perform(), so libcurl never has a chance to
establish a connection.

The code shows that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how libcurl
works. There's no need to manually generate HTTP headers and data structures
and handle the protocol flow yourself. The general model is to create an
easy handle, set options on the handle (including URL and data callback
functions), then call curl_easy_perform() to perform the transfer.

You should be able to make minor modifications to the example program
docs/examples/post-callback.c to do what you want here.
