I have seen this documentation and wrote sample code by this only, but I
don't know somehow my readcb is not getting called. I added one printf()
statement just to check whether readcb is called or not, but it never
happens. Whenevr we do curl_easy_perform() will it be sending a GET message
to Server? I have observed that some GET request goes to my test server. I
am sure I am missing something and need help from you to fix it.
