Haha, you are right about that. What I should have said was that if I
do NOT have that catch there, it will completely stop the service,
which is of course not desirable. Since the catch prevents that
somehow, I will leave it there :).

For now we can pretend I do not use a try/catch, and the problem is
that the service will stop (crash) after:

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
