Oh, no, I do want to receive the server's reply (or at least the HTTP
code), I just don't want curl output the data on the console (stdout or
stderr). The server's reply is only a single line, so there's no harm in
reading that from the network.

If there's currently no simple way to do that, may I propose that make
that possible? E.g. by calling the write function only if it is set to a
custom func or the file handle being not NULL. As far as I see the write
function is only called at one place, so that should be fairly simple.
The attached patch does just that (untested, though).
