No you don't. When you do a HTTP request with libcurl, it will get you the
resource the URL identifies no matter what it is.

I would rather guess that you're not using libcurl correctly or do some wrong
assumptions on the data you get.

It doesn't. libcurl doesn't care about the size and will call your write
callback over and over and over until the entire thing is transfered.
