Hi,

So far the getinmemory.c example terminates the process with an EXIT_FAILURE status code if the in-memory growing buffer cannot be reallocated.

Since the write function includes the ability to signal an error to libcurl [1], and let it abort the transfer with a CURLE_WRITE_ERROR, I thought it would be better to use it as a best practice within this example.

Please find attached a (small) patch that avoids using exit(3). In addition there is a 2nd patch that sets the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option since example.com includes redirections.
