I am wondering since i am a little confused on how to download a zip
file from a url like www.example.com/test.zip? I have looked at the
examples such as simple.c but that only returns the source of the page.
I than tried to do something like this (idk if it would be better as a
attachment or not).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl.h>

int
main(void)
{
 CURL *curl;
 CURLcode res;

 curl = curl_easy_init();

if(curl) {
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://example.com/test.zip");

 /* Perform the request, res will get
the return code */
 res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
 /* Check for errors
*/
 if(res != CURLE_OK)
 fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed:
%sn",
 curl_easy_strerror(res));

 /* always cleanup */

curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
 system("PAUSE"); //so i can read what it
outputs.
 }
 return 0;
}

It returns PK♣♠ so something is not right
here and i am using this on c++ but i have not found a problem with
cc++.

So how do i download a zip from a url?
