The loop around curl_easy_perform shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how
the API works. curl_easy_perform() should be called only once, and once the
transfer that has been set up on the handle has been completed, the function
returns. Calling it in a loop is equivalent to clicking on the same link in a
browser over and over again. Once the transfer is complete, you can use
curl_easy_getinfo to query information about the transfer that just occurred.
