I wonder if libcurl is even a good fit for that application. If no response
is expected, then there's very little of HTTP necessary to support, only
generating and formatting a few standard headers. If no response is expected,
then features like authentication, SSL, timeouts, cookies, HTTP version
negotiation and proxy support aren't possible so can't be used. All you're
left with could be done with a printf and a sendto call. Why are you
considering libcurl for this application?
