Is there a way to have curl use the same exact settings of the current browser? such that I can use the same channels or firewall bypass?

Go into Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings and see if you
have a proxy server. You can use CURLOPT_PROXY to set the proxy [1].
There isn't functionality in libcurl to get that proxy configuration
automatically, though you can find some code that shows how to do that
at [2].

Also I'm reminded of a similar "can't resolve host" in windows question
on the mailing list a week ago where the user had only partially
initialized libcurl [3]. Absent that try my suggestions from that thread
[4].
