But I'm coming across an error and are unsure how to navigate it. The error is that when I use the line curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_WRITEDATA,fp) the file won't close with fclose(). If I comment out the offending line, the file closes without issue. The code below is pretty much what is being used, minus a few lines used for printing etc:

I'm suspecting it might be a admin privileges issue, but will leave the judgement to someone in the know. No other libraries associated with libcurl are installed other than libcurl itself. Running version 7.41.0. Any assistance appreciated.
