It depends completley on what it receives. For every recv() call (and some
other details Jay mentioned), libcurl will call the callback to deliver data.

Most probably libcurl received the data in two different recv() calls.

libcurl doesn't work like that.

Sure, for example like this: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html

You can switch off transfer-encoding in libcurl, and then you get all the
chunked data to deal with - but then you also have to do the entire chunked
decoding yourself.
