So you want to know how from the write callback you can determine if the
server's reply status code was an error rather than wait until
easy_perform returns? Get CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE [1] and compare for the
expected code. If the code is what you expect then store it and write to
file. Like

struct data {
CURL *curl;
long server_status;
FILE *fp;
};

size_t write_callback(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata)
{
struct data *data = (struct data *)userdata;

if(!data->server_status)
   curl_easy_getinfo(data->curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE,
&data->server_status);

if(data->server_status == 200) //assuming http; regardless other codes
may be returned
// write to file
else
// don't
}

struct data data;
memset(&data, 0, sizeof data);
data.curl = curl;
data.fp = your fp;
etc
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &data);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback);
