The argument you set with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA is never touched by libcurl. It is
passed on as an argument to the callback you set with CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION.

Your callback then probably uses the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA pointer.

When curl_easy_perform() then ultimately returns, libcurl still doesn't touch
the pointer passed in with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA. If your callback stored data
there, then it remains there no matter if libcurl returned success or failure.
It doesn't even know if your callback did that or not. It is beyond what
libcurl knows or cares about.

Maybe you just don't get any body (sent to the callback) from the server in
the case of failure?
