If there is no response body, the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION will not be called.

Then you *did* get a response body!

No, that's not how libcurl works. libcurl will call the write callback with
the response body even for "failure responses", if we by that mean non 2xx
HTTP reeponse codes.

If you do get a HTTP response body and libcurl didn't call the write callback,
then there's a bug in there - either in your code or in libcurl.

If curl_easy_perform() fails, it did so because something went wrong and then
it returns immediately. Just getting a non-2xx from ta HTTP server is not such
an error condition though.
