In fact I do not have a big idea about http protocol neither about

TR-069 cwmp (Amendment 5) and in this standard they require to send

the server.
Ref of TR-069:

(Annex M)
I wonder if libcurl is even a good fit for that application. If no response
is expected, then there's very little of HTTP necessary to support, only
generating and formatting a few standard headers. If no response is expected,
then features like authentication, SSL, timeouts, cookies, HTTP version
negotiation and proxy support aren't possible so can't be used. All you're
left with could be done with a printf and a sendto call. Why are you
considering libcurl for this application?
In fact the standard requires an exchanges of SOAP messages over http
(over TCP connections) with a server. So that's why I choosed to use
libcurl for my program. In a later version of the standard, It's
required to send http messages over UDP some times for notification
purposes. Now I want to use the same stack (libcurl) to send HTTP
messages over UDP
