Specifically, I replaced the READFUNCTION and READDATA with WRITEFUNCTION and WRITEDATA respectively. At first I changed the callback function to this:

static size_t read_callback(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream)
    {
        curl_off_t nread;
        char *r = (char*)ptr;
        size_t retcode = fwrite(r, size, nmemb, (FILE*)stream);
        nread = (curl_off_t)retcode;
        return retcode;
    }

When I ran that, it would get the curl_easy_perform call, then the program would freeze and crash. When I tried replacing the contents of the callback function with this test:

fprint("%s.*", size, (char*)stream);
return 0;

It gave me the error code 23 I mentioned before.

Hi, I tried to use the write options as well, but when I used those I got an error from the connection, speciifcally error code 23

Your program is supposed to DOWNLOAD, isn't it ?

The http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.html specifies:

CURLOPT_READFUNCTION - read callback for data UPLOADS.

You probably need to use
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION.html instead.

If you just want to write received data to a file, use CURLOPT_WRITEDATA
with the preopened FILE * (CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is set to fwrite by
default).
If you want to process data before writing it somewhere, please see
example http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html
