The answer is in http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_WRITEDATA.html
and I quote:
If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use the
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION if you set this option or you will experience
crashes.
Due to how ownership of that FILE pointer is handled.
I don't think the wording here is at all clear. Are you saying that
when cURL is used as a Win32 DLL, fwrite is not a valid
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION even if passed in explicitly? Or are you saying
that use of NULL as a CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is not valid when cURL is
used as a Win32 DLL, and that a pointer to fwrite must be passed in (or
else the call should be skipped)?
In either case, the documentation in the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION page
should have the same warning. You don't want pages to be inconsistent
with each other.
