Hello,

When using libcurl to fetch a webpage, I provide it with a write_function
with the signature
"size_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream)"

The webpage is now stored in a buffer pointed to by ptr. To make it really
useful, I end up having to copy the string from the ptr buffer to another
buffer( in this case a std::string).

Is there a way I can avoid making this copy? Ideally I would like to pass a
buffer to libcurl, so that it stores the webpage directly in that buffer.

Thanks in advance,
bharath
