Hmmm, I'm reaching for straws here, but if it returns and prints this
garbage even before you start typing in netcat, couldn't it be that the
connection failed, and curl_easy_perform returns with an error code?

If your MessageBox() call is placed after the call to curl_perform(), it
would print uninitialized data, since the callback was never called.

I remember that you wrote this:

"See, The `nc(1)' acts as my server(cmd: $ nc -vl <port>)."

That exact command will not listen on <port>, but instead choose a
random port. But your C code always posts to port 9999:

curl_easy_setopt (gcurl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://10.0.1.1:9999/");

This raises more questions:

1) Where exactly did you place the call to MessageBox() to produce the
hex output? In the callback?
2) What is the exact command line you use to start nc?
