If you're writing your own program using libcurl and you want to supply the
data to send from within your program, the most straightforward way to do
this is to split your program into two processes with fork(). The first
process creates a pipe and ties it stdin, then forks a new process and
passes it the other end of the pipe. The first process calls
curl_easy_perform while the second process writes the data to send into the
pipe, which ends up on stdin in curl in the first process.
