Thanx for the insight. However, I am using Unix(solaris) and not windows and
as such I do not have to worry about opening the file in binary mode.
It is sad that the server is responding the binary data without actually
encoding it. Can't do much about that. Am wondering if the HTTP protocol
handles binary data without actually trying to modifying it. Any Ideas??

Gracias,
Amit

I'm sure that libcurl doesn't do anything with the data. However, if you
are using WIN32, make sure that you open the file in binary mode, i.e
fopen("name", "wb"), otherwise, it will insert extra CR characters into
the file.
