Dear Daniel,

I have tried to make a change and removed the
curl_easy_setopt(CURLOPT_WRITEDATA). As a consequence, I am not using
any files and all the output is being written to the stdout. In this
case, I have made the tests and the error is different!! Now, the
libcurl does not return and, additionally, it does not print in the
screen all the downloaded data...it stops in the middle of the download
process. Now, I am very confused with this behaviour. Probably, the http
server from the equipment has some problem. What do you think?

Regards,
Pedro Neves
