  5.5 Does CURLOPT_FILE and CURLOPT_INFILE work on win32 ?

  Yes, but you cannot open a FILE * and pass the pointer to a DLL and have

  that DLL use the FILE *. You must use CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION as well to set a

  function that writes the file, even if that simply writes the data to the

  specified FILE*.

  that DLL use the FILE *. If you set CURLOPT_FILE you must also use

  CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION as well to set a function that writes the file, even

  if that simply writes the data to the specified FILE*. Similarly, if you use

  CURLOPT_INFILE you must also specify CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.
