This happens due to you earlier setting the CURLOPT_HEADERDATA:

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADERDATA, headerfile);

curl will call the WriteFunction with this as the userp when receiving the
HTTP headers since you have no defined CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION function. If
CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION is set then that will handle all the headers but
since that is not set then your write function will get the HeaderData
pointer instead until there is real data to receive.
