+  Buffer->resize(BufferSize + ChunkSize);
+  memcpy(&(Buffer[BufferSize]), Contents, ChunkSize);
----------------
One potential downside of this approach is you may have to resize the buffer multiple times as the data comes in which would be inefficient.

I was reading about alternatives, one possibility would be check a priori what's the size of the resource you're fetching is by performing a HEAD request (via `CURLOPT_NOBODY` and `CURLOPT_HEADER` set to 1) asking for the HTTP headers to be written via `CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER` and `CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION` and parsing the `Content-Length` value. Then you can allocate an appropriately sized buffer and fetch the actual content. You might even use `WritableMemoryBuffer::getNewUninitMemBuffer` instead of `std::vector` since you don't need to resize.
