How do I get the HTTP status code (eg 200 or 500) after calling curl_easy_perform?

CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received HTTP or FTP code. This
option was known as CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE in libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. This 
will be zero if no server response code has been received. Note that a 
proxy's CONNECT response should be read with CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE 
and not this. 
curl_code = curl_easy_perform (session);
long http_code = 0;
curl_easy_getinfo (session, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &http_code);
if (http_code == 200 && curl_code != CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK)
{
         //Succeeded
}
else
{
         //Failed
}
