JFTR: Utter nonsense. "HTML-encoded string" was (well-)defined *by the OP*
as a string where "<a>…</a>" would become at least "<a>…</a>".
If you use cURL to retrieve a "web page" (correct: a web _document_, like an
HTML document), the input is always *markup*, like "<a>…</a>". It may also
include character references (`×') or character entitity references
(`<'), but it will contain at least one tag (because the "web page" would
otherwise be useless).
