Note that must also call ne_read_response_block() in a loop, per the 
docs in ne_request.h.  You only retry the request if ne_end_request() 
returns NE_TRY.

Before you start calling ne_read_response_block(), you should check the 
response status code using ne_get_status().  For example:

  if (ne_get_status(req)->klass == 2) {
     ... call ne_read_response_block() loop...
  }
  else {
     ret = ne_discard_response(req);
  }

would mean you only read the response body to your buffer for a 
successful request.
