function gets called by libcurl as soon as it has received header data. The
header callback will be called once for each header and only complete header
lines are passed on to the callback. Parsing headers should be easy enough
using this. The size of the data pointed to by \fIptr\fP is \fIsize\fP
multiplied with \fInmemb\fP. The pointer named \fIstream\fP will be the one
you passed to libcurl with the \fICURLOPT_WRITEHEADER\fP option. Return the
number of bytes actually written or return -1 to signal error to the library
multiplied with \fInmemb\fP. Do not assume that the header line is zero
terminated! The pointer named \fIstream\fP is the one you set with the
\fICURLOPT_WRITEHEADER\fP option. The callback function must return the number
of bytes actually taken care of, or return -1 to signal error to the library
(it will cause it to abort the transfer with a \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP return
code).

you don't use your own callback to take care of the writing, this must be a
