When you write your configure script to detect libcurl and setup variables
accordingly, we offer a prewritten macro that probably does everything you
need in this area. See docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4 file - it includes docs on how

POST in the upcoming request.
Ok, so what if you want to post binary data that also requires you to set the
Content-Type: header of the post? Well, binary posts prevent libcurl from
being able to do strlen() on the data to figure out the size, so therefore we
must tell libcurl the size of the post data. Setting headers in libcurl
requests are done in a generic way, by building a list of our own headers and
then passing that list to libcurl.

operate as a "man in between" which the proxy's task is, as previously
discussed. Instead, the only way to have SSL work over an HTTP proxy is to ask
the proxy to tunnel trough everything without being able to check or fiddle
