I do not have access to the sourcecode now since iam on vacation
I will try to send you what i did once i get back

But i do not remember doing a major hack in libCurl for this.
I used the callback function that we set in the curleasysetopt.I parse the headers within that and get the content-length and continue reading from there on till i receive the length specified in the header.Then i return -1 from the callback causing it to abort the transfer.Then in the curleasyperform i check if the transfer was aborted by me or for someother reason by checking the return type.
This aproach had one drawback.Since(technically) i break in the middle of the transfer (even though we have read everything)it did not give me the right statistics using easygetinfo.so i guess i did hack in the source of
library.But i do not remeber what i did.I guess you would have to wait till i get back

So you hacked your libcurl to do this? If so, could you make it an optional
feature and send me a patch?
