Daniel,

Attached are patches & documentation to libcurl 7.10.2 to implement
CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES.

CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES

Pass a pointer to a linked list of aliases to be treated as a valid HTTP 200 response. Some servers respond with a custom header response line. For example, IceCast servers respond with "ICY 200 OK". By including this string in your list of aliases, the response will be treated as a valid HTTP header line such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK". The HTTP response version is set according to CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs properly filled in. Use curl_slist_append(3) to create the list and curl_slist_free_all(3) to clean up an entire list.

Here is an example of setting the option:

// Try curling this ShoutCast server: http://205.188.234.65:8006
// With the alias, you can parse the HTTP headers after the response,
otherwise everything gets treated as body data
aliases = curl_slist_append( aliases, "ICY 200 OK" );
curl_easy_setopt( handle, CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, aliases );

Hope we can use this is in next release.

Cheers,
Simon
