libcurl doesn't currently offer that information. It already uses
getsockname() on multiple places in the code, so we could indeed consider a
way to export that info to the "outside". It would basicly be a matter of
storing the info and then be able to return it on request.

I think curl_easy_getinfo() is a suitable function that can be extended to
provide the IP address of an existing connection. We'd only need to make sure
that we use the existing connection, as there might be several ones in the
"cache".

Patching required. Are you up to it?
