I have no idea.

BTW, may I suggest that you use something different than "?" for the tool, as
on *nix systems, that is a wildcard that will match a single-letter file
name... Like:

$ touch a
$ ls ?
a

Feel free to correct this, if you have the means to test the code. I don't!

Or perhaps we could add a CURLINFO_SLIST type, that would return a pointer to
a linked list of curl_slist structs (that would require a
curl_slist_free_all() call).

I'm leaning towards adding the ability to extract all cookies libcurl knows
of, and then I'm considering providing the response in such a list. I would
then also add an option that adds cookies to curl using the same kind of list
- more about this in a separate mail once I've thought about it some more.
