realm in 401 message.

Why cant I retrieve the realm from 401 message using curl_easy_getinfo
? I cant think of any particular reason why this is not exposed to
the Programmer.

I cannot implement an efficient password caching mechanism in my app
without knowing the realm ? Parsing the headers (from writeheaders
function) is an ugly workaround, can anybody suggest something better
? What ugly sideeffects I can expect by using debug callbacks ?
