I didn't know about CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, but I just looked it up. Looks
like it returns 1 or 0 (if I read it right). So, testing the value is an
easily coded check.

So far, I've been dividing the results of curl_easy_perform using a loop
with strtok and the newline character, '\n'. I could make an if statement
using strstr to look for the string "not authorized" or whatever the
remote server is returning on failure in the results (worth a shot).
