Why not use CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION and set your own callback to
process the headers?? Man page says:

              Function pointer that should match the following prototype:
              size_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t
nmemb, void *stream);
              This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it
has received header
              data. The header callback will be called once for each
header and only
              complete header lines are passed on to the callback.
