If you tell libcurl to follow locations, that means you might get
several redirect responses, and each one might (or might not) have
a content-length header and a response body, and you will need to
ignore all of the sets of headers except the set that begins with
"HTTP/1.? 200 OK". You can still enable your write callback from
the very beginning, if you set up a struct to hold the data buffer,
you can add a flag to tell the write callback whether or not it
should start saving data.
