I've had similar needs. I just ignored the libcurl provided facilities
and implemented a progress callback which would abort the operation if
my condition wasn't met. This is a bit of a pain since it seems like
it should work in your case but there is a way to get the job done
when your needs are dynamic like this. See CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION.
