No need, I added it to docs/KNOWN_BUGS just now!

I honestly don't know, but I would suspect so. Lots of people already have the
problem of separating the "fake" headers from the "real" ones in these
situations so I think it can help making application logic simpler.

Hm. What about

CURLOPT_INHIBIT_HEADERS
CURLOPT_HIDE_HEADERS
CURLOPT_HEADER_CONTROL

or similar?

The following argument would then possibly be an enum or bitmask so that we
can allow different levels or modes of hiding. Like for auth OR redirects or
both etc.
