Thanks, but I would prefer a slightly different approach to this problem.

I would like to introduce a complement to CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER that is used only
for CONNECT requests. Called CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER or CURLOPT_CONNECTHEADER
perhaps.

The headers provided to CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER would then not be used at all in
CONNECT requests.

What do you think about using that approach?
