I agree. In this day and age we have a problem on the general web with cookie
leakage from HTTPS over to HTTP and there are already plans and drafts in the
works for making it less likely to accur in the future. It would feel odd to
then provide an official way for us to enable such a leak.

Another way to do it would probably be to use curl_easy_getinfo's
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST to extract all the cookies, clear off the secure flags,
flush the entire internal list of cookies and then bring the scrubbed list
back with CURLOPT_COOKIELIST.
