This has the possibility of increasing the number of packets sent for each
request, depending on how libcurl does its writes for various protocols. Has
anyone looked at this possible effect? For example, if headers are written
individually as "Header:","contents" then an HTTP request that's sent in one
packet today could end up taking 20 with this patch. And it's not just HTTP but
all protocols that could be affected similarly.
