Thanks!

I declared a static 'struct curl_slist' with 'data' pointing to a
static string buffer. I use that as the head of the linked list I
pass to CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER. Before each call to curl_easy_perform()
all I have to do is sprintf() the desired header into the static
string buffer. This is probably entirely too cleaver and will someday
cause endless confusion, but it's too good to resist.

Since the set size has no limit, I would need to create a new list
each time. That's not a big problem, but seems wasteful when all I
need to do is change the value of one header.
