This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it has received header
data. The header callback will be called once for each header and only
complete header lines are passed on to the callback. Parsing headers is very

+easy using this. \fIbuffer\fP points to the delivered data, and the size of
+that data is \fInitems\fP; \fIsize\fP is always 1. Do not assume that the
+header line is zero terminated!
The pointer named \fIuserdata\fP is the one you set with the
\fICURLOPT_HEADERDATA(3)\fP option.
