Description:
------------
There's a curl-php 'feature' that will return the received headers for all requests done with just one curl_exec call on the same string.

Ie, if you make a request that request with NTLM authentication, CURL will do 2 requests: for the first one, it will receive a HTTP 401 with some negotiation/challenge headers and then, it sends another request with the auth data and gets a HTTP 200 response.

Then it returns the headers from the curl_exec functions:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
blablabla

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
blabla

<html>
...

My patch just skips all the first headers and returns the last one, which is the most important (AFAIK)

sorry, wrong summary

Sorry, I forgot to add that this patch makes the HTTP Transport to use CURL when available (using the existing code for HTTPS requests)
