Now you're slipping into areas you're better off discussing on the
curl-and-php mailing list.

And for specificly the topic of debug/verbose output using the PHP/CURL
binding, you probably need to start checking out the source code (or contact
the PHP team) since I believe there's only very poor support for it yet.

I tend to recommend using the command line tool while working out the quirks
for exactly that reason.

curl --trace or --trace-ascii are perfect for that. PHP/CURL has no
alternatives similar to that afaik.
