I don't know how, or if, this is implemented in the PHP binding, but the
general libcurl approach is to set a header callback. Then you'll get all
headers passed to your function and then you can figure out whatever you want
to figure out! ;-)

The necessary ones are stored all right, but not for easy retrieval by anyone
afterwards.

With the command line client, you get all headers directed to a special file
with the -D option.

BTW, I hope that you've noticed that libcurl can be made to follow Location:
headers automaticly if told so.

Good luck!
