The "Hopefully" part here is really the key issue I have with this approach.
It is very error-prone and may not even work for your case every time.

So even though I am eager have libcurl work at least as fine as the browsers
on the given input, I would rather see a more reliable and predictable fix
than this. Sorry.

It would be interesting to know how the Firefox guys have approached this
problem...
