I wrote this example source that does exactly this. It is even included in
the release archive's docs/example section:

        http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/docs/examples/getinmemory.c

It is also mentioned and described on item 5.2 in the FAQ.

CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION sets the callback that gets called with all full
header lines as arguments, one by one. Set a pointer with CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER
to receive that as the fourth argument in the callback, it is very useful if
you wanna pass local stuff to the callback.
