I don't see how doing strncasecmp() or equivalent on the headers is hard in
any way. libcurl makes sure that you get full single headers passed in, all
you need to do is check for the right header.

This said, if you "just" want the last-modified time CURLOPT_FILETIME
(http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTFILETIME) should
be what you want.
