Sending a header with exactly no contents

hi,

this does not appear to be supported by libcurl, see:

http:/
/curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-01/0244.html

one of the hacks mentioned in that thread is to embed the
empty header
in another header, e.g.:

"""
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, 'User-Agent:
PyCurlrnEmptyHeader:')
...
"""

regards,

the example in my previous port is wrong, should have been:

"""
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ['User-Agent:
PyCurlrnEmptyHeader:'])
...
"""

HTTPHEADER assumes a list as argument, not a string.  sorry
about that.
