    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(result == CURLE_OK) {
      /* extract the available authentication types */

      result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL, &auth);
      if(result == CURLE_OK) {
        if(!auth)
          printf("No auth available, perhaps no 401?\n");
