EXAMPLE
struct data {
  void *custom;

  CURLcode res;
  struct data my_tracedata;
  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION, my_trace);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA, &my_tracedata);
    /* the DEBUGFUNCTION has no effect until we enable VERBOSE */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
