Since such approach will require dynamic buffer allocation, I think this could 
improve the memory foot print as well.

Today even if you want to use curl for small data transfer, it will allocate 
32K just for upload/download buffers! 
When using the multi interface with lots of such connections this might be 
significant.

I think that 'CURLcode curl_allocate_buffer_cb(char** buff, int* size)' which 
will be called by curl with the requested buffer size - would be easy to use 
API for this.
