Joel,

There are some specific options that can be controlled via passed in
options to the CPLHTTPFetch() function but this does not appear to be
one of them.  I vaguely recall some curl options being overrideable
via some sort of dot file in the user home directory and/or environment
variables.  You might want to read up on this in the Curl docs.  If not,
you can pretty easily locally modify CPLHTTPFetch() in gdal/port/cpl_http.cpp.

Best regards,
