curl_pushheader_bynum - get a push header by index

#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_pushheader_bynum(struct curl_pushheaders *h, size_t num);

This is a function that is only functional within a CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION(3) callback. It makes no sense to try to use it elsewhere and it has no function then.

It returns the value for the header field at the given index num, for the incoming server push request or NULL. The data pointed to is freed by libcurl when this callback returns. The returned pointer points to a "name:value" string that gets freed when this callback returns.

/* output all the incoming push request headers */

                   CURL *easy,
                   size_t num_headers,

     field = curl_pushheader_bynum(headers, i);
