_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function allows us to set values for the possible options in
     the CURL data structure that defines the HTTP request. These
     options persist across calls in the 'CURLHandle' object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     curlSetOpt(..., .opts = list(), curl = getCurlHandle())

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: a named list of curl options to set after the handle has been
          created.

   .opts: a named list or 'CURLOptions' object identifying the curl
          options for the handle.

    curl: the 'CURLHandle' object created earlier via a call to
          'getCurlHandle' or 'dupCurlHandle'

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An integer value giving the status of the return. This should be 0
     as if there was an error in the libcurl mechiansim,   we will
     throw it there.
