I think the feature you're looking for is known as "client viewspecs",
and was proposed by David James in this message:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-07/0624.shtml
We haven't implemented them yet; see the rest of the thread for
discussion, including http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-08/0004.shtml.
Best,
-Karl
