composer patches provoke error in mcurl.py: curl.xheaders is None but no check before loop

[aitjes]

I use composer for my PHP Project and use it to apply patches during composer install.
The Patches fail with Failed to open stream: Cannot connect to HTTPS server through proxy.
It works with CNTLM.
px proxy logs the following error:

----------------------------------------

px-proxy Version is 0.9.2

Example composer.json if someone want to reproduce: composer.json

Checking with if curl.xheaders is not None before the loop fixes the error. But I'am not sure if it is the right way.

This is being fixed in mcurl v8.9.1.0. Px v0.10.0 will use mcurl as the backend.
