CHANGES

  used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when
  doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.

- Nikitinskit Dmitriy filed bug report #1868255
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1868255) with a patch. It identifies
  and fixes a problem with parsing WWW-Authenticate: headers with additional
  spaces in the line that the parser wasn't written to deal with.

- Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the read
  and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or
  writing get paused.

- Jeff Johnson filed bug report #1863171
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1863171) where he pointed out that
  libcurl's date parser didn't accept a +1300 time zone which actually is used
  fairly often (like New Zealand's Dailight Savings Time), so I modified the
  parser to now accept up to and including -1400 to +1400.

Daniel S (5 Jan 2008)
- Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5
  code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
  CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
  instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
  curl_easy_setopt() option.

  The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
  proxy.  The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
  SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.

Daniel S (4 Jan 2008)
- Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let the
  proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
  CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
  pass on the IP address only to the proxy.

Yang Tse (3 Jan 2008)
- Modified test harness to allow SCP, SFTP and SOCKS4 tests to run with
  OpenSSH 2.9.9, SunSSH 1.0 or later versions. SOCKS5 tests need OpenSSH
  3.7, SunSSH 1.0 or later.

Daniel S (2 Jan 2008)
- I fixed two cases of missing return code checks when handling chunked
  decoding where a write error (or abort return from a callback) didn't stop
  libcurl's processing.

- I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead
  made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct
  definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I
  could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't
  think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of
  course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their
  headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom
  definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of
  cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type
  seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.

- Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies,
  which is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy
  instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5).
  --socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can
  now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.

Daniel S (1 Jan 2008)
- Mohun Biswas pointed out that --libcurl generated a source code with an int
  function but without a return statement. While fixing that, I also took care
  about adding some better comments for the generated code.
