when using duphandle+curl_mutli"
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) which showed that
curl_easy_duphandle() wrongly also copied the pointer to the connection
cache, which was plain wrong and caused a segfault if the handle would be
used in a different multi handle than the handle it was duplicated from.

- Keshav Krity found out that libcurl failed to deal with dotted IPv6
addresses if they were very long (>39 letters) due to a too strict address
validity parser. It now accepts addresses up to 45 bytes long.

- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and
there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
broken clients.
The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
text to the right of it).
libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
and proxy.
(note that there's no way to activate this with the curl tool yet)

- Added test cases 1089 and 1090 to test --write-out after a redirect to
test a report that the size didn't work, but these test cases pass.
- Documented CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY as being useful only on HTTP URLs.

- Ken Hirsch simplified how libcurl does FTPS: now it doesn't assume any
particular state for the control connection like it did before for implicit
FTPS (libcurl assumed such control connections to be encrypted while some
FTPS servers such as FileZilla assumes such connections to be clear
mode). Use the CURLOPT_USE_SSL option to set your desired level.

- Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when
researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command
and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the
current MODE and TYPE.
In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been
included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST
NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
- Christian Krause filed bug #2221237
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2221237) that identified an infinite
loop during GSS authentication given some specific conditions. With his
patience and great feedback I managed to narrow down the problem and
eventually fix it although I can't test any of this myself!

- Fixed the getifaddrs version of Curl_if2ip to work on systems without IPv6
support (e.g. Minix)

- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2351645
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with
the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in
progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.

- Pawel Kierski pointed out a mistake in the cookie code that could lead to a
bad fclose() after a fatal error had occured.

- If a HTTP request is Basic and num is already >=1000, the HTTP test
server adds 1 to num to get the data section to return. This allows
testing authentication negotiations using the Basic authentication
method.
- Added tests 1087 and 1088 to test Basic authentication on a redirect
with and without --location-trusted
Daniel Stenberg (24 Nov 2008)
- Based on a patch by Vlad Grachov, libcurl now uses a new libssh2 0.19
function when built to support SCP and SFTP that helps the library to know
in which direction a particular libssh2 operation would return EAGAIN so
that libcurl knows what socket conditions to wait for before trying the
function call again. Previously (and still when using libssh2 0.18 or
earlier), libcurl will busy-loop in this situation when the easy interface
is used!

- I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is
used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use
unless explicitly asked for.
- Josef Wolf's extension that allows a $TESTDIR/gdbinit$testnum file that when
you use runtests.pl -g, will be sourced by gdb to allow additional fancy or
whatever you see fit

- Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP
GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386)

- Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got
when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle
handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in
mysterious ways.
The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists()
function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would
select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its
chances of being used for pipelnining.

- Added more compiler warning options for gcc 4.3
Yang Tse (17 Nov 2008)
- Fix a remaining problem in the inet_pton() runtime configure check. And
fix internal Curl_inet_pton() failures to reject certain malformed literals.
- Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be
used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate.
- Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support
enabled and FTP disabled.
- Added check for NULL returns from strdup() in src/main.c and lib/formdata.c
- reported by Jim Meyering also prevent buffer overflow on MSDOS when you do
for example -O on a url with a file name part longer than PATH_MAX letters
- lib/nss.c fixes based on the report by Jim Meyering: I went over and added
checks for return codes for all calls to malloc and strdup that were
missing. I also changed a few malloc(13) to use arrays on the stack and a
few malloc(PATH_MAX) to instead use aprintf() to lower memory use.
- I fixed a memory leak in Curl_nss_connect() when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT is
in use.

- Added .xml as one of the few common file extensions known by the multipart
form generator.
- Added some #ifdefs around header files and change the EAGAIN test to
fix compilation on Cell (reported by Jeff Curley).
Yang Tse (14 Nov 2008)
- Fixed several configure script issues affecting checks for inet_ntoa_r(),
inet_ntop(), inet_pton(), getifaddrs(), fcntl() and getaddrinfo().
