      seems). So, if a test that requires SSL is run, it ignores the
      "Conditional..." errors, and you'll get a "valgrind PARTIAL" output instead
      of "valgrind OK".
    
    
    - Using the multi interface, and doing a requsted a re-used connection that
      gets closed just after the request has been sent failed and did not re-issue
      a request on a fresh reconnect like the easy interface did. Now it does!
    
    - Define CURL_MULTIEASY when building libcurl (lib/easy.c to be exact), to use
      my new curl_easy_perform() that uses the multi interface to run the
      request. It is a great testbed for the multi interface and I believe we
      shall do it this way for real in the future when we have a successor to
      curl_multi_fdset(). I've used this approach to detect and fix several of the
      recent multi-interfaces issues.
    
    
    - Adjusted the KNOWN_BUGS #17 fix a bit more since the FTP code also did some
      bad assumptions.
    
    
    - multi interface: when a request is denied due to "Maximum redirects
      followed" libcurl leaked the last Location: URL.
    
    
    - Connect failures with the multi interface was often returned as "connect()
      timed out" even though the reason was different.
    
    
    - KNOWN_BUGS #17 fixed. A DNS cache entry may not remain locked between two
      curl_easy_perform() invokes. It was previously unlocked at disconnect, which
      could mean that it remained locked between multiple transfers. The DNS cache
      may not live as long as the connection cache does, as they are separate.
    
      To deal with the lack of DNS (host address) data availability in re-used
      connections, libcurl now keeps a copy of the IP adress as a string, to be
      able to show it even on subsequent requests on the same connection.
    
      The problem could be made to appear with this stunt:
    
      1. create a multi handle
      2. add an easy handle
      3. fetch a URL that is persistent (leaves the connection alive)
      4. remove the easy handle from the multi
      5. kill the multi handle
      6. create a multi handle
      7. add the same easy handle to the new multi handle
      8. fetch a URL from the same server as before (re-using the connection)
    
    
    - Stephen More pointed out that CURLOPT_FTPPORT and the -P option didn't work
      when built ipv6-enabled. I've now made a fix for it. Writing test cases for
      custom port hosts turned too tricky so unfortunately there's none.
    
    
    - Ian Ford asked about support for the FTP command ACCT, and I discovered it
      is present in RFC959... so now (lib)curl supports it as well. --ftp-account
      and CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT set the account string. (The server may ask for an
      account string after PASS have been sent away. The client responds
      with "ACCT [account string]".) Added test case 228 and 229 to verify the
      functionality. Updated the test FTP server to support ACCT somewhat.
    
    
    - David Shaw contributed a fairly complete and detailed autoconf test you can
      use to detect libcurl and setup variables for the protocols the installed
      libcurl supports: docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4

    - Major FTP third party transfer overhaul.
    
      These four options are now obsolete: CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST,
      CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH, CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT (this option didn't work before)
      and CURLOPT_PASV_HOST.
    
      These two options are added: CURLOPT_SOURCE_URL and CURLOPT_SOURCE_QUOTE.
    
      The target-side didn't use the proper path with RETR, and thus this only
      worked correctly in the login path (i.e without doing any CWD). The source-
      side still uses a wrong path, but the fix for this will need to wait. Verify
      the flaw by using a source URL with included %XX-codes.
    
      Made CURLOPT_FTPPORT control weather the target operation should use PORT
      (or not). The other side thus uses passive (PASV) mode.
    
      Updated the ftp3rdparty.c example source to use the updated options.
    
      Added support for a second FTP server in the test suite. Named... ftp2.
      Added test cases 230, 231 and 232 as a few first basic tests of very simple
      3rd party transfers.
    
      Changed the debug output to include 'target' and 'source' when a 3rd party
      is being made, to make it clearer what commands/responses came on what
      connection.
    
      Added three new command line options: --3p-url, --3p-user and --3p-quote.
    
      Documented the command line options and the curl_easy_setopt options related
      to third party transfers.
    
      (Temporarily) disabled the ability to re-use an existing connection for the
      source connection. This is because it needs to force a new in case the
      source and target is the same host, and the host name check is trickier now
      when the source is identified with a full URL instead of a plain host name
      like before.
    
      TODO (short-term) for 3rd party transfers: quote support. The options are
      there, we need to add test cases to verify their functionality.
    
      TODO (long-term) for 3rd party transfers: IPv6 support (EPRT and EPSV etc)
      and SSL/TSL support.

    - Philippe Hameau found out that -Q "+[command]" didn't work, although some
      code was written for it. I fixed and added test case 227 to verify it.
      The curl.1 man page didn't mention the '+' so I added it.
    
    
    - Stephan Bergmann made libcurl return CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT if an FTP URL
      contains %0a or %0d in the user, password or CWD parts. (A future fix would
      include doing it for %00 as well - see KNOWN_BUGS for details.) Test case
      225 and 226 were added to verify this
    
    
    - Stephan Bergmann pointed out two flaws in libcurl built with HTTP disabled:
    
      1) the proxy environment variables are still read and used to set HTTP proxy
    
      2) you couldn't disable http proxy with CURLOPT_PROXY (since the option was
    
         disabled). This is important since apps may want to disable HTTP proxy
         without actually knowing if libcurl was built to disable HTTP or not.
    
    
      Based on Stephan's patch, both these issues should now be fixed.
    
    
    Daniel (18 January 2005)
    - Cody Jones' enhanced version of Samuel Díaz García's MSVC makefile patch was
      applied.
    
    
    Daniel (16 January 2005)
    - Alex aka WindEagle pointed out that when doing "curl -v dictionary.com", curl
      assumed this used the DICT protocol. While guessing protocols will remain
      fuzzy, I've now made sure that the host names must start with "[protocol]."
      for them to be a valid guessable name. I also removed "https" as a prefix
      that indicates HTTPS, since we hardly ever see any host names using that.
    
    
    Daniel (13 January 2005)
    - Inspired by Martijn Koster's patch and example source at
      http://www.greenhills.co.uk/mak/gentoo/curl-eintr-bug.c, I now made the
      select() and poll() calls properly loop if they return -1 and errno is
      EINTR. glibc docs for this is found here:
      http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Interrupted-Primitives.html
    
      This last link says BSD doesn't have this "effect". Will there be a problem
      if we do this unconditionally?
    
    
    - Dan Torop cleaned up a few no longer used variables from David Phillips'
      select() overhaul fix.
    
    
    - Cyrill Osterwalder posted a detailed analysis about a bug that occurs when
      using a custom Host: header and curl fails to send a request on a re-used
      persistent connection and thus creates a new connection and resends it. It
      then sent two Host: headers. Cyrill's analysis was posted here:
      http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-01/0022.html
    
    
    - Bruce Mitchener identified (bug report #1099640) the never-ending SOCKS5
      problem with the version byte and the check for bad versions. Bruce has lots
      of clues on this, and based on his suggestion I've now removed the check of
      that byte since it seems to be able to contain 1 or 5.
    
    
    - Pavel Orehov reported memory problems with the multi interface in bug report
      #1098843. In short, a shared DNS cache was setup for a multi handle and when
      the shared cache was deleted before the individual easy handles, the latter
      cleanups caused read/writes to already freed memory.
    
    
    - Hzhijun reported a memory leak in the SSL certificate code, that leaked the
      remote certificate name when it didn't match the used host name.

    Daniel (7 January 2005)
    - Improved the test script's valgrind log parser to actually work! Also added
      the ability to disable the log scanner for specific test cases. Test case
      509 results in numerous problems and leaks in OpenSSL and has to get it
      disabled.
    
    Daniel (6 January 2005)
    - Fixed a single-byte read out of bounds in test case 39 in the curl tool code
      (i.e not in the library).
    
    - Bug report #1097019 identified a problem when doing -d "data" with -G and
      sending it to two URLs with {}. Added test 199 to verify the fix.
