bug report #478780 fixed, cygwin stripped on install, some more details on

                               History of Changes

Daniel (6 November 2001)

- We got bug report #478780 posted, which very correctly pointed out two bad

  timeouet things in libcurl: we didn't restore the sigaction struct (alarm

  handler for the SIGALRM) nor did we restore the previous alarm() timeout

  that could've been set by a "parent" process or similar. We do that now

  though! The reporter was anonymous.

- Kevin Roth made the cygwin binary get stripped before install.

- Detlef Schmier reported that curl didn't compile using Solaris 8 with the

  native cc compiler. It was due to a bad function prototype. Fixed now.

- John Lask provided SSL over HTTP proxy fixes.

- John Lask provided SSL over HTTP proxy fixes (that I didn't quite agree on,

  we need to work on this).

- John Lask added the -1/--TLSv1 options that forces SSL into using TLS

  version 1 when speaking HTTPS.

- John Lask brought a brand new VC++ makefile for the lib directory, that

  works a lot better than the previous!

- Ramana Mokkapati brought some clever insights on the LDAP failures, and his

  suggested changes are now applied.

- The curl_easy_getinfo() timers accidentally lost they're subsecond accuracy

  as the calculations used longs instead of doubles! Paul Harrington reported.

- The SSL SocketIsDead() checks weren't good enough (as expected really), so I

  had to add a generic internal try-it-out system. If the request on a re-used
