nine items since 7.9.3

                               History of Changes

- T. Bharath pointed out that we seed SSL on every connect, which is a time-

  consuming operation that should only be needed to do once. We patched

  libcurl to now only seed on the first connect when unseeded. The seeded

  status is global so it'll now only happen once during a program's life time.

- Giaslas Georgios introduced CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE that lets

  curl_easy_getinfo() read the content-type from the previous request.

- Kjetil Jacobsen found a way to crash curl and after much debugging, it

  turned out it was a IPv4-linux only problem introduced in 7.9.3 related to

  name resolving.

- Andreas Damm posted a huge patch that made the curl_getdate() function fully

  reentrant!

- Steve Marx pointed out that you couldn't mix CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST with

  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. You can now!

- Krishnendu Majumdar pointed out that the header length counter was not reset

  between multiple requests on the same handle.

- Pedro Neves rightfully questioned why curl always append \r\n to the data

  that is sent in HTTP POST requests. Unfortunately, this broke the test suite

  as the test HTTP server is lame enough not to deal with this... :-O

- Following Location: headers when the connection didn't close didn't work as

  libcurl didn't properly stop reading. This problem was added in 7.9.3 due to

  the restructured internals. 'Frank' posted a bug report about this.

- Kevin Roth very quickly spotted that we wrongly installed the example

  programs that were built in the multi directory, when 'make install' was

  used. :-/
