- Moved around more logic:

  First, POST data is never sent as part of the request headers in the http.c

  code. It is always sent the "normal" read callback then send() way. This now

  enables a plain HTTP POST to be sent chunked if we want to. This also

  reduces the risk of having very big POSTs causing problems.

  Further, sending off the initial HTTP request is not done using a loop

  anymore. If it wasn't all sent off in the first send(), the rest of the

  request is sent off in the normal transfer select() loop. This makes several

  things possible, but mainly it makes libcurl block less when used from the

  multi interface and it also reduces the risk of problems with issuing very

  large requests.

- Moved the read callback pointer and data within the structs to a more

  suitable place. This in preparation for a better HTTP-request sending code

  without (a silly) loop.

- The Dodds fix seems not to work.

- Vojtech Janota tests proved that the resolve fix from oct 21st is not good

  enough since obviously older glibcs might return EAGAIN without this meaning

  that the buffer was too small.

- [the other day] Made libcurl loop on recv() and send() now until done, and

  then get back to select(). Previously it went back to select() more often

  which really was a slight overhead. This was due to the reported performance

  problems on HTTP PUT on Windows. I couldn't see any notable difference on

  Linux...
