- Philippe Vaucher provided a brilliant piece of test code that show a problem

  with re-used FTP connections. If the second request on the same connection

  was set not to fetch a "body", libcurl could get confused and consider it an

  attempt to use a dead connection and would go acting mighty strange.

- Make --limit-rate [num] mean bytes. It used to be that but it broke in my

  change done in November 2005.

- Based on an error report by Philippe Vaucher, we no longer count a retried

  connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP

  connection is re-setup and 2) it does make the max-redirs counter behave

  wrong. This fix was not verified since the reporter vanished, but I believe

  this is the right fix nonetheless.

  wrong.

- Michal Marek provided a patch for FTP that makes libcurl continue to try

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o re-used FTP connections when the second request didn't do a transfer

 o plain --limit-rate [num] means bytes

 o re-creating a dead connection is no longer counted internally as a followed

   redirect and thus prevents a weird error that would occur if a FTP
