- I worked with Georg Horn and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell and switch

- I made the 'bool' typedef use an "unsigned char". It makes it the same on

  curl's socket operation completely over to non-blocking for the entire

  all platforms, no matter what the platform thinks the default format for

  operation. We had to do this to make the SSL connection phase timeout

  char is. This was noticed since we made a silly comparison involving such a

  properly without signals. A little extra code to deal with this was added.

  bool variable, and only one compiler/platform combination (on Debian Linux)

  complained about it (that happened to have its char unsigned by default).

- Bug report #495290 identified a cookie parsing problem that was corrected.

  When a Set-Cookie: line is received without a trailing semicolon, libcurl

  didn't read the last "name=value" pair of the line, leading to confusions...

- Sterling committed his updated DNS cache code.

- I worked with Georg Horn and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell and switched

  curl's socket operations completely over to non-blocking for the entire

  operation (previously we used non-blocking only for the connection phase).

  We had to do this to make the SSL connection phase timeout properly without

  the use of signals. A little extra code to deal with this was added.

- T. Bharath pointed out a slightly obscure cookie engine flaw.
