fixes from the last week+

                                  Changelog

Daniel (12 May)

- George Comninos pointed out that libcurl uploads had two quirks:

   o when using FTP PORT command, it used blocking sockets!

   o it could loop a long time without doing progress meter updates

  Both items are fixed now.

Daniel (9 May)

- Dan Fandrich changed CURLOPT_ENCODING to select all supported encodings if

  set to "".  This frees the application from having to know which encodings

  the library supports.

- Dan Fandrich pointed out we had three unnecessary files in CVS that is

  generated with libtoolize, so they're now removed and libtoolize is invoked

  accordinly in the buildconf script.

- Avery Fay found out that the CURLOPT_INTERFACE way of first checking if the

  given name is a network interface gave a real performance penalty on Linux,

  so now we more appropriately first check if it is an IP number and if so

  we don't check for a network interface with that name.

- CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT added. Set this to FALSE to disable libcurl's attempts

  to use EPRT and LPRT before the traditional PORT command. The command line

  tool sets this option with '--disable-eprt'.

Daniel (6 May)

- Kevin Delafield reported another case where we didn't correctly check for

  EAGAIN but only EWOULDBLOCK, which caused badness on HPUX.

Daniel (4 May)

- Ben Greear noticed that the check for 'writable argv' exited the configure

  script when run for cross-compiling, which wasn't nice. Now it'll default to

  no and output a warning about the fact that it was not checked for.

Daniel (2 May)

- Added test case 62 and fixed some more on the cookie sending with a custom

  Host: header set.

Daniel (1 May)

- Andy Cedilnik fixed a few compiler warnings.

- Made the "SSL read error: 5" error message more verbose, by adding code that

  queries the OpenSSL library to fill in the error buffer.

Daniel (30 Apr)

- Added sys/select.h include in the curl/multi.h file, after having been

  reminded about this by Rich Gray.

- I made each test set its own server requirements, thus abandoning the

  previous system where the test number implied what server(s) to use for a

  specific test.

- David Balazic made curl more RFC1738-compliant for FTP URLs, by fixing so

  that libcurl now uses one CWD command for each path part. A bunch of test

  cases were fixed to work accordingly.

  To make item C really good, I also made libcurl notice custom Host: headers

  and extract the host name set in there and use that as the host name for the

  site we're getting the cookies from. This allows user to specify a site's

  IP-address, but still be able to receive its cookies properly if you provide

  a valid Host: name for the site.

  IP-address, but still be able to receive and send its cookies properly if

  you provide a valid Host: name for the site.

Daniel (29 Apr)

- Peter Kovacs provided a patch that makes the CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME work fine
