                               History of Changes

- I took hold of Rick Jones' question why we don't use recv() and send() for

  reading/writing to the sockets and I've now modified the sread() and

  swrite() macros to use them instead. If nothing else, they could be tested

  in the next beta-round coming right up.

- Jeff Morrow found a problem with libcurl's usage of SSL_read() and supplied

  his research results in how to fix this. It turns out we have to invoke the

  function several times in some cases. The same goes for the SSL_write().

  I made some rather drastic changes all over libcurl to make all writes and

  reads get done on one single place so that this repeated-attempts thing

  would only have to be implemented at one point.

- Rick Jones spotted that the 'total time' counter really didn't measure the

  total time very accurate on subsecond levels.

- Johan Nilsson pointed out the need to more clearly specify that the timeout

  value you set for a download is for the *entire* download. There's currently

  no option available that sets a timeout for the connection phase only.

- Ingo Ralf Blum submitted a series of patches required to get curl to compile

  properly with cygwin.

- Made the URL globbing in the client possible to fail silently if there's an

  error in the globbing. It makes it almost intuitive, so when you don't

  follow the syntax rules, globbing is simply switched off the the raw string

  follow the syntax rules, globbing is simply switched off and the raw string

  is used instead.

  I still think we'll get problems with IPv6-style IP-addresses when we *want*
