- Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur!

- Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too

  easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving.

- Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe

  Mitz Wark's problems are fixed.

- Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a

  flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is

  provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always

  used as user name).

- Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage.

Daniel (30 March 2004)

- Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the

  particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel.  I've now

  written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID

  implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still

  experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug

  (5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file."

- I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems

  to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the

  response header).

- Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name

  lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get

  completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this.

- David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely

  even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151

  and 152 were added to verify the functionality.
