History of Changes
+Daniel (24 March 2001)
+- Colin Watson reported about a problem and brought a patch that corrected it,
+ which was about the man page and lines starting with a single quote (') in a
+ way that gnroff doesn't like.
+
+Daniel (23 March 2001)
+- Peter Bray reported correctly that the root makefile used make instead of
+ $(MAKE) for the test target.
+
+- Corrected the Curl::easy perl interface to use curl_easy_setopt() and not
+ curl_setopt() which was removed in 7.7!
+
+- SM provided updates on three documents (MANUAL, INSTALL and FAQ).
+
+- When following a Location:, libcurl would sometimes write to the URL string
+ in a way it shouldn't. As the pointer is passed-in to libcurl from an
+ application, we can't be allowed to write to it. The particular bug report
+ from 'nk' that brought this up was because he had a read-only URL that then
+ caused a libcurl crash!
+
+- No longer reads HEAD responses longer than to the last header. Previously,
+ curl would read the full reply if the connection was a "close" one.
+
+- libcurl did re-use connections way too much. Doing "curl
+ http://www.{microsoft,ibm}.com" would make it re-use the connection which
+ made the second request return very odd results.
+
+Daniel (22 March 2001)
+- Edin Kadribasic made me aware that curl should not re-send POST requests
+ when following 302-redirects. I made 302 work like 303 which means curl uses
+ GET in the following request(s).
+
+- libcurl now reset the "followed-location" counter on each invoke of
+ curl_easy_perform() as it otherwise would sum up all redirects on the same
+ connection and thus could reach the maxredirs counter wrongly.
+
+- Jim Drash suggested curl_escape() should not re-encode what already looks
+ like an encoded sequence and I think that's a fair suggestion.
+
Version 7.7
