the new HTTP headers

                                  Changelog

Daniel (11 May 2005)

- Starting now, libcurl sends a little different set of headers in its default

  HTTP requests:

  A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:

    - no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)

  B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:

    - "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)

    - "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)

  C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:

    - "Host: [name]:[port]"

    - "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"

  The A) case is mostly to reduce the default header size and remove a

  pointless header.

  The B) is to address (rare) problems with HTTP 1.0 proxies

  The C) headers are both to address (rare) problems with some proxies. The

  code in libcurl that deals with CONNECT requests need a rewrite, but it

  feels like a too big a job for me to do now. Details are added in the code

  comments for now.

  Updated a large amount of test cases to reflect the news.

- Sort of "fixed" KNOWN_BUGS #4: curl now builds IPv6 enabled on AIX 4.3. At

  least it should no longer cause a compiler error. However, it does not have

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o docs/THANKS now contains all known contributors

 o builds out-of-the-box on (presumably ipv6-enabled) AIX 4.3 hosts
