Changelog

+- 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.
+
+Version 7.14.0-pre1 (9 May 2005)
