  libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
  the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
  write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.

  QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
  already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
  the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
  hang.

- Introduced a SYST-based test to properly set-up name format when dealing  with the OS/400 FTP server.
- Fixed an ftp_readresp() bug preventing detection of failing control socket  and causing FTP client to loop forever.

ftp://example.com;type=i if the user specified ftp://example.com without the
slash.

  strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his
  suggest patch to now have Curl_retry_request() return a regular return code
  and better check that.

  Fix SIGSEGV on free'd easy_conn when pipe unexpectedly breaks
  Fix data corruption issue with re-connected transfers
  Fix use after free if we're completed but easy_conn not NULL

  sending of the TSIZE option. I don't like fixing bugs just hours before
  a release, but since it was broken and the patch fixes this for him I decided
  to get it in anyway.

  each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
  verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
  specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a
  subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified
  in test 311.

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2835196), fixing a few compiler
  warnings when mixing ints and bools.

fix cast for some systems which are broken due to absense of socklen_t, therefore now use curl_socklen_t.

POSIX.1-2001. Note that RFC 2553 defines a prototype where the last parameter cnt is of type size_t.
Many systems follow RFC 2553. Glibc 2.0 and 2.1 have size_t, but 2.2 has socklen_t.

and the name length differ in those cases and thus leave the matching function
unmodified from before, as the matching functions never have to bother with
the zero bytes in legitimate cases. Peter Sylvester helped me realize that
this fix is slightly better as it leaves more code unmodified and makes the
detection a bit more obvious in the code.

Cantor. My previous attempt was half-baked and didn't cover the normal CN
case.

  should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
  now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
  shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
  Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
  option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert
  verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation
  he did at Black Hat is available here:
  https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike

  Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a
  zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes
  were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like
  if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would
  happily verify that cert for example.com.

  libcurl now better use the length of the extracted name, not assuming it is
  zero terminated.

  only in some OpenSSL installs - like on Windows) isn't thread-safe and we
  agreed that moving it to the global_init() function is a decent way to deal
  with this situation.

  CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually
  could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.

  CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
  send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
  from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
  response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
  chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.

"you replaced the old SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() call
with OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(), however unlike the name suggests,
the second function is not a superset of the first. When using SSL
both these functions will need to be called in order to offer complete
functionality"

  out that OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm,
  and provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() instead
  of the older SSLeay_* alternative. OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms was added in
  OpenSSL 0.9.5
