--keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took
the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to
no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in
these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new
option.

code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
curl_easy_setopt() option.

The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
proxy.  The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.

proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
pass on the IP address only to the proxy.

is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead
of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5).  --socks4a is
the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to
CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.

added the --no-keep-alive option that can disable that on demand.

My understanding is that we use "number" for discrete variables and
"amount" for continuous variables.

So you can say "The amount of flour required depends on..." or, "Last
night I consumed a large amount of beer!".

And, "That tank contains a large number of fish" or, "Over the week I
consumed a number of cases of beer."

I think that features are discrete, so the man page would read "...the
number of features will make your head spin!".

CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (standard CURL_NO_OLDIES style), and made this
return code get used by the previous SSH MD5 fingerprint check in case it
fails.

CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make
the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public
key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.

the --proxy-negotiate command line option to allow a user to explicitly
select it.

o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
  then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
  those exist.

o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
  loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
  certificates already in the NSS database are used.

o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
  thing is done

o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
  including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
  verbose mode

o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)

The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
keys.

- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
  CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
  internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
  preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
  command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.
