curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.

Not extensively tested. Please let me know how it works.

connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP
connection is re-setup and 2) it does make the max-redirs counter behave
wrong. This fix was not verified since the reporter vanished, but I believe
this is the right fix nonetheless.

even after EPSV returned a positive response code, if libcurl failed to
connect to the port number the EPSV response said. Obviously some people are
going through protocol-sensitive firewalls (or similar) that don't understand
EPSV and then they don't allow the second connection unless PASV was
used. This also called for a minor fix of test case 238.

didn't work.

not supporting it. It hasn't been functioning for years anyway, so this is
just finally stating what already was true. And a cleanup at the same time.

into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you
are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup().
Bryan also updated the docs accordingly.

test script to kill all processes in the current process group!

HTTP proxy.

given subdirs, libcurl would still "remember" the full path as if it is the
current directory libcurl is in so that the next curl_easy_perform() would
get really confused if it tried the same path again - as it would not issue
any CWD commands at all, assuming it is already in the "proper" dir.

Starting now, a failed CWD command sets a flag that prevents the path to be
"remembered" after returning.

actually used a new connection and not sent the second request on the first
socket!

password of 127 bytes or less embedded in a URL, where actually the code
uses a 255 byte buffer for it! Modified now to use the full buffer size.

file descriptor if given a non-existing file.

installed on 'make install' time.

limit-rate units: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338681 Now
curl will return error if a bad unit is used.

http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2001/06/poll.html and further tests by Eugene
Kotlyarov, we now know that cygwin's poll returns only POLLHUP on remote
connection closure so we check for that case (too) and re-enable poll for
cygwin builds.

right: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-11/0045.html so we now disable
poll() and use select() on cygwin too (we already do the same choice on Mac OS
X)

client certificates! (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1348930).

step counter by adding :[num] within the brackets when specifying a range.

we really have no use for reverse lookups of the address.

I truly hope these are the last reverse lookups we had lingering in the
code!

The LDAP code in libcurl can't handle LDAP servers of LDAPv3 nor binary
attributes in LDAP objects. So, I made a quick patch to address these
problems.

The solution is simple: if we connect to an LDAP server, first try LDAPv3
(which is the preferred protocol as of now) and then fall back to LDAPv2.
In case of binary attributes, we first convert them to base64, just like the
openldap client does. It uses ldap_get_values_len() instead of
ldap_get_values() to be able to retrieve binary attributes correctly. I
defined the necessary LDAP macros in lib/ldap.c to be able to compile
libcurl without the presence of libldap

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1337723) that curl could not upload
binary data from stdin on Windows if the data contained control-Z (hex 1a)
since that is treated as end-of-file when read in text mode. Gisle Vanem
pointed out the fix, and I made both -T and --data-binary take advantage of
it.

in the man page, curl would send an invalid HTTP Range: header. The correct
way would be to use "-r [number]-" or even "-r -[number]". Starting now,
curl will warn if this is discovered, and automatically append a dash to the
range before passing it to libcurl.
