ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on
  each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be
  incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by
  Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed
  if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the
  reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling
  SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid
  introducing a memory leak.

  command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
  a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
  seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
  it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
  usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
  that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
