libcurl parses most of them identically, but not all of them.

  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.

bugs we know about that will appear in the next release (too)

  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.

config.h issue hasn't been completely solved.  This will save some effort
for someone desperate to use curl on Android.

Fix OS400 makefile for tests to use the new Makefile.inc in libtest
Update the OS400 wrappers and RPG binding according to the current CVS source state

now since we won't manage to get them done for 7.19.6.

torture tests to fail.

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.

  ares_cancel() is used, to be ARES_ECANCELLED instead of ARES_ETIMEOUT to
  better allow the callback to know what's happening.

yet another issue not yet sorted out

  fails to get inited by other means. This fixes a case of when the c-ares
  init fails when internet access is fone.

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.
