function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
  function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the
  socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it
  allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
  curl_multi_socket*().

for a host which was supposed not to exist.

name longer than the name field of the ifreq struct (typically 6 bytes), as
then it wouldn't close the used dummy socket.

easy handles are added to a multi handle, by avoiding the looping over all
the handles to find which one to remove.

uses poll() when a fine poll() is available, so now libcurl can be
built without select() support at all if a fine poll() is available.

or Curl_poll() with a non-zero timeout both functions would restart the
specified timeout. This could even lead to the extreme case that if a
signal arrived with a frecuency lower to the specified timeout neither
function would ever exit.

Added experimental symbol definition check CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR in
Curl_select() and Curl_poll(). When compiled with CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR
defined both functions will return as soon as a signal is caught. Use it
at your own risk, all calls to these functions in the library should be
revisited and checked before fully supporting this feature.

more frequently allowing same calling frecuency for the client progress
callback, while keeping the once a second frecuency for speed calculations
and internal display of the transfer progress.

  you can now use [1-1] without curl complaining.

  1) the progress callback gets called more frequently (at times)
  2) libcurl *might* call the callback when it receives a signal

appropriate test case to use it.  For now, this is treated the same as the
"SSL" feature because curl doesn't list it separately.

  makefiles that are included in the source release archives, generated from

  server through a proxy and have the remote https server port set using the
  CURLOPT_PORT option, protocol gets reset to http from https after the first
  request.

  User defined URL was modified internally by libcurl and subsequent reuse of
  the easy handle may lead to connection using a different protocol (if not
  originally http).

  I found that libcurl hardcoded the protocol to "http" when it tries to
  regenerate the URL if CURLOPT_PORT is set. I tried to fix the problem as
  follows and it's working fine so far
