but I'm not in the mood to fight nroff right now...

  make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding
  these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator
  that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.

for spotting it).

  curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
  deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
  the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
  both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.

  CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who
  don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the
  libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the
  subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the
  patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302
  option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.

  enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS
  or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info
  can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with
  curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing
  helped me test and smoothen out this feature.

  Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use
  OpenSSL.

  This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!

  CURLOPT_FAILONERROR with FTP to detect if a file exists or not, but it is
  not working: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-07/0295.html

  Server with the correct content-length.  Sending a file with 511 or less
  bytes, content-length 512 is used.  Sending a file with 513 - 1023 bytes,
  content-length 1024 is used.  Files with a length of a multiple of 512 Bytes
  show the correct content-length. Only these files work for upload.
