CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE), add a cookie (with CURLOPT_COOKIELIST), tell it to
  write the result to a given cookie jar and then never actually call
  curl_easy_perform() - the given file(s) to read was never read but the
  output file was written and thus it caused a "funny" result.

- While doing some tests for the bug above, I noticed that Firefox generates
  large numbers (for the expire time) in the cookies.txt file and libcurl
  didn't treat them properly. Now it does.

fails to open/read files etc to help users diagnose why it doesn't do what
you'd expect it to. Converted lots of old messages to use the new generic
function I wrote for this purpose.

site responds with bad HTTP response that doesn't contain any header at all,
only a response body, and the write callback returns 0 to abort the
transfer, it didn't have any real effect but the write callback would be
called once more anyway.

  converts the request to a GET, but now instead makes it a POST of no data

zone name of a daylight savings time was used. For example, PDT vs PDS. This
flaw was introduced with the new date parser (11 sep 2004 - 7.12.2).
Fortunately, no web server or cookie string etc should be using such time
zone names thus limiting the effect of this bug.

HTTP proxy if an FTP URL was given. libcurl now properly switches to pure HTTP
internally when an HTTP proxy is used, even for FTP URLs. The problem would
also occur with other multi-pass auth methods.

--features was used
