  There's a compilation error in http_ntlm.c if USE_NTLM2SESSION is NOT
  defined.  I noticed this while testing various configurations.  Line 867 of
  the current http_ntlm.c is a closing bracket for an if/else pair that only
  gets compiled in if USE_NTLM2SESSION is defined.  But this closing bracket
  wasn't in an #ifdef so the code fails to compile unless USE_NTLM2SESSION was
  defined.  Lines 198 and 140 of my patch wraps that closing bracket in an
  #ifdef USE_NTLM2SESSION.

  I noticed several picky compiler warnings when DEBUG_ME is defined.  I've
  fixed them with casting.  By the way, DEBUG_ME was a huge help in

'curl [URL]' with a URL without a protocol prefix, curl would not send a

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1618359) and subsequently provided a
patch for it: when downloading 2 zero byte files in a row, curl 7.16.0
enters an infinite loop, while curl 7.16.1-20061218 does one additional
unnecessary request.

Fix: During the "Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and
shared connection cache within the multi handle." change, headerbytecount
was moved to live in the Curl_transfer_keeper structure. But that structure
is reset in the Transfer method, losing the information that we had about
the header size. This patch moves it back to the connectdata struct.

during certain conditions when GnuTLS is used.

something went wrong like it got a bad response code back from the server,
libcurl would leak memory. Added test case 538 to verify the fix.

I also noted that the connection would get cached in that case, which
doesn't make sense since it cannot be re-use when the authentication has
failed. I fixed that issue too at the same time, and also that the path
would be "remembered" in vain for cases where the connection was about to
get closed.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) which is about connections
getting cut off prematurely when --limit-rate is used. While I found no such
problems in my tests nor in my reading of the code, I found that the
--limit-rate code was severly flawed (since it was moved into the lib, since
7.15.5) when used with the easy interface and it didn't work as documented so
I reworked it somewhat and now it works for my tests.

passing a curl_off_t argument to the Curl_read_rewind() function which takes
an size_t argument. Curl_read_rewind() also had debug code left in it and it
was put in a different source file with no good reason when only used from
one single spot.

no code present in the library that receives the option. Since it was not
possible to use, we know that no current users exist and thus we simply
removed it from the docs and made the code always use the default path of
the code.

CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to zero caused libcurl to SIGSEGV. Starting now, libcurl

Curl_done()

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1230118) curl_getdate() did not work
properly for all input dates on Windows. It was mostly seen on some TZ time
zones using DST. Luckily, Martin also provided a fix.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1600447) in which he noted that active
FTP connections don't work with the multi interface. The problem is here that
the multi interface state machine has a state during which it can wait for the
data connection to connect, but the active connection is not done in the same
step in the sequence as the passive one is so it doesn't quite work for
active. The active FTP code still use a blocking function to allow the remote
server to connect.

The fix (work-around is a better word) for this problem is to set the
boolean prematurely that the data connection is completed, so that the "wait
for connect" phase ends at once.

HTTP upload was disconnected:

"What appears to be happening is that my system (Linux 2.6.17 and 2.6.13) is
setting *only* POLLHUP on poll() when the conditions in my previous mail
occur. As you can see, select.c:Curl_select() does not check for POLLHUP. So
basically what was happening, is poll() was returning immediately (with
POLLHUP set), but when Curl_select() looked at the bits, neither POLLERR or
POLLOUT was set. This still caused Curl_readwrite() to be called, which
quickly returned. Then the transfer() loop kept continuing at full speed
forever."

responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.

To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
cases got really painful and boring.
