The LDAP code in libcurl can't handle LDAP servers of LDAPv3 nor binary
attributes in LDAP objects. So, I made a quick patch to address these
problems.

The solution is simple: if we connect to an LDAP server, first try LDAPv3
(which is the preferred protocol as of now) and then fall back to LDAPv2.
In case of binary attributes, we first convert them to base64, just like the
openldap client does. It uses ldap_get_values_len() instead of
ldap_get_values() to be able to retrieve binary attributes correctly. I
defined the necessary LDAP macros in lib/ldap.c to be able to compile
libcurl without the presence of libldap

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1337723) that curl could not upload
binary data from stdin on Windows if the data contained control-Z (hex 1a)
since that is treated as end-of-file when read in text mode. Gisle Vanem
pointed out the fix, and I made both -T and --data-binary take advantage of
it.

in the man page, curl would send an invalid HTTP Range: header. The correct
way would be to use "-r [number]-" or even "-r -[number]". Starting now,
curl will warn if this is discovered, and automatically append a dash to the
range before passing it to libcurl.

CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY and CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST on resolving
errors (as documented).

(wrongly) sends *two* WWW-Authenticate headers for Digest. While this should
never happen in a sane world, libcurl previously got into an infinite loop
when this occurred. Dave added test 273 to verify this.

reported, the define is used by the configure script and is assumed to use
the 0xYYXXZZ format. This made "curl-config --vernum" fail in the 7.15.0
release version.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1299181) that identified a silly problem
with Content-Range: headers with the 'bytes' keyword written in a different
case than all lowercase! It would cause a segfault!

the modified FTPS negotiation change of August 19 2005. Thus, we revert the
change back to pre-7.14.1 status.

for Windows, that could lead to an Access Violation when the multi interface
was used due to an issue with how the resolver thread was and was not
terminated.

from the command line tool with --ignore-content-length. This will make it
easier to download files from Apache 1.x (and similar) servers that are
still having problems serving files larger than 2 or 4 GB. When this option
is enabled, curl will simply have to wait for the server to close the
connection to signal end of transfer. I wrote test case 269 that runs a
simple test that this works.

previously failed due to GnuTLS not allowing x509 v1 CA certs by default.

that made curl run fine in his end. The key was to make sure we do the
SSL/TLS negotiation immediately after the TCP connect is done and not after
a few other commands have been sent like we did previously. I don't consider
this change necessary to obey the standards, I think this server is pickier
than what the specs allow it to be, but I can't see how this modified
libcurl code can add any problems to those who are interpreting the
standards more liberally.

  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.

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
