http request and then you'd reuse the handle and replace the Accept: header,
  as then libcurl would send two Accept: headers!

moved info block up before help block so that it can also be displayed before help option; trial to add a version number.

when verifying the https and ftps servers

timeout passed to startnew, when this happens startnew completes without being
able to read the pidfile and consequently returns a zero pid2.

To fix the above posibility the server pid is recovered from the verification
stage which will actually return the server pid when verification is valid.

Feb 7 that didn't abort properly on timeouts. These are actually old
problems but now they should be fixed.

added -t switch to make text info of CAs optional;
added -q switch to be really quiet.

out and provides test program that demonstrates that libcurl might not set
error description message for error CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST for Windows
threaded name resolver builds. Fixed now.

Make sure that the sftp client tool uses the ssh client binary that we have
used to generate the configuration files, otherwise sftp might be using one
located in the preferred path compiled into sftp.

make use of mv's backup feature so that calling the ca-bundle target more than once will never fail; ignore error which can occure if for whatever reason there's no orignial ca-bundle.crt to rename.

Removed a few unnecessary requires SSL statements.

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1889856): When using the gnutls ssl
  layer, cleaning-up and reinitializing curl ends up with https requests
  failing with "ASN1 parser: Element was not found" errors. Obviously a
  regression added in 7.16.3.

all curl's tests generated configuration and key files are fine, a real
connection is established to the test harness sftp server authenticating
and running a simple sftp remote pwd command.

The verification is done using OpenSSH's or SunSSH's sftp client tool with
a configuration file with the same options as the test harness socks server
with the exception that dynamic forwarding is not used for sftp.

instead of downloading it from the curl site

creates a suitable ca-bundle.crt file in PEM format for use with curl. The
recommended way to run it is to use 'make ca-bundle' in the build tree root.

it works the same way for configure-based platforms as for non-configure ones

for now this does rename the existing ca-bundle.crt to ca-bundle.crt.old;
maybe we can remove this once we are 100% sure that the new script works properly, and just overwrite the shipping one?
