  CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP.

  and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
  timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
  is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
  seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.

  Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
  means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
  timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
  equals 24.86 days.  We probably couldn't before either since the code did
  *1000 on the timeout values on several places already.

  doing an FTP transfer is removed from a multi handle before completion. The
  fix also fixed the "alive counter" to be correct on "premature removal" for
  all protocols.

  curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it
  will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a
  FTP-SSL operation.

  get confused and not acknowledge the 'no_proxy' variable properly once it
  had used the proxy and you re-used the same easy handle. I made sure the
  proxy name is properly stored in the connect struct rather than the
  sessionhandle/easy struct.

(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.

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=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.

could very well cause a negate number get passed in and thus cause reading
outside of the array usually used for this purpose.

We avoid this by using the uppercase macro versions introduced just now that
does some extra crazy typecasts to avoid byte codes > 127 to cause negative
int values.

is still trying to resolve the host name, it seems that the ftp struct is not
yet initialized, but the removal action calls Curl_done() which calls
Curl_ftp_done. So we simply return success from there if no ftp pointer is
set.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele Bini
and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on windows to
get error details after socket-related function calls, when it really should
use WSAGetLastError() instead.

When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead
called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from
socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
