The built-in user-agent will now only say curl/[version] and nothing
else in an attempt to decrease overhead in HTTP requests.

Roman Mamedov spotted (in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670126) that curl would
not complain when given a URL with an IPv6 numerical address without
brackets. It would simply cut off the last ":[hex]" part and thus not
work correctly.

That's a URL using an illegal syntax and now libcurl will instead return
a clear error code and error message detailing the error.

The above mentioned bug report claims this to be a regression but
libcurl does not guarantee functionality when given URLs that aren't
following the URL spec (RFC3986 mostly). I consider the fact that it
used to handle this differently a mere coincidence.

Added version information for Windows SSPI to curl's main version
string and removed SSPI from the features string.

When doing a chunked-encoded POST with -d (CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS) and the
size of the POST was zero length, it made libcurl first send a zero
chunk and then the terminating one. This could confuse a receiver and it
should rather just send the terminating chunk as it does with this fix.

Test case 1333 is added to verify.

Commit 9109cdec brought this regression (shipped since 7.24.0).

The singleipconnect() function must not return an error if Curl_socket()
returns an error. It should then simply return OK and pass a SOCKET_BAD
back simply because that is how the user of this function expects it to
work and something else is not fine.

Fail with CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN when none of requested auth methods is supported.

Reject CURLAUTH_ONLY bit when given alone or with CURLAUTH_NONE.

Data type of internal vars holding CURLAUTH_* bitmasks changed from 'long' to
'unsigned long' for proper handling and operating.

Info: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-04/0170.html

Explicit conversion to 'long' of curl_easy_setopt() third argument for options
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH and CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH given that this is how its bitmasks are
docummented to be used.

By comparing if a different "progress point" is reached or not since the
previous update, the progress function callback for this now avoids many
superfluous screen updates. This has the nice side-effect that it fixes
a problem that causes a second progress meter line.

The second line output happened because when we use the -# progress
meter, we force a newline output after the transfer in the main loop in
curl, but when libcurl calls the progress callback from
curl_easy_cleanup() it would then output the progress display
again. Possibly the naive newline output is wrong but this optimization
was suitable anyway...
