the same state struct as the host auth, so both could never be used at the
same time! I fixed it (without being able to check) to use two separate
structs to allow authentication using Negotiate on host and proxy
simultanouesly.

data sent in a post.

callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing
HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped
size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent
in one single send.  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html

huge send buffer sizes

forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally
submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory
references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was
setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I
make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct
member.

out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP
ones.  I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should
use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch for indent changes as
well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.

out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the
inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C"
linkage block.

happened when a user had a home dir as an empty string. curl would then do
free() on a wrong area.

due to a missing header file.

always, except when --without-libssh2 was given

all the numericals at the top phrased "shorter" and I cut out the "number of
releases since the very beginning" since that's just the number curl releases
+ 26 and not a very interesting number anyway.

with NSS

Previously it would fail if the ca bundle wasn't present, even if the code
ignored the verification results.

lib is built shared with libtool.

building with VC8 to get the "manifest" embedded to make fine stand-alone
binaries. The maketgz and the src/Makefile.vc6 files were adjusted
accordingly.

that libcurl tried to re-use connections a bit too much when using non-SSL
protocols tunneled over a HTTP proxy.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to
FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two
fixes:

#1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with
     at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be
     used by another connection.
     Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP.

#2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees
     data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the
     SessionHandle was used by a different connection).

that specifying a proxy with a trailing slash didn't work (unless it also
contained a port number).

string: "FLUSH". Using that will cause libcurl to flush its cookies to the
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR file.

This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind()
without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a
test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will
have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so
many different hosts in different situations I add it in disabled state.

CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace
the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change
address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace
indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry
for mixing those in.)

CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make
the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public
key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.

Added test case 1008 to verify. Note that #47 is still there.

function do wrong on all input bytes that are >= 0x80 (decimal 128) due to a
signed / unsigned mistake in the code. I fixed it and added test case 543 to
verify.

previous proto struct was kept.

notifier callback(s).
