Removed Unix-specific functionality in order to support Windows:
- select.epoll replaced with select.select
- SocketServer.ForkingMixIn replaced with SocketServer.ForkingMixIn
- socket.MSG_DONTWAIT replaced with socket.setblocking(False)

Even though epoll has a better performance and improved socket handling
than select, this change should not affect the actual test case.

The list was out of date and the paragraph already refers to the
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH explanation. All the auth bits are explained properly
there.

It also removes the ambiguity for what the "added" phrase refers to.

This change based on pull request #85 on github

Make it possible to call
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD, &filesize)
and related functions on remote sftp:// files, without downloading them.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2014-01/0139.html

This covers changes from commit afd288b2.

This prevents sending a `Content-Length: -1` header, e.g this ocurred
with the following combination:

* standard HTTP POST (no chunked encoding),
* user-defined read function set,
* `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE(_LARGE)` NOT set.

With this fix it now behaves like HTTP PUT.

Make GnuTLS old and new consistent, specify the desired protocol, cipher
and certificate type in always in both modes. Disable insecure ciphers
as reported by howsmyssl.com. Honor not only --sslv3, but also the
--tlsv1[.N] switches.

Due to the changes in commit 3c929ff9 and lack of subsequent
updates, curl could return a CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED error if
checkpasswd() ran out of memory in versions 7.33.0 and 7.34.0.

Updated the function declaration and return code to return
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY and CURLE_OK where appropriate.

conversion from 'curl_off_t' to 'size_t', possible loss of data

Where curl_off_t is a 64-bit word and size_t is 32-bit - for example
with 32-bit Windows builds.

In the rare instance where getparameter() may return PARAM_NO_MEM whilst
parsing a URL, cURL would return this error code, which is equivalent to
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED in cURL error codes terms.

Instead, return CURLE_FAILED_INIT and output the failure reason as per
the other usage of getparameter().

Increasing the update frequency of the progress bar to 10Hz greatly
improves the visual appearance of the progress bar (at least in my
impression).

Currently, the progress bar is updated at 5Hz. Because it is often not
updated to 100% when the download is finished and curl exits, the bar
is often "stuck" at 90-something, thus irritating the user.

This patch fixes this by always updating the progress bar (instead of
waiting for 200ms to have elapsed) while the download is finished but
curl has not yet exited. This should not greatly affect performance
because that moment is rather short.

A follow up patch to commit d2671340 as _WIN32_WINNT_WIN2K and
_WIN32_WINNT_WIN2K may not be defined on all systems.

Following some auto build failures after commit c7a76bb0 changed
the preprocessor check to use _WIN32_WINNT.

1 - allow >31 bit max-age values

2 - don't overflow on extremely large max-age values when we add the
value to the current time

3 - make sure max-age takes precedence over expires as dictated by
RFC6265

As was introduced in 8f6b4be8af04

Allow for chunked-encoding data to get parsed with only LF line endings.
This is allowed by browsers.

Also, make the ftp server return a canned response that doesn't
cause XML verification problems.  Although the test file format
isn't technically XML, it's still handy to be able to use XML
tools to verify and manipulate them.

The issue is with HP-UX that is comes with HP flavor of MIT
Kerberos. This means that there is no krb5-config and the lib is called
libgss.so
