on lots of perl versions, provide our own base64 decoder

that!

with binary data.

If EPSV, EPRT or LPRT is tried and doesn't work, it will not be retried on
the same server again even if a following request is made using a persistent
connection.

If a second request is made to a server, requesting a file from the same
directory as the previous request operated on, libcurl will no longer make
that long series of CWD commands just to end up on the same spot. Note that
this is only for *exactly* the same dir. There is still room for improvements
to optimize the CWD-sending when the dirs are only slightly different.

Added test 210, 211 and 212 to verify these changes. Had to improve the
test script too and added a new primitive to the test file format.

it actually can run and test the FD_SETSIZE stuff it is meant to test

systems that can't run it fine.

file that was already completely downloaded caused an error, while it
doesn't if you don't use --fail! I added test case 194 to verify the fix.
Grrr. CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is now added to the list stuff to remove in
libcurl v8 due to all the kludges needed to support it.

is used at times but it doesn't decrease the array size

like that name)

and password fields properly in URLs, like
ftp://us?er:pass?word@site.com/. Added test 191 to verify the fix.

on my solaris 2.7 box too (currently unknown perl version)

for maximum portability

CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, libcurl reported error if a redirect happened even if
the new URL would provide the resumed file. Test case 188 added to verify the
fix (together with existing test 99).

allow verbose output during this period. Bertrand Demiddelaer reported and
helped fixing.

  formposts no longer include the path part. If you _really_ want them, you
  must provide your preferred full file name with CURLFORM_FILENAME.

  Added detection for libgen.h and basename() to configure. My custom
  basename() replacement function for systems without it, might be a bit too
  naive...

  Updated 6 test cases to make them work with the stripped paths.

it resolving nicely
