- When using the multi interface with FTP and you asked for NOBODY, you did no
QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
hang.

- Peter Sylvester made the HTTPS test server use specific certificates for
each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a
subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified
in test 311.

- Benbuck Nason posted the bug report #2835196
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2835196), fixing a few compiler
warnings when mixing ints and bools.

Fixed a memory leak in the FTP code and an off-by-one heap buffer overflow.

Fixed some memory leaks in the command-line tool that caused most of the
torture tests to fail.

- Curt Bogmine reported a problem with SNI enabled on a particular server. We
should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?

- Scott Cantor posted the bug report #2829955
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert
verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation
he did at Black Hat is available here:
https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike

Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a
zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes
were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like
if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would
happily verify that cert for example.com.

libcurl now better use the length of the extracted name, not assuming it is
zero terminated.

- All the quote options (CURLOPT_QUOTE, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE and
CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.
