condition were encountered.

the curl_multi_socket() API with HTTP pipelining enabled and could lead to
the pipeline basically stalling for a very long period of time until it took
off again.

Andreas Faerber and Scott McCreary made (lib)curl build for the Haiku OS

David Rosenstrauch reported that header files spnegohelp.h and
openssl/objects.h were needed to compile SPNEGO support.

- When trying to repeat a multi interface problem I fell over a few multi
interface problems:

o with pipelining disabled, the state should never be set to WAITDO but
rather go straight to DO

o we had multiple states for which the internal function returned no socket
at all to wait for, with the effect that libcurl calls the socket callback
(when curl_multi_socket() is used) with REMOVE prematurely (as it would be
added again within very shortly)

o when in DO and DOING states, the HTTP and HTTPS protocol handler functions
didn't return that the socket should be waited for writing, but instead it
was treated as if no socket was needing monitoring so again REMOVE was
called prematurely.

and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform()
and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to
show how they can be used.

Internal time differences now use monotonic time source if available.
This also implies the removal of the winmm.lib dependency for WIN32.

- Stefan Krause reported a busy-looping case when using the multi interface
and doing CONNECT to a proxy. The app would then busy-loop until the proxy
completed its response.

- Ben Van Hof filed bug report #1945240: "libcurl sometimes sends body twice
when using CURL_AUTH_ANY" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1945240).
The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it
would prepare for a second request, it could accidentally continue the
sending of the rewound data on the first request instead of on the second.
Ben also provided test case 1030 that verifies this fix.

- Jean-Francois Bertrand reported a libcurl crash with CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY
since libcurl used getprotobyname() and that isn't thread-safe. We now
switched to use IPPROTO_TCP unconditionally, but perhaps the proper fix is
to detect the thread-safe version of the function and use that.

- To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done on
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
