ignore the getpart tool

close the connection when a bad test number was requested

Ton Voon provided a configure fix that should fix the notorious (mostly
reported on Solaris) problem where the size_t check fails due to the SSL libs
being found in a dir not searched through

Bryan Henderson pointed out in bug report #1081788 that the curl-config

Rene Bernhardt found and fixed a buffer overrun in the NTLM code, where
libcurl always and unconditionally overwrote a stack-based array with 3 zero
bytes. I edited the fix to make it less likely to occur again (and added
a comment explaining the reason to the buffer size).

minor updates

NORECURSE clarification, minor formatting update

CURLFTPSSL_ALL should make sure that the transfer fails if the data connection
isn't set to encrypted properly

Fixed so that the final error message is sent to the verbose info "stream"
even if no errorbuffer is set.

Gisle Vanem's fix for better info messages when failing to connect using
the multi interface

'crypto_engine' not used.

Replace MINGW32 with built-in __MINGW32__.

HTTP PUT a to a FTP URL with username+password - over HTTP proxy

Dan Fandrich added the --disable-cookies option to configure to build

Richard Atterer fixed libcurl's way of dealing with the EPSV
response. Previously, libcurl would re-resolve the host name with the new
port number and attempt to connect to that, while it should use the IP from
the control channel. This bug made it hard to EPSV from an FTP server with
multiple IP addresses!

credit where credit is due

Bug report #1078066: when a chunked transfer was pre-maturely closed exactly
at a chunk boundary it was not considered an error and thus went unnoticed.
Added test case 207 to verify.

made the intended one hour default timeout in the CONNECT loop actually work
