how to build with ares

ares awareness/usage/support added. If configure --enable-ares is used, we
build libcurl to use ares for asynch name resolves.

Add --enable-ares support, which will make us build curl with ares for
asynch name resolves. Still very experimental, beware!

clean up the dir tree hierarchy in *_done() to make persistant connection
FTP use the correct directories!

Reported in bug report #783116

added test 146 for a ftp persitency test, as reported on the list

persistant connection test

auth problems

cleaned up after David Byron's comment on the libcurl list, aug 5 2003

Jan Sundin reported a case where curl ignored a cookie that browsers don't,
which turned up to be due to the number of dots in the 'domain'. I've now
made curl follow the the original net

Jan Sundin reported a case where curl ignored a cookie that browsers don't,
which turned up to be due to the number of dots in the 'domain'. I've now
made curl follow the the original netscape cookie spec less strict on that
part.

serios info leakage!

When proxy authentication is used in a CONNECT request (as used for all SSL
connects and otherwise enforced tunnel-thru-proxy requests), the same
authentication header is also wrongly sent to the remote host.

The name and password can then be captured by an evil host and possibly get
used for malicious purposes.

updated as the second proxy-auth header was a proof of a serious info leak
bug!!

Joerg Mueller-Tolk fixed a minor mistake

recent action

David Byron's makefile fix to allow 7.10.6 to build fine using VC

add a check for 'ar' since the lack of it bit Jared Ingersoll
we might need to check for some other tools too that on Solaris are put
in those weird dirs...

removed silly target that only works when building from CVS

J�rg M�ller-Tolk updated this to build fine with 7.10.6

ftp proxy support would be nice

updated to match the recent ftp patch that makes it check for resumability

Daniel Noguerol made the ftp code output "Accept-Ranges: bytes" in similar
style like other faked HTTP headers when NOBODY and HEADER are used.
