- Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with
FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
re-used properly.

This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
necessary to get read in ftp_done().

- Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out
libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!

We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
"TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
data!

- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for
plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
(should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.

Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.

- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know if
the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time

in the cache would not be properly disconnected nor freed!

- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP
version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.

I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
--proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.

- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to
disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support". rfc4507bis was later turned
into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077

The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).

If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.

Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide
on the proper action.

Fixed a couple more locale-dependent toupper conversions, mainly for
clarity. This does fix one problem that causes ;type=i FTP URLs
to fail in the Turkish locale when CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE is
used (test case 561)

Added tests 561 and 1092 through 1094 to test various combinations
of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish
locale.
