- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send
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.

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 a http server.

- 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.

properly acknowledging the timeout values, like if you pulled the network
plug in the midst of it.

- Brock Noland reported that curl behaved differently depending on which order
you used -i and -I.

- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a case where malloc() was called but
was not checked for a NULL return, in the Negotiate code.

- Fix the MIT / Heimdal check for good:
Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are

Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are

Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if
GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should
avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.

application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note
that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the

554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
