Made CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 acts as described in the documentation:
fail to connect if there is no Common Name field found in the remote cert.
We should deprecate the support for this set to 1 anyway soon, since the
feature is pointless and most likely never really used by anyone.

Shmulik Regev:
The tiny patch below fixes a bug (that I introduced :) which happens
when negotiating authentication with a proxy (probably with web
servers as well) that uses chunked transfer encoding for the 407 error
pages. In this case the ''ignorebody'' flag was ignored (no pun
intended).

Adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth or
chunked encoding (that also lacks "Connection: close"). It now simply
assumes that the connection WILL be closed to signal the end, as that is how
RFC2616 section 4.4 point #5 says we should behave.

subsequent requests.

Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1739100
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1739100) that mentioned that libcurl
could not actually list the contents of the root directory of a given FTP
server if the login directory isn't root. I fixed the problem and added three
test cases (one is disabled for now since I identified KNOWN_BUGS #44, we
cannot use --ftp-method nocwd and list ftp directories).

When transferring 500 downloads in parallel with a c-ares enabled build only
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.
