- Robert A. Monat and Shmulik Regev helped out to fix the new */Makefile.vc8
makefiles that are included in the source release archives, generated from
the Makefile.vc6 files by the maketgz script. I also modified the root
Makefile to have a VC variable that defaults to vc6 but can be overridden to
allow it to be used for vc8 as well. Like this:

nmake VC=vc8 vc

- Hang Kin Lau found and fixed: When I use libcurl to connect to an https
server through a proxy and have the remote https server port set using the
CURLOPT_PORT option, protocol gets reset to http from https after the first
request.

User defined URL was modified internally by libcurl and subsequent reuse of
the easy handle may lead to connection using a different protocol (if not
originally http).

I found that libcurl hardcoded the protocol to "http" when it tries to
regenerate the URL if CURLOPT_PORT is set. I tried to fix the problem as
follows and it's working fine so far

HTTP Digest header parsing fix

Two new mirrors, but the total amount of mirrors still don't go up very much
due to the frequent dying of mirrors...

- Adam D. Moss made the HTTP CONNECT procedure less blocking when used from
the multi interface. Note that it still does a part of the connection in a
blocking manner.

- Ravi Pratap provided work on libcurl making pipelining more robust and
fixing some bugs:

- Ravi Pratap provided work on libcurl making pipelining more robust and
fixing some bugs:
o Don't mix GET and POST requests in a pipeline
o Fix the order in which requests are dispatched from the pipeline
o Fixed several curl bugs with pipelining when the server is returning
chunked encoding:
* Added states to chunked parsing for final CRLF
* Rewind buffer after parsing chunk with data remaining
* Moved chunked header initializing to a spot just before receiving
headers

New FTP CCC functionality - adds passive and active mode to accomodate for different server behaviour

Mention curl-config dependencies fix.

Ian Turner fixed the libcurl.m4 macro's support for --with-libcurl.
AC_PATH_PROG was not used properly.

- Shmulik Regev found a memory leak in re-used HTTPS connections, at least
when the multi interface was used.

- Robson Braga Araujo made passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS (both 4 and
5).

- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem with
the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in anot

- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem with
the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.

The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:
the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was
marked for closure.

- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Michal Marek reported problems with resetting
CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP.

ftp@example.com is now the new anonymous FTP password. I opted for 'ftp' on
the left side of @ to make it short(er).

Rob Crittenden added support for NSS (Network Security Service) for the
SSL/TLS layer. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/

- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent
to the debug callback.

- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFE

- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent
to the debug callback.

- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.

Jeff Pohlmeyer for his bug fix today, but too specific to get desrcibed
as a bugfix here ;-)

and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution ins

- Michael Wallner provided a patch that adds support for CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.

Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.

the problem. The code now tries harder to use httproxy and proxy where
apppropriate, as not all proxies are HTTP...

the user-agent fix

- Michael Wallner reported that when doing a CONNECT with a custom User-Agent
header, you got _two_ User-Agent headers in the CONNECT request...! Added
test case 287 to verify the fix.

curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly
