called bind() with a too big argument in the 3rd parameter and at least
Tru64, AIX and IRIX seem to be very picky about it.

David McCreedy added CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH to export the FTP entry path

Xavier Bouchoux made the SSL connection non-blocking for the multi interface
(when using OpenSSL).

Tor Arntsen fixed the AIX Toolbox RPM spec

David McCreedy fixed libcurl to no longer ignore AUTH failures and now it
reacts properly according to the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL setting.

mention today's fixes

start working towards 7.15.4

Markus Koetter filed debian bug report #355715 which identified a problem
with the multi interface and multi-part formposts. The fix from February
22nd could make the Curl_done() function get called twice on the same
connection and it was not designed for that and thus tried to call free() on
an already freed memory area!

Peter Heuchert made sure the CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL setting for CURLOPT_FTP_SSL
is used properly.

Lots of users on Windows have reported getting the "SSL: couldn't set
callback" error message so I've now made the setting of that callback not be
as critical as before. The function is only

Lots of users on Windows have reported getting the "SSL: couldn't set
callback" error message so I've now made the setting of that callback not be
as critical as before. The function is only used for additional loggging/
trace anyway so a failure just means slightly less data. It should still be
able to proceed and connect fine to the server.

build fix for Interix

Prevent uploading to a URL that has no file name part.

mention Dan F's out-of-file handles fix from the other day

check for and use getprotobyname

start over on what might become 7.15.3

Lots of work and analysis by "xbx___" in bug #1431750
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1431750) helped me identify and fix two
different but related bugs:

1) Removing an easy handle from a multi handle before the transfer is done
could leave a connection in the connection cache for that handle that is
in a state that isn't suitable for re-use. A subsequent re-use could then
read from a NULL pointer and segfault.

2) When an easy handle was removed from the multi handle, there could be an
outstanding c-ares DNS name resolve request. When the response arrived,
it caused havoc since the connection struct it "belonged" to could've
been freed already.

Now Curl_done() is called when an easy handle is removed from a multi handle
pre-maturely (that is, before the transfer was complteted). Curl_done() also
makes sure to cancel all (if any) outstanding c-ares requests.

Shmulik Regev provided a fix for the DNS cache when using short life times,
as previously it could be holding on to old cached entries longer than
requested.

Karl M added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options that
an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract

all after the connect is done.

Philippe Vaucher provided a brilliant piece of test code that show a problem
with re-used FTP connections. If the second request on the same connection was
set not to fetch a "body", libcurl could get confused and consider it an
attempt to use a dead connection and would go acting mighty strange.
