Changelog
Daniel (24 June 2004)
- Major reorganization in the host resolve code (again). This time, I've
modified the code to now always use a linked list of Curl_addrinfo structs
to return resolved info in, no matter what resolver method or support that
is available on the platform. It makes it a lot easier to write code that
uses or depends on resolved data.
Internally, this means amongst other things that we can stop doing the weird
"increase buffer size until it works" trick when resolving hosts on
ipv4-only with gethostbyname_r(), we support socks even on libcurls built
with ipv6 enabled (but only to socks servers that resolve to an ipv4
address) and we no longer deep-copy or relocate hostent structs (we create
Curl_addrinfo chains instead).
The new "hostent to Curl_addrinfo" converter function is named Curl_he2ai()
and is slightly naive and simple, yet I believe it is functional enough to
work for libcurl.

- David Cohen pointed out that RFC2109 says clients should allow cookies to
contain least 4096 bytes while libcurl only allowed 2047. I raised the limit
