- "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is no longer any trouble for libcurl. I've

added two source files and I've run some test downloads that look fine.

- The current 57 test cases now pass OK. It would suggest that libcurl works

using the old-style with one connection per handle. The test suite doesn't

Ok, this is what I wanna do with Curl. Please tell me what you think, and

* Extend the test suite to include telnet and https. The telnet could just do

ftp or http operations (for which we have test servers) and the https would

probably work against/with some of the openssl tools.

* Add a command line option that allows the output file to get the same time
