When doing HTTP requests Negotiate authenticated, the entire connnection
may become authenticated and not just the specific HTTP request which is
otherwise how HTTP works, as Negotiate can basically use NTLM under the
hood. curl was not adhering to this fact but would assume that such
requests would also be authenticated per request.
CVE-2015-3148
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20150422B.html
Reported-by: Isaac Boukris
If a URL is given with a zero-length host name, like in "http://:80" or
just ":80", `fix_hostname()` will index the host name pointer with a -1
offset (as it blindly assumes a non-zero length) and both read and
assign that address.
CVE-2015-3144
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20150422D.html
Reported-by: Hanno Böck
The internal libcurl function called sanitize_cookie_path() that cleans
up the path element as given to it from a remote site or when read from
a file, did not properly validate the input. If given a path that
consisted of a single double-quote, libcurl would index a newly
allocated memory area with index -1 and assign a zero to it, thus
destroying heap memory it wasn't supposed to.

At some point, Firefox has changed and generates different directory
names for the default profile that made this script fail to find them.

Add 'gdi32' and 'crypt32' Windows implibs to avoid failure
while building libcurl.dll using the mingw compiler.
The same logic is used in 'src/makefile.m32' when
building curl.exe.
The factor of 8 is a bytes-to-bits conversion factor, but pkt_size and
rate_bps are both in bytes. When using the rate limiting option, curl
waits 8 times too long, and then transfers very quickly until the
average rate reaches the limit. The average rate follows the limit over
time, but the actual traffic is bursty.

The key length in bits will always fit in an unsigned long so the
loss-of-data warning assigning the result of x64 pointer arithmetic to
an unsigned long is unnecessary.
Prior to this change libcurl could show multiple 'CyaSSL: Connecting to'
messages since cyassl_connect_step2 is called multiple times, typically.
The message is superfluous even once since libcurl already informs the
user elsewhere in code that it is connecting.
