1- Two new error codes are introduced.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED to be set whenever ACCEPTing fails because of
FTP server connected.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT to be set whenever ACCEPTing timeouts.
Neither of these errors are considered fatal and control connection
remains OK because it could just be a firewall blocking server to
connect to the client.
2- One new setopt option was introduced.
CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS
It sets the maximum amount of time FTP client is going to wait for a
server to connect. Internal default accept timeout is 60 seconds.
Parameters were underquoted, resulting in
warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body

Do not try to resolve interfaces names via DNS by recognizing interface
names in a few ways. If the interface option argument has a prefix of
"if!" then treat the argument as only an interface. Similarly, if the
interface argument is the name of an interface (even if it does not have
an IP address assigned), treat it as an interface name. Finally, if the
interface argument is prefixed by "host!" treat it as a hostname that
must be resolved by /etc/hosts or DNS.
These changes allow a client using the multi interfaces to avoid
blocking on name resolution if the interface loses its IP address or
disappears.
If the option is set to 0, the default timeout will be used - which in
modern libcurl versions equals 300 seconds (== 5 minutes).

When the new socket is created for an active connection, it is now done
using the open socket callback.
Test case 596 was modified to run fine, although it hides the fact that
the close callback is still called too many times, as it also gets
called for closing sockets that were created with accept().
Experience has shown that the symbols-in-versions file is very useful to
applications that want to build with a wide range of libcurl versions.
It is however easy to get it wrong and the source gets a bit messy with
all the fixed numerical comparisions.
The point of this script is to provide an easy-to-use macro for libcurl-
using applications to do preprocessor checks for specific libcurl
defines, and yet make the code clearly show what the macro is used for.
Added pop3 username and password example as well as an explanation of
how path part of the URL is used under pop3.
Additionally have corrected a couple of typos.
Don't even declare the struct members for disabled features
Introducing the CURLSHE_NOT_BUILT_IN return code for the share interface
when trying to set a sharing option that has been disabled (or not
enabled) in the library.
Slight rewording of the CURLOPT_URL SMTP sub-section.
Corrected the incorrect use of hyphens on the three uses of
"zero-terminated" with "zero terminated" to match the rest of the
document.
Corrected the use of an out of place hyphen in CURLOPT_NOPROXY section.
Allow (*curl_write_callback) write callbacks to return
CURL_WRITEFUNC_OUT_OF_MEMORY to properly indicate libcurl of OOM conditions
inside the callback itself.
If a socket is larger than FD_SETSIZE, avoid using FD_SET() on the
platforms where this is possible.

Using 'socks5h' as proxy protocol will make it a
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME proxy which is SOCKS5 and asking the proxy to
resolve host names. I found no "standard" protocol name for this.
Clarify that the '-', '.', '_' or '~' letters are also not escaped since
they shouldn't according to RFC3986 section 2.3.
This is how this function has behaved since sep 2010, commit
5df13c3173.
Added CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING as the option to set to request Transfer
Encoding in HTTP requests (if built zlib enabled). I also renamed
CURLOPT_ENCODING to CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING (while keeping the old name
around) to reduce the confusion when we have to encoding options for
HTTP.
--tr-encoding is now the new command line option for curl to request
this, and thus I updated the test cases accordingly.
Stop the abuse of CURLE_FAILED_INIT as return code for things not being
init related by introducing two new return codes:
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN replaces return code 4 that has been obsoleted for
several years. It is used for returning error when something is
attempted to be used but the feature/option was not enabled or
explictitly disabled at build-time. Getting this error mostly means that
libcurl needs to be rebuilt.
CURLE_FAILED_INIT is now saved and used strictly for init
failures. Getting this problem means something went seriously wrong,
like a resource shortage or similar.
CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION is the option formerly known as
CURLE_UNKNOWN_TELNET_OPTION (and the old name is still present,
separately defined to be removed in a very distant future). This error
code is meant to be used to return when an option is given to libcurl
that isn't known. This problem would mostly indicate a problem in the
program that uses libcurl.
The read callback must return the exact requested amount of data when it
is used for doing TFTP uploads. This is due to how it deals with data
internally. This could/should be fixed but for now we document the
existing behavior.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-03/0319.html
When NSS-powered libcurl connected to a SSL server with
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to zero, NSS remembered that the peer
certificate was accepted by libcurl and did not ask the second time when
connecting to the same server with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to one.
This patch turns off the SSL session cache for the particular SSL socket
if peer verification is disabled. In order to avoid any performance
impact, the peer verification is completely skipped in that case, which
makes it even faster than before.

On second thought, I think CURLE_TLSAUTH_FAILED should be eliminated. It
was only being raised when an internal error occurred while allocating
or setting the GnuTLS SRP client credentials struct. For TLS
authentication failures, the general CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR seems
appropriate; its error string already includes "passwords" as a possible
cause. Having a separate TLS auth error code might also cause people to
think that a TLS auth failure means the wrong username or password was
entered, when it could also be a sign of a man-in-the-middle attack.
... and update the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages such that
they do not suggest to use an OpenSSL utility if curl is not built
against OpenSSL.

This is a meta symbol. OR this value together with a single specific
auth value to force libcurl to probe for un-restricted auth and if not,
only that single auth algorithm is acceptable.
For example you can use CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_ONLY to make libcurl
first probe for what method to use, but yet only consider Digest to be
acceptable.
Using _only_ CURLAUTH_DIGEST without the CURLAUTH_ONLY field, will make
libcurl explicitly use Digest right away and not do any probing.
I've developed a script I call symbol-scan.pl that scans the curl.h and
multi.h header files and compare the symbols it finds in there with the
symbols symbols-in-versions documents and outputs a report on the
differences. Using this I've dug through the history to fill up
symbols-in-versions with all the symbols my script found mismatches for.
I will commit symbol-scan.pl separatly and think of a way to put it to
use in the build/tests so that we from now on will get this in-sync
check automatically.
The invocation of autoconf's AC_PATH_PROG( ) is not quite right for
finding curl-config. This fix corrects the negative case (where
curl-config is not found).
The macro provides a --with-libcurl option that expects a PREFIX to be
specified and not actually a "directory" in which libcurl will be found.
This now spells that out more clearly.
