All C and H files now (should) feature the proper project curl source
code header, which includes basic info, a copyright statement and some
basic disclaimers.
This enables people to specify a path to the netrc file to use.
The new option override --netrc if both are present. However it
does follow --netrc-optional if specified.
Since the feature requires support for TCP_KEEPIDLE and TCP_KEEPINTVL to
function as documented, it now warns if that support is missing when the
option is used.
... to not make the connection between the tool and the libcurl used
tighter than necessary, the tlsauth options are now always present but
if the used libcurl doesn't have TLSAUTH support it will return failure.
Also, replaced strncmp() with strequal to get case insensitive matching.
Instead of reopening the downloaded file, fsetxattr uses the (already
open) file descriptor to attach extended attributes. This makes the
procedure more robust against errors caused by moved or deleted files.
CURLOPT_RESOLVE is a new option that sends along a curl_slist with
name:port:address sets that will populate the DNS cache with entries so
that request can be "fooled" to use another host than what otherwise
would've been used. Previously we've encouraged the use of Host: for
that when dealing with HTTP, but this new feature has the added bonus
that it allows the name from the URL to be used for TLS SNI and server
certificate name checks as well.
This is a first change. Surely more will follow to make it decent.
setxattr is a glibc call to set extended attributes, so configure now
checks for it and the code is adapted to only build when the
functionality is present.
It is often convinient to track back the source of a once downloaded
file; this patch makes curl store the source URL and other metadata
alongside the retrieved file by using the extended attributes (if
supported by the file system and enabled by --xattr).
These haven't worked in at least 8 years due to missing source
files, and most active RiscOS developers these days apparently
cross-compile anyway.

Some options, such as the automatic decompression and some SSL related
ones now will bail out if the underlying libcurl doesn't have support
for the particular feature needed.
If the filename contains a backslash, only use filename portion. The
idea is that even systems that don't handle backslashes as path
separators probably want that path removed for convenience.
This flaw is considered a security problem, see the curl security
vulnerability http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20101013.html
Having an open brace without a closing brace caused a segfault.
Having a closing brace too many caused a silent error to occur, which
caused curl to bail out and return an error code but no error message
was shown. It does now!
All error message outputs no longer wrongly get _two_ newlines written
after the error message.
