It helps to prevent a hangup with some FTP servers in case idle session
timeout has exceeded. But it may be useful also for other protocols
that send any quit message on disconnect. Currently used by FTP, POP3,
IMAP and SMTP.
While changing Curl_sec_read_msg to accept an enum protection_level
instead of an int, I went ahead and fixed the usage of the associated
fields.
Some code was assuming that prot_clear == 0. Fixed those to use the
proper value. Added assertions prior to any code that would set the
protection level.
Some FTP servers (e.g. Pure-ftpd) end up hanging if we close the data
connection before transferring all the requested data. If we send ABOR
in that case, it prevents the server from hanging.

This fixes a memory leak related to the GSS-API code.
Added a krb5_init and krb5_end functions. Also removed a work-around
the lack of proper initialization of the GSS-API context.
Curl_sec_login was returning the opposite result that the code in ftp.c
was expecting. Simplified the return code (using a CURLcode) so to see
more clearly what is going on.
Test 563 is enabled now and verifies that the combo FTP type=A URL,
CURLOPT_PORT set and proxy work fine. As a bonus I managed to remove the
somewhat odd FTP check in parse_remote_port() and instead converted it
to a better and more generic 'slash_removed' struct field. Checking the
->protocol field isn't right since when an FTP:// URL is sent over a
HTTP proxy, the protocol is HTTP but the URL was handled by the FTP code
and thus slash_removed is set TRUE for this case.
The FTP implementation was missing a timestamp reset point, making the
waiting for responses after sending a post-transfer "QUOTE" command not
working as supposedly. This bug was introduced in 7.20.0
Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only
worked for the postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case
227 has been extended to verify.
the global timeout if set. Also, as was reported in the bug report #2956437
by Ryan Chan, the time stamp to use as basis for the per command timeout was
not set properly in the DONE phase for FTP (and not for SMTP) so I fixed
that just now. This was a regression compared to 7.19.7 due to the
conversion of FTP code over to the generic pingpong concepts.

again when downloading files over FTP using ASCII and it turns out that the
final size of the file is not the same as the initial size the server
reported. This is very common since servers don't take the newline
conversions into account.
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
