Trimmed the newlines to be LF-only. Converted the source to plain C, to
use curl style indents, to compile warning-free with picky options and
fixed the minor fprintf() bug on line 245. Added to makefile.
Drop the pre-release part from this text as we don't use that in
practise since many years.
Update the phrasing to reflect our more strict interpretation:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-08/0064.html
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.
Follow style of GNU layout (cp, mv ...) where options are separated with
comma: -o, --option
Order item alphabetically (by length also): -o, -O, --option
Follow style of GNU layout by moving help related options to the end:
--help, -M, --version
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.
As it is already included by curlbuild.h if it exists on the platform it
was included here superfluously anyway.

Improved library search by check_function_exists_concat() macro:
it does not revert the list of libraries any more.
Improved OpenSSL library search: first find zlib, then search for
openssl libraries that may depend on zlib.
For Unix: openssl libraries can now be detected in nonstandard
locations. Supply CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH to CMake on command line.
Added installation capability (very basic one yet).
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
This is a new documentation for the source tree. This information has
been present since a long time at
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html but now it is put into a plain
text version too for wider distribution. The web version will be
automatically generated from this source document.
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.

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.
Stress that it is for client certificates and then mention that it also
works for all other SSL-based protocols apart from HTTPS and
FTPS. Namely POP3S, IMAPS and SMTPS for now.
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.
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.
"6.7 What are my obligations when using libcurl in my commercial apps?"
got the piece about what exactly "in all copies" mean to a user of the
code.
This interpretation is based on what other MIT-like licenses have made
more explicit.
Extended the intial HTTP protcol part and added a mention of --trace and
--trace-ascii.
Replaced most URLs in the text to use example.com instead of all the
made up strange names.
Shortened a bunch of lines.
... 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.
