The URL parser got a little stricter as it now considers a ? to be a
host name divider so that the slightly sloppier URLs work too. The
problem that made me do this change was the reported problem with an URL
like: www.example.com?email=name@example.com This form of URL is not
really a legal URL (due to the missing slash after the host name) but is
widely accepted by all major browsers and libcurl also already accepted
it, it was just the '@' letter that triggered the problem now.
The side-effect of this change is that now libcurl no longer accepts the
? letter as part of user-name or password when given in the URL, which
it used to accept (and is tested in test 191). That letter is however
mentioned in RFC3986 to be required to be percent encoded since it is
used as a divider.

It was pointed out that the special case libcurl did for 416 was
incorrect and wrong. 416 is not really different to other errors so the
response body must be handled like for other errors/http responses.

This delays between write operations, hopefully making it easier
to spot problems where libcurl doesn't flush the socket properly
before waiting for the next response.
The date format in RFC822 allows that the seconds part of HH:MM:SS is
left out, but this function didn't allow it. This change also includes a
modified test case that makes sure that this now works.

Fixed some issues that caused xmllint failures, added features
and keywords, fixed some quotes and removed some <strip> sections
that unnecessarily limited test checking.
HTTP allows that a server sends trailing headers after all the chunks
have been sent WITHOUT signalling their presence in the first response
headers. The "Trailer:" header is only a SHOULD there and as we need to
handle the situation even without that header I made libcurl ignore
Trailer: completely.
Test case 1116 was added to verify this and to make sure we handle more
than one trailer header properly.

It was introduced in commit eeb2cb05 along with the -F type=
change. Also fixed a typo in the name of the magic filename=
parameter. Tweaked tests 39 and 173 to better test this path.
The -F option allows some custom parameters within the given string, and
those strings are separated with semicolons. You can for example specify
"name=daniel;type=text/plain" to set content-type for the
field. However, the use of semicolons like that made it not work fine if
you specified one within the content-type, like for:
"name=daniel;type=text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
... as the second one would be seen as a separator and "charset" is no
parameter curl knows anything about so it was just silently discarded.
The new logic now checks if the semicolon and following keyword looks
like a parameter it knows about and if it isn't it is assumed to be
meant to be used within the content-type string itself.
I modified test case 186 to verify that this works as intended.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3048988
The 66 bytes checked are those 38 bytes with the chunked encoding
headers added: 8+8+10+35+5 = 66
The three-letter words become 8 bytes on the wire because they are sent
like: "3\r\none\r\n"
... and there's the trailing 5 bytes write after the four lines since
the final chunk is sent (which is "0\r\n\r\n").
In some situations, libtool will change directories and perform
a link step before executing the libtest test app. Since
LD_PRELOAD is in effect for this entire process, the path to the
binary must be absolute so it will be valid no matter in which
directory the app is running.
When the progress callback is called during the TCP connection, an error
return would accidentally not abort the operation as intended but would
instead be counted as a failure to connect to that particular IP and
libcurl would just continue to try the next. I made singleipconnect()
and trynextip() return CURLcode properly.
Added bonus: it corrected the error code for bad --interface usages,
like tested in test 1084 and test 1085.

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.
A shared library tests/libtest/.libs/lihostname.so is preloaded in NTLM
test-cases to override the system implementation of gethostname(). It
makes it possible to test the NTLM authentication for exact match, and
this way test the implementation of MD4 and DES.
If LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, a debug build willl also workk as debug
builds are now made to prefer a specific environment variable and will
then return that content as host name instead of the actual one.
Kamil wrote the bulk of this, Daniel Stenberg polished it.
Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi
interface, there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store
connect time correctly as it used to (and is documented to) do.
Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up
test case 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show
itself using the local test suite though.
The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as
it adds yet another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the
TIMER_CONNECT time. That situation is subject for some closer
inspection in the future.
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.
- SMTP falls back to RFC821 HELO when EHLO fails (and SSL is not required).
- Use of true local host name (i.e.: via gethostname()) when available, as default argument to SMTP HELO/EHLO.
- Test case 804 for HELO fallback.

get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient
starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that
properly on its own.
in the same RCPT TO line, when they should be sent in separate single
commands. I updated test case 802 to verify this.
- I also fixed a bad use of my_setopt_str() of CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT in the curl
tool which made it try to output it as string for the --libcurl feature
which could lead to crashes.
HTTP Cookie: header _needs_ to be sorted on the path length in the cases
where two cookies using the same name are set more than once using
(overlapping) paths. Realizing this, identically named cookies must be
sorted correctly. But detecting only identically named cookies and take care
of them individually is harder than just to blindly and unconditionally sort
all cookies based on their path lengths. All major browsers also already do
this, so this makes our behavior one step closer to them in the cookie area.
Test case 8 was the only one that broke due to this change and I updated it
accordingly.

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.

was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order
mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up

test case 1106 that verifies this functionality.

out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
