Okay. I've tested the following with MSVC and MingW. htttput.c now
simply uses stat():
CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1,
CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2 enum values are added to force exact TLS version
(CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 means TLS 1.x).
axTLS:
axTLS only supports TLS 1.0 and 1.1 but it cannot be set that only one
of these should be used, so we don't allow the new enum values.
darwinssl:
Added support for the new enum values.
SChannel:
Added support for the new enum values.
CyaSSL:
Added support for the new enum values.
Bug: The original CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 value enables only TLS 1.0 (it
did the same before this commit), because CyaSSL cannot be configured to
use TLS 1.0-1.2.
GSKit:
GSKit doesn't seem to support TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, so we do not allow
those values.
Bugfix: There was a typo that caused wrong SSL versions to be passed to
GSKit.
NSS:
TLS minor version cannot be set, so we don't allow the new enum values.
QsoSSL:
TLS minor version cannot be set, so we don't allow the new enum values.
OpenSSL:
Added support for the new enum values.
Bugfix: The original CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 value enabled only TLS 1.0,
now it enables 1.0-1.2.
Command-line tool:
Added command line options for the new values.
The option '--bearer' might be slightly ambiguous in name. It doesn't
create any conflict that I am aware of at the moment, however, OAUTH v2
is not the only authentication mechanism which uses "bearer" tokens.

Added missing information, from curl 7.31.0, regarding the use of the
optional login options that may be specified as part of --user.
For example:
--user 'user:password;auth=NTLM' in IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocols.
Added the ability to use an XOAUTH2 bearer token [RFC6750] with POP3 for
authentication using RFC6749 "OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework".
The bearer token is expected to be valid for the user specified in
conn->user. If CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER is defined and the connection has
an advertised auth mechanism of "XOAUTH2", the user and access token are
formatted as a base64 encoded string and sent to the server as
"AUTH XOAUTH2 <bearer token>".
Doing curl_multi_add_handle() on an easy handle that is already added to
a multi handle now returns this error code. It previously returned
CURLM_BAD_EASY_HANDLE for this condition.
Since the mk-ca-bundle tool itself isn't installed with make install,
there's no point in installing its documentation.

This is the first version of this new document, detailing the seven
perhaps most important internal structs in libcurl source code:
1.1 SessionHandle
1.2 connectdata
1.3 Curl_multi
1.4 Curl_handler
1.5 conncache
1.6 Curl_share
1.7 CookieInfo
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION is now the preferred progress callback function
and CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION is considered deprecated.
This new callback uses pure 'curl_off_t' arguments to pass on full
resolution sizes. It otherwise retains the same characteristics: the
same call rate, the same meanings for the arguments and the return code
is used the same way.
The progressfunc.c example is updated to show how to use the new
callback for newer libcurls while supporting the older one if built with
an older libcurl or even built with a newer libcurl while running with
an older.
Implement wrappers around strtod to convert the user argument to a
double with sane error checking. Use this to allow --max-time and
--connect-timeout to accept decimal values instead of strictly integers.
The manpage is updated to make mention of this feature and,
additionally, forewarn that the actual timeout of the operation can
vary in its precision (particularly as the value increases in its
decimal precision).
Also added a (correctly-escaped) backslash to the autoexec.bat
example file and a new Windows character device name with
a colon as examples of other characters that are special
and potentially dangerous (this reverts and reworks commit
7d8d2a54).
If the multi handle's pending timeout is less than what is passed into
this function, it will now opt to use the shorter time anyway since it
is a very good hint that the handle wants to process something in a
shorter time than what otherwise would happen.
curl_multi_wait.3 was updated accordingly to clarify
This is the reason for bug #1224

Users using the Secure Transport (darwinssl) back-end can now use a
certificate and private key to authenticate with a site using TLS. Because
Apple's security system is based around the keychain and does not have any
non-public function to create a SecIdentityRef data structure from data
loaded outside of the Keychain, the certificate and private key have to be
loaded into the Keychain first (using the certtool command line tool or
the Security framework's C API) before we can find it and use it.
...when mentioning login options. Additional minor clarification of
"Windows builds" to be "Windows builds with SSPI"as a way of enabling
NTLM as Windows builds may be built with OpenSSL to enable NTLM or
without NTLM support altogether.
Moved SMTP, POP3, IMAP and New Protocol sections to be listed after the
other protocols (FTP, HTTP and TELNET) and SASL to be after SSL and
GnuTLS as these are all security related.
Additionally fixed numbering of the SSL and GnuTLS sections as they
weren't consecutive.
Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that
allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to
optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new
connections and the potential pipelining latency.
Two new options for limiting the number of connections:
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections
to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished, so we can reuse the connection.
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total.
When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or
closed if the pending handle can't reuse it.
Several new options for pipelining:
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a
pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection
will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it.
If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is
ready (either free or a pipe got shorter).
CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content
length that is larger than this.
CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow
pipelining.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow
pipelining.
See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.
No more use exit(3) but instead tell libcurl that no byte has been
written to let it return a `CURLE_WRITE_ERROR`. In addition, check
curl easy handle return code.
Updated the POP3 sub-section to refer to message ID rather than mailbox.
Added an IMAP sub-section with example URLs depicting the specification
of mailbox, uid and section.
* Elaborates on default values of some curl_easy_setopt() options.
* Reminds the user to cast variadic arguments to curl_easy_setopt() to
'void *' where curl internally interprets them as such.
* Clarifies the working of the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION option for
curl_easy_setopt().
* Fixes typo 'forth' → 'fourth'.
* Elaborates on CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT.
* Adds some missing periods.
* Notes that the return value of curl_version() must not be passed to

* Adds several links to documentation of library functions which were
missing.
* Marks documentation of deprecated library functions "(deprecated)".
* Removes spurious .html suffixes.
Schannel and darwinssl use the certificates built into the
OS to do vert verification instead of bundles. darwinssl
is thread-safe. Corrected typos in the NSS docs.
VC6 is _very_ old and we provide working makefiles even for that
compiler. Users who build with the IDE never use that method and project
file anyway and it was just lingering in the root dir.
