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.
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.

are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.
To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
cases got really painful and boring.
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-02/0154.html) by adding the NTLM hash
function in addition to the LM one and making some other adjustments in the
order the different parts of the data block are sent in the Type-2 reply.
Inspiration for this work was taken from the Firefox NTLM implementation.
I edited the existing 21(!) NTLM test cases to run fine with these news. Due
to the fact that we now properly include the host name in the Type-2 message
the test cases now only compare parts of that chunk.
