Kotlyarov, we now know that cygwin's poll returns only POLLHUP on remote
connection closure so we check for that case (too) and re-enable poll for
cygwin builds.
version of libcurl with different Windows versions. Current version of
libcurl imports SSPI functions from secur32.dll. However, under Windows NT
4.0 these functions are located in security.dll, under Windows 9x - in
secur32.dll and Windows 2000 and XP contains both these DLLs (security.dll
just forwards calls to secur32.dll).
Dmitry's patch loads proper library dynamically depending on Windows
version. Function InitSecurityInterface() is used to obtain pointers to all
of SSPI function in one structure.

The LDAP code in libcurl can't handle LDAP servers of LDAPv3 nor binary
attributes in LDAP objects. So, I made a quick patch to address these
problems.
The solution is simple: if we connect to an LDAP server, first try LDAPv3
(which is the preferred protocol as of now) and then fall back to LDAPv2.
In case of binary attributes, we first convert them to base64, just like the
openldap client does. It uses ldap_get_values_len() instead of
ldap_get_values() to be able to retrieve binary attributes correctly. I
defined the necessary LDAP macros in lib/ldap.c to be able to compile
libcurl without the presence of libldap
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1338648) which really is more of a
feature request, but anyway. It pointed out that --max-redirs did not allow
it to be set to 0, which then would return an error code on the first
Location: found. Based on Nis' patch, now libcurl supports CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS
set to 0, or -1 for infinity. Added test case 274 to verify.
#1334338 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1334338). When reading an SSL
stream from a server and the server requests a "rehandshake", the current
code simply returns this as an error. I have no good way to test this, but
I've added a crude attempt of dealing with this situation slightly better -
it makes a blocking handshake if this happens. Done like this because fixing
this the "proper" way (that would handshake asynchronously) will require
quite some work and I really need a good way to test this to do such a
change.
(wrongly) sends *two* WWW-Authenticate headers for Digest. While this should
never happen in a sane world, libcurl previously got into an infinite loop
when this occurred. Dave added test 273 to verify this.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1299181) that identified a silly problem
with Content-Range: headers with the 'bytes' keyword written in a different
case than all lowercase! It would cause a segfault!
