By reading the ->head pointer and using that instead of the ->size
number to figure out if there's a list remaining we avoid the (false
positive) clang-analyzer warning that we might dereference of a null
pointer.
I suspect this is a regression introduced in commit 207cf150, included
since 7.24.0.
Avoid showing '(nil)' as hostname in verbose output by making sure the
hostname fixup function is called early enough to set the pointers that
are used for this. The name data is set again for each request even for
re-used connections to handle multiple hostnames over the same
connection (like with proxy) or that the casing etc of the host name is
changed between requests (which has proven to be important at least once
in the past).
Test1011 was modified to use a redirect with a re-used a connection
since it then showed the bug and now lo longer does. There's currently
no easy way to have the test suite detect 'nil' texts in verbose ouputs
so no tests will detect if this problem gets reintroduced.

We found a problem with ftp transfer using libcurl (7.23 and 7.25)
inside an application which is receiving unix signals (SIGUSR1,
SIGUSR2...) almost continuously. (Linux 2.4, PowerPC, HAVE_POLL_FINE
defined).
Curl_socket_check() uses poll() to wait for the socket, and retries it
when a signal is received (EINTR). However, if a signal is received and
it also happens that the timeout has been reached, Curl_socket_check()
returns -1 instead of 0 (indicating an error instead of a timeout).
In our case, the result is an aborted connection even before the ftp
banner is received from the server, and a return value of
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY from curl_easy_perform() (Curl_pp_multi_statemach(),
in pingpong.c, actually returns OOM if Curl_socket_check() fails :-)
Funny to debug on a system on which OOM is a possible cause).

Due to WSAPoll bugs, libcurl does not work as intended. When the cURL
library is used to setup a connection to an incorrect port, normally the
result is CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT, /* 7 */, but due to the bug in WSAPoll,
the result now is CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT, /* 28 - the timeout time was
reached */.
On August 1, Jan Koen Annot opened a case for this to Microsoft Premier
Online (https://premier.microsoft.com/). The support engineer handling
the case wrote that the case description is quite clear. He will try to
reproduce the issue and then proceed with troubleshooting it.

When figuring out if the data stream needs to be rewound when the
request is to be resent, we must not access the HTTP struct unless the
protocol used is indeed HTTP...

Fix a bug where closed sockets (fd -1) were left in the all_sockets
list, because of missing parens in a pointer arithmetic expression
Reenable the tests that were locking up due to this bug.
SO_KEEPALIVE flag to all sockets. Note that several loops which used to continue on a return value
of 0 (theoretical since 0 would never be returned without O_NONBLOCK) now break on 0 so that they
won't continue reading until after poll is called again.
for non-blocking sockets: now -1 means error or connection finished, 1 means data was read, and 0
means there is no data available now so need to wait for poll (new return value)
half-finished.
Note the the req struct used to be re-initialized AFTER reading pipeline data, so now that we
initialize it from the caller we must be careful not to overwrite the pipeline data.
Also we now need to handle the case where the buffer is already full when get_request is called -
previously this never happened as it was always called with an empty buffer and looped until done.
Now get_request is called in a loop, so the next step is to run the loop on a socket only when poll
signals it is readable.
Removed APOP and SASL authentication from the POP3 section and metalink
support from the client section as these features were implemented in
this release.
Moved adding gssapi to SASL into it's own section rather than repeat it
for each protocol.
This needs another look from the configure experts. I tested that
it works so far with MinGW64 cross-compiler; libcurl builds and
links fine, but curl not yet ...
