curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
- because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
The curl tool got this option as --post301
Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

The documented way of using them would be to use timeval.c as a source code file.
The above described method works very well when statically linking libcurl and
apps, curl tool, but has several drawbacks when you build a true shared
libcurl (i.e. Name space clash at linkage stage as functions are defined more
than once. Windows makefiles are not capable of handling this system of
source-level sharing)
So...
Now curlutil.h and curlutil.c define and implement cutil_tvnow and cutil_tvdiff
which replace curlx_tvnow and curlx_tvdiff for the curl tool. Doing this we
avoid the above described problems.

- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.

written to the file that does the equivalent operation of what your command
line operation does!
