An example application source code sending SMTP mail with the multi
interface. It is based on the code Alona Rossen provided, which in turn
is based on existing example/test code, and I converted it even more
into a decent example with a fair multi API use, put the info required
to edit at the top and I added some comments.
I've developed a script I call symbol-scan.pl that scans the curl.h and
multi.h header files and compare the symbols it finds in there with the
symbols symbols-in-versions documents and outputs a report on the
differences. Using this I've dug through the history to fill up
symbols-in-versions with all the symbols my script found mismatches for.
I will commit symbol-scan.pl separatly and think of a way to put it to
use in the build/tests so that we from now on will get this in-sync
check automatically.
The invocation of autoconf's AC_PATH_PROG( ) is not quite right for
finding curl-config. This fix corrects the negative case (where
curl-config is not found).
The macro provides a --with-libcurl option that expects a PREFIX to be
specified and not actually a "directory" in which libcurl will be found.
This now spells that out more clearly.

all multi and hiper examples:
* don't loop curl_multi_perform calls, that was <7.20.0 style, currently
the exported multi functions will not return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM
all hiper examples:
* renamed check_run_count to check_multi_info
* don't compare current running handle count with previous value, this
was the wrong way to check for finished requests, simply call
curl_multi_info_read
* it's also safe to call curl_multi_remove_handle inside the
curl_multi_info_read loop.
ghiper.c:
* replaced curl_multi_socket (that function is marked as obsolete) calls
with curl_multi_socket_action calls (as in hiperfifo.c and
evhiperfifo.c)
ghiper.c and evhiperfifo.c:
* be smart as hiperfifo.c, don't do uncessary curl_multi_* calls in
new_conn and main
curl_easy_duphandle() was not properly duping the ares channel. The
ares_dup() function was introduced in c-ares 1.6.0 so by starting to use
this function we also raise the bar and require c-ares >= 1.6.0
(released Dec 9, 2008) for such builds.

1. Remove the comment warning that it's "not been verified to work". It
works with no problems in my testing.
2. Remove 2 unnecessary includes.
3. Remove the myrealloc(). Initialize chunk.memory with malloc() instead
of NULL. The comments for these two parts contradicted each other.
4. Handle out of memory from realloc() instead of continuing.
5. Print a brief status message at the end.
The numerical value passed to CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM for FTP uploads is
interpreted and used as position where to resume the _reading_ of the
local file and it will "blindly" append that data on the remote
file. This was certainly not clear in the docs previously.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3048174
Curl_expire() is now expanded to hold a list of timeouts for each easy
handle. Only the closest in time will be the one used as the primary
timeout for the handle and will be used for the splay tree (which sorts
and lists all handles within the multi handle).
When the main timeout has triggered/expired, the next timeout in time
that is kept in the list will be moved to the main timeout position and
used as the key to splay with. This way, all timeouts that are set with
Curl_expire() internally will end up as a proper timeout. Previously any
Curl_expire() that set a _later_ timeout than what was already set was
just silently ignored and thus missed.
Setting Curl_expire() with timeout 0 (zero) will cancel all previously
added timeouts.
Corrects known bug #62.
In some places where the name 'stream' has been used for naming a
function argument that is in fact settable with a setopt() option we now
call that argument 'userdata' to make it more obvious that it is in fact
possible to set by the application.

The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits large (and thus so is curl_socket_t
on that platform), and long is only 32 bits. It makes it impossible for
curl_easy_getinfo() to return a socket properly with the
CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET option as for all other operating systems.
curl_multi_timeout(3) is simply the wrong function to use
if you're using the multi_socket API and this document now
states this pretty clearly to help guiding users.
- SMTP falls back to RFC821 HELO when EHLO fails (and SSL is not required).
- Use of true local host name (i.e.: via gethostname()) when available, as default argument to SMTP HELO/EHLO.
- Test case 804 for HELO fallback.
properly in angle brackets. Recipients provided with CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT now
get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient
starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that
properly on its own.
simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to
control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old
option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones
(listed and documented).
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the
4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_.
Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a
4xx response.

instead of being repeated several times. This also include Authenticate: and
Proxy-Authenticate: headers and while this hardly every happens in real life
it will confuse libcurl which does not properly support it for all headers -
like those Authenticate headers.
sends the 220 response or otherwise is dead slow, libcurl will not
acknowledge the connection timeout during that phase but only the "real"
timeout - which may surprise users as it is probably considered to be the
connect phase to most people. Brought up (and is being misunderstood) in:

read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to
the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at
times.

curl will do its best to use what you pass to it as a URL. It is not trying to
validate it as a syntactically correct URL by any means but is instead
VERY liberal with what it accepts.
something beyond ascii but currently libcurl will only pass in the verbatim
string the app provides. There are several browsers that already do this
encoding. The key seems to be the updated draft to RFC2231:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-reschke-rfc2231-in-http-02
With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature,
CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows:
CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug)
DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)
not in the mood enough to fight this now.
65. When doing FTP over a socks proxy or CONNECT through HTTP proxy and the
multi interface is used, libcurl will fail if the (passive) TCP connection
for the data transfer isn't more or less instant as the code does not
properly wait for the connect to be confirmed. See test case 564 for a first
shot at a test case.
