1. When the downloaded data file from Mozilla is current, but the output
bundle does not exist: continue processing to create the bundle. The
goal is to have the output file - not just download the latest input.
2. added -f option to force re-processing the file. Useful for
debugging/testing the process.
3. added support for output to '-' (stdout), allowing the output to be
piped.
4. All progress and error messages go to STDERR rather than STDOUT (3)
5. The script opened and closed the output file many times
unnecessarily. It now opens it once, does the output and closes it.
6. Backup of the input files happens after successful processing, not
before.
7. The output is written to a temporary file, and renamed to the
requested name after backup - this greatly reduces the window where the
file can be seen partially written.
8. all die calls have a \n at the end to suppress perl's traceback - the
traceback isn't useful to end users.
Patch: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-01/0045.html
lib/objnames.inc provides definition of curl_10char_object_name() shell
function. The intended purpose of this function is to transliterate a
(*.c) source file name that may be longer than 10 characters, or not,
into a string with at most 10 characters which may be used as an OS/400
object name.
Test case 1221 does unit testng of this function and also verifies
that it is possible to generate distinct short object names for all
curl and libcurl *.c source file names.
lib/objnames-test.sh is the shell script used for test case 1221.
tests/runtests.pl modified to accept shell script test cases.
More details inside lib/objnames.inc and lib/objnames-test.sh
* Changing the order of the state machine to represent the order in
which commands are sent to the server.
* Reworking the imap_endofresp() function as the FETCH response doesn't
include the command id and shouldn't be part of the length comparison
that takes into account the id string.
Fixed a problem with the state machine when attempting to log in with
invalid credentials. The server would report login failure but libcurl
would not read the response due to inappropriate IMAP_STOP states being
set after the login was sent.
Applied some of the comment and layout changes that had already been
applied to the pop3 and smtp code over the last 6 to 9 months.
This is in preparation of adding SASL based authentication.
... on Snow Leopard and Lion
Snow Leopard introduced the SSLSetSessionOption() function, but it
doesn't disable peer verification as expected on Snow Leopard or
Lion (it works as expected in Mountain Lion). So we now use sysctl()
to detect whether or not the user is using Snow Leopard or Lion,
and if that's the case, then we now use the deprecated
SSLSetEnableCertVerify() function instead to disable peer verification.
... it also clobbered the 'result' return value so that it wouldn't
return the error back to the parent function properly, which broke test
809 when run with 'multi-always'.
When prefixing a path with /~/ it is supposed to be used relative to the
user's home directory but it didn't work. Now we cut off the entire
three byte sequenct "/~/" which seems to be how OpenSSH does it.

Issue: When building a 32bit target with large file support HP-UX
<sys/socket.h> header file may simultaneously provide two different
sets of declarations for sendfile and sendpath functions, one with
static and another with external linkage. Given that we do not use
mentioned functions we really don't care which linkage is the
appropriate one, but on the other hand, the double declaration emmits
warnings when using the HP-UX compiler and errors when using modern
gcc versions resulting in fatal compilation errors.
Mentioned issue is now fixed as long as we don't use sendfile nor
sendpath functions.
A bundle is a list of all persistent connections to the same host.
The connection cache consists of a hash of bundles, with the
hostname as the key.
The benefits may not be obvious, but they are two:
1) Faster search for connections to reuse, since the hash
lookup only finds connections to the host in question.
2) It lays out the groundworks for an upcoming patch,
which will introduce multiple HTTP pipelines.
This patch also removes the awkward list of "closure handles",
which were needed to send QUIT commands to the FTP server
when closing a connection.
Now we allocate a separate closure handle and use that
one to close all connections.
This has been tested in a live system for a few weeks, and of
course passes the test suite.
BLANK_AT_MAKETIME may be used in our Makefile.am files to blank
LIBS variable used in generated makefile at makefile processing
time. Doing this functionally prevents LIBS from being used for
all link targets in given makefile.
