Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and
using timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with
libcurl's use of GetTickCount() interally to figure out the
current time, while Igor's own application code used another
function call.
It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit
_before_ libcurl would consider the timeout to trigger, and that
could easily lead to timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems
GetTickCount() in general often has no better resolution than
16ms and switching to the alternative function
QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:

We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers
that already has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for
treatment. I'm confident that there are other implementations and
operating systems with similarly in accurate timer functions so
it makes sense to have applied generically and I don't believe we
sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these timeouts.
makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and in general being a
better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version is
detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used
instead of the old cruft

bool in curl internals is unsigned char and should not be used
to receive return value from functions returning int - this fails
when using IBM VisualAge and Tru64 compilers.
Eric Mertens posted bug #3003705: when we made TFTP use the
correct timeout option when sent to the server (fixed May 18th
2010) it became obvious that libcurl used invalid timeout values
(300 by default while the RFC allows nothing above 255). While of
course it is obvious that as TFTP has worked thus far without
being able to set timeout at all, just removing the setting
wouldn't make any difference in behavior. I decided to still keep
it (but fix the problem) as it now actually allows for easier
(future) customization of the timeout.

In a normal expression, doing [unsigned short] + 1 will not wrap
at 16 bits so the comparisons and outputs were done wrong. I
added a macro do make sure it gets done right.
Douglas Kilpatrick filed bug report #3004787 about it:

By undefing a bunch of E* defines that VC10 has started to define
but that we redefine internally to their WSA* alternatives when
building for Windows.
Eric Mertens posted bug report #3003005 pointing out that the
libcurl TFTP code was not sending the timeout option properly to
the server, and suggested a fix.

John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with
an associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine
when the multi interface is used:
Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using
select or epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears
that the cause is the fix for bug #2958179, which makes
ossl_connect_common unconditionally return from the step 2 loop
when fetching from a multi handle.
When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates
connssl->connecting_state to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common
will then return to the caller, as a multi handle is in
use. Eventually, the client code will call curl_multi_fdset to
obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the
connecting_state is ssl_connect_2_reading or
ssl_connect_2_writing. Therefore, the client will never obtain a
valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting in a
hang.

Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with
redirect following. It showed that when curl followed redirects
it didn't properly ignore the response body of the 30X response
if that response was using compressed Content-Encoding!

FTP(S) use two connections that can be set to different recv and
send functions independently, so by introducing recv+send pairs
in the same manner we already have sockets/connections we can
work with FTPS fine.
This commit fixes the FTPS regression introduced in change d64bd82.
Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi
interface, there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store
connect time correctly as it used to (and is documented to) do.
Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up
test case 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show
itself using the local test suite though.
The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as
it adds yet another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the
TIMER_CONNECT time. That situation is subject for some closer
inspection in the future.
Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly
moves out the sending and recving of data to the parts of the
code that are properly responsible for the various ways of doing
so.
Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some
minor flaws in the original patch.
Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less
with the "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more
consistently.
This is Hoi-Ho Chan's patch with some minor fixes by me. There
are some potential issues in this, but none worse than we can
sort out on the list and over time.
The main change is to allow input from user-specified methods,
when they are specified with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.
All calls to fflush(stdout) in telnet.c were removed, which makes
using 'curl telnet://foo.com' painful since prompts and other data
are not always returned to the user promptly. Use
'curl --no-buffer telnet://foo.com' instead. In general,
the user should have their CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION do a fflush
for interactive use.
Also fix assumption that reading from stdin never returns < 0.
Old code could crash in that case.

Make sure we don't call memcpy() if the argument is NULL even
though we also passed a zero length then, as the clang analyzer
whined and we want to limit warnings (even false positives) when
they're this easy to fix.
The change of (char) to (unsigned char) will fix long user names
and passwords on systems that have the char type signed by
default.
The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made this treat a
zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this
caused our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer
code to detect if an EOF is a problem or not.
