- Eric Wong's patch:

This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
  protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
  HTTP response.  This requires server support for sending a response while a
  request is still being read, of course.

  If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
  This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
  (and thus sending) is paused.

This change was needed to allow successfully tunneling the git protocol over
HTTP (--no-buffer is needed, as well).

- Replaced use of standard C library rand()/srand() by our own pseudo-random
number generator.
