The URL parser got a little stricter as it now considers a ? to be a
host name divider so that the slightly sloppier URLs work too. The
problem that made me do this change was the reported problem with an URL
like: www.example.com?email=name@example.com This form of URL is not
really a legal URL (due to the missing slash after the host name) but is
widely accepted by all major browsers and libcurl also already accepted
it, it was just the '@' letter that triggered the problem now.
The side-effect of this change is that now libcurl no longer accepts the
? letter as part of user-name or password when given in the URL, which
it used to accept (and is tested in test 191). That letter is however
mentioned in RFC3986 to be required to be percent encoded since it is
used as a divider.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3090268
HTTP allows that a server sends trailing headers after all the chunks
have been sent WITHOUT signalling their presence in the first response
headers. The "Trailer:" header is only a SHOULD there and as we need to
handle the situation even without that header I made libcurl ignore
Trailer: completely.
Test case 1116 was added to verify this and to make sure we handle more
than one trailer header properly.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3052450
The 66 bytes checked are those 38 bytes with the chunked encoding
headers added: 8+8+10+35+5 = 66
The three-letter words become 8 bytes on the wire because they are sent
like: "3\r\none\r\n"
... and there's the trailing 5 bytes write after the four lines since
the final chunk is sent (which is "0\r\n\r\n").
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.
- 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.

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.

test case 1106 that verifies this functionality.

request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth
for the proxy causing an inifinite loop!
I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't
think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the
stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.

CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who
don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the
libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the
subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the
patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302
option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.

The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it

introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is

from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.

It was a hack to begin with and since it doesn't work and hasn't worked
correctly for a long time and nobody has even noticed, I consider it a very
suitable subject for plain removal. And so it was done.
