40e8b4e527 - I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is
used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use
  unless explicitly asked for.

33bea767eb Convert (most of) the test data files into genuine XML. A handful still
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ).  This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.

da58d03ff7 Venkat Akella found out that libcurl did not like HTTP responses that simply
responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.

To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
cases got really painful and boring.

5d9fc28fa7 Modified the default HTTP headers used by libcurl:
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:

 - no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)

B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:

 - "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
 - "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)

C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:

 - "Host: [name]:[port]"
 - "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"

01165e08e0 Fred New reported a bug where we used Basic auth and user name and password in
.netrc, and when following a Location: the subsequent requests didn't properly
use the auth as found in the netrc file. Added test case 257 to verify my fix.
