If the option is set to 0, the default timeout will be used - which in
modern libcurl versions equals 300 seconds (== 5 minutes).

When the new socket is created for an active connection, it is now done
using the open socket callback.
Test case 596 was modified to run fine, although it hides the fact that
the close callback is still called too many times, as it also gets
called for closing sockets that were created with accept().
Added pop3 username and password example as well as an explanation of
how path part of the URL is used under pop3.
Additionally have corrected a couple of typos.
Slight rewording of the CURLOPT_URL SMTP sub-section.
Corrected the incorrect use of hyphens on the three uses of
"zero-terminated" with "zero terminated" to match the rest of the
document.
Corrected the use of an out of place hyphen in CURLOPT_NOPROXY section.
Allow (*curl_write_callback) write callbacks to return
CURL_WRITEFUNC_OUT_OF_MEMORY to properly indicate libcurl of OOM conditions
inside the callback itself.
Using 'socks5h' as proxy protocol will make it a
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME proxy which is SOCKS5 and asking the proxy to
resolve host names. I found no "standard" protocol name for this.
The read callback must return the exact requested amount of data when it
is used for doing TFTP uploads. This is due to how it deals with data
internally. This could/should be fixed but for now we document the
existing behavior.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-03/0319.html
When NSS-powered libcurl connected to a SSL server with
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to zero, NSS remembered that the peer
certificate was accepted by libcurl and did not ask the second time when
connecting to the same server with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to one.
This patch turns off the SSL session cache for the particular SSL socket
if peer verification is disabled. In order to avoid any performance
impact, the peer verification is completely skipped in that case, which
makes it even faster than before.

... and update the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages such that
they do not suggest to use an OpenSSL utility if curl is not built
against OpenSSL.

This is a meta symbol. OR this value together with a single specific
auth value to force libcurl to probe for un-restricted auth and if not,
only that single auth algorithm is acceptable.
For example you can use CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_ONLY to make libcurl
first probe for what method to use, but yet only consider Digest to be
acceptable.
Using _only_ CURLAUTH_DIGEST without the CURLAUTH_ONLY field, will make
libcurl explicitly use Digest right away and not do any probing.
