Daniel Stenberg 042cc1f69e - David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw
(http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
  which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
  arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
  together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
  new behavior:

  o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
  follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
  excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
  them in your app if you really want that behavior.

  o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
  using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
  other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
  protocols libcurl may have been built to support.

README.win32

  Read the README file first.

  Curl has been compiled, built and run on all sorts of Windows and win32
  systems. While not being the main develop target, a fair share of curl users
  are win32-based.

  The unix-style man pages are tricky to read on windows, so therefore are all
  those pages converted to HTML as well as pdf, and included in the release
  archives.

  The main curl.1 man page is also "built-in" in the command line tool. Use a
  command line similar to this in order to extract a separate text file:

        curl -M >manual.txt

  Read the INSTALL file for instructions how to compile curl self.
