cURL 7.16.3

curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting FTP, FTPS, TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. curl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, kerberos...), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.

Changes:
- added curl_multi_socket_action()
- deprecated curl_multi_socket()

- more than one test harness can run at the same time without conflict
- SFTP now supports quote commands before a transfer
- CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS added to curl_multi_setopt()
- upload resume works for file:// URLs
- asynchronous name resolves now require c-ares 1.4.0 or later
- added SOCKS test cases
- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS and --ftp-create-dirs now work for SFTP operations as well
Bugfixes:
- if2up too long interface name memory leak
- test case 534 started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using for a host which was supposed not to exist.
- test suite SSL certificate works better with newer stunnel
- internal progress meter update frequency back to once per second

- GnuTLS free of NULL credentials
- NSS-fix for closing down SSL
- bad warning from configure when gnutls was selected
- compilation on VMS 64-bit mode
- SCP/SFTP downloads could hang on the last bytes of a transfer

- curl -V / curl_version*() works even when GnuTLS is used on a system without a good random source
- curl_multi_socket() not noticing newly added handles
- lack of Content-Length and chunked encoding now requires HTTP 1.1 as well to be treated as without response body
- connection cache growth in multi handles
- better handling of out of memory conditions
