(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=
1480821) He found and identified a
problem with how libcurl dealt with GnuTLS and a case where gnutls returned
GNUTLS_E_AGAIN indicating it would block. It would then return an unexpected
return code, making Curl_ssl_send() confuse the upper layer - causing random
28 bytes trash data to get inserted in the transfered stream.
The proper fix was to make the Curl_gtls_send() function return the proper
return codes that the callers would expect. The Curl_ossl_send() function
already did this.
