History of Changes
+Daniel (24 October 2001)
+- T. Bharath found a memory leak in the cookie engine. When we update a cookie
+ that we already knew about, we lost a chunk of memory in the progress... The
+ brand new test case 27 now tests for this occurrence. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/cookie.c.diff?r1=1.24&r2=1.25]

+- pack_hostent() didn't properly align some pointers, so at least SPARC CPUs
+ would core. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/hostip.c.diff?r1=1.34&r2=1.35]
+
+Daniel (22 October 2001)
+- Tom Benoist reported that this SGI IRIX compiler didn't handle indented
+ preprocessor instructions, so they're no longer in the source code!
+
+- Applied Kevin Roth's patches to make it easier to build cygwin packages from
+ the out-of-the-box curl release archives.
+
+- I forgot to mention it below, but libcurl now closes connections that report
+ transfer failures. Unconditionally. This could be made more nicely in the
+ future if we set a flag or something that the connection is still good to be
+ used for the errors that know that for a fact. We have to close the
+ connection for the cases where we abort for example a HTTP transfer in the
+ middle, or otherwise we might re-use that connection later with lots of data
+ still being sent to us on it.
+
+Daniel (19 October 2001)
+- CURLE_GOT_NOTHING is now returned when a HTTP server doesn't return
+ anything, not even a header. test case 37 was added to test for this.
+
+- T. Bharath made curl_easy_duphandle() properly clone the cookie status as
+ well.
+
+Version 7.9.1-pre4
+
+Daniel (18 October 2001)
+- CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, set with "curl --fail" no longer returns an error if
+ the HTTP return code is below 400.
+
+Daniel (17 October 2001)
+- The test suite now kills any running test http server when you re-start the
+ tests.
+
+- We had to remote 'use strict' from two perl scripts, as the cygwin
+ adjustments didn't play nicely otherwise for some reason. Any perl wizard
+ out there who can put the scrict back and still make it run good on unix and
+ cygwin?
+
+- A potential memory leak pointed out to us by Yanick Pelletier was removed.
+ It would occur when a http file transfer fails. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/transfer.c.diff?r1=1.60&r2=1.61]
+
+- The memory debugging system should no longer display anything to stderr
+ if the curl_memdebug() hasn't been used to explicitly say so. This makes it
+ easier to use the memory debug system and switch the logging on/off.
+
+Daniel (16 October 2001)
+- Kevin Roth provided fixes for building curl nicer in cygwin environments.
+
+Daniel (12 October 2001)
+- Cleaning up the progress meter/info code. The "current speed" is now more
+ accurate than before as we now use the true time spent between the measures,
+ and not just "assuming" every-second-update like before. The output should
+ now also be of the same width at all times, never to show "extra" zeroes on
+ the right edge.
+
+- After talking about possible Location: bugs on the mailing list, I modified
+ the "absolute URL" checker in lib/transfer.c to be more strict when checking
+ if the redirected URL is absolute.
+
+Daniel (11 October 2001)
+- Kevin Roth provided patches that make the test suite run fine on Windows
+ 2000 running cygwin.
+
+Daniel (10 October 2001)
+- Setting the -c or the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option now enables the cookie parser.
+ Previously -b or CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE was also required for the jar to work.
+
+Version 7.9.1-pre3

- Added a new option to the command line client: -0/--http1.0. It uses the new
libcurl option CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION to request that libcurl uses HTTP 1.0
