+- Philippe Vaucher provided a brilliant piece of test code that show a problem
+ with re-used FTP connections. If the second request on the same connection
+ was set not to fetch a "body", libcurl could get confused and consider it an
+ attempt to use a dead connection and would go acting mighty strange.

- Make --limit-rate [num] mean bytes. It used to be that but it broke in my
change done in November 2005.
- Based on an error report by Philippe Vaucher, we no longer count a retried
connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP
connection is re-setup and 2) it does make the max-redirs counter behave
- wrong. This fix was not verified since the reporter vanished, but I believe
- this is the right fix nonetheless.

- Michal Marek provided a patch for FTP that makes libcurl continue to try
This release includes the following bugfixes:
+ o re-used FTP connections when the second request didn't do a transfer
o plain --limit-rate [num] means bytes
o re-creating a dead connection is no longer counted internally as a followed
redirect and thus prevents a weird error that would occur if a FTP
o http://curl.s-lines.net/ is a new curl web mirror in Japan
