I would like to humbly ask you to have a look at the newly uploaded curl 7.7
beta 2 archive at http://curl.haxx.se/beta/.

Curl, and especially libcurl, have been changed a lot since the last release.
The biggest changes are the introduced persistant connection support and the
fact that libcurl now talks HTTP 1.1.

I need people to verify that curl still configures, compiles and builds under
most operating systems.

I need help to verify that curl still runs and works on most URLs as it did
previously.

I need help to verify that libcurl still runs and works as the previous
versions (with unmodified interface usage).

I also need you to try out the new stuff and to verify that curl and libcurl
truely can re-use connections.
