'couple of quirks detected when trying to compile curl 7.7 beta 2 on
MingW32. I'll check them into cvs tonight if I can get the connection up.

Also, I'm getting CURLE_READ_ERRORs after 4k of downloaded content when
trying to read a page via https.
Example:
        curl http://www.zedz.net/index.html works,
        curl https://www.zedz.net/index.html fails after 4096 bytes.

*** END Screendump

All this is on curl 7.7 beta 2 (MingW32), Windows2K, OpenSSL 0.9.6
(MingW32).
Please see if you can reproduce this erroneous behaviour, otherwise I'll try
to hunt it down in the platform specific code.

Cheers,
