Hi,

I was testing an application based on curl 7.7.3 on some URLs, and it ran
into an endless loop while while trying to fetch http://www.lifeline.de.
The reason was a redirect:

----
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 11:15:10 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix)
Location:  /cda/page/center/0,1347,,FF.html
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html
----
Note the two spaces after the Location: field (allowed according to RFC 2068
section 4.2).  Unfortunately, curl copied the second space into the new URL...
This patch fixes the problem:
----
diff -cwr curl-7.7.3-orig/lib/transfer.c curl-7.7.3/lib/transfer.c

                  ptr = start; /* start scanning here */
                  /* scan through the string to find the end */
                  while(*ptr && !isspace((int)*ptr))
