Curl and libcurl 7.9.5 is out! This is mainly a bugfix release.

Get curl 7.9.5 from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html. As usual, allow some
time before the popular binary archives are up-to-date with this.

This release includes the following changes:

 o Bugfixed the client-side backslash treatment in URLs
 o Mofied the file hierarchy in the archive somewhat
 o Added CURLOPT_PREQUOTE
 o Bugfixed the dowloaded header size counter
 o Bugfixed the cookie parser
 o Replaced the former test HTTP server with a new one written in C
 o -w now supports %{content_type}
 o Bugfixed the total time counter that could end up blank at times
 o Minor portability changes
 o Tweaked name resolves with getaddrinfo() to run faster on Linux
 o Bugfixed big HTTP requests (such as big POSTs)
 o Bugfixed connection timeouts
 o Bugfixed Host: lines on multiple requests over proxy
 o Bugfixed 64bit archtitecture builds.
 o Bugfixed Expect: header disabling
 o Improved the Windows makefiles and install documentation
 o Bugfixed multipart formposts
 o Bugfixed CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE
 o Bugfixed another SSL download problem

advice from friends like these:
