Curl and libcurl 7.15.3

(This very day 8 years ago the first ever curl release was published.)

This is mostly a security-related-problem-fixed release. Download curl from
http://curlm.haxx.se/download.html or use the download wizard at
http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/.

  Number of public functions in libcurl: 46
  Amount of public web site mirrors: 31
  Number of known libcurl bindings: 32
  Number of contributors: 487

This release includes the following changes:

  o added docs for --ftp-method and CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD

This release includes the following bugfixes:

  o properly detecting problems with sending the FTP command USER
  o wrong error message shown when certificate verification failed

Other curl-related news since the previous public release:

  o pycurl-7.15.2 has been released: http://pycurl.sf.net
  o http://curl.download.nextag.com/ is a new US curl web mirror!

This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:

  Gisle Vanem, Dan Fandrich, Thomas Klausner, Todd Vierling, Peter Heuchert,
  Markus Koetter, David McCreedy, Tor Arntsen

         Thanks! (and sorry if I forgot to mention someone)
