Hi, Daniel,

        Ha. I am surrendered. You are really great to maintain those code. After I
add some codes, it will be easily break the others. But I still think that
libcurl should be able to handle some poor servers. Here is the patch to
transfer.c which seems have no side effect up to now I have been tested. But
it is not the clever patch you want I think.

        What do you thnk about the patch? Will it introduce some undesired
behaviours?

Jacky
