7.11.0-release issues

Hi

We are now down to 6 specific issues left to be fixed before release. During
the next week (until sunday january 18th), focus will be at getting these
fixed and sorted out. Issues still not fixed at that time will not be included
in 7.11.0. I think we could live with that, as none of these 6 issues is a
problem added after 7.10.8 so what we have now is still a lot better than the
previous public release is.

Open issues:

3. Apply Peter Sylvester's multi patches (work in progress). Attached to this
   mail is the current issue 3 patch, which leaks memory when test 509 runs.
   I believe Peter is working on this.

6. REST fix for servers not behaving well on >2GB requests. I just posted
   another mail on this subject. I wish to rethink the previously suggested
   approaches, and most likely postpone this for 7.11.1.

8. Resolve the occational test case 91 failure. This is an annoying problem
   but I don't think it bites anyone very hard.

12. The "PUT and (NTLM/Digest) auth" bug #862835. I've attached the test patch
   I made for this, for which I haven't got any feedback yet. We probably need
   to hack the test suite web server when we fix this, since it currently
   hangs when receiving a PUT or POST request with a non-zero Content-Length:
   header that doesn't send any data...

17. Diego Casorran's AmigaOS patch. Feedback sent to Diego, awaiting response.

19. Resolve Giuseppe Attardi's "elusive cache bug". As posted earlier today,
    I think we need to write up a test program that exercises this code a lot
    to verify that it works exactly as intended and to iron out these
    problems.

Feel free to jump in or comment on any of these issues.
