RE: Problem using CURL behind a proxy using proxytunnel option, seemingly a bug has been introduced between version 7.28.1 and 7.29

As there have been no responses so far, I'm going to consider the following bug "reported" and I'm sticking with my workarounds.

--------------------------------
Summary :
- It's all about the --proxytunnel option and the fact we have an http proxy.
        Without it a directory listing is returned as an HTML page which is a pain to parse
        With the option file transfers don't work
        Without it I can't create directories on the FTP server (using the --ftp-create-dirs option) so uploads will fail. I did workaround in a script by first doing the command using the create dirs option with proxytunnel, then doing the upload without the proxytunnel option.
- It's a bug that was introduced between 7.28.1 and 7.29
        - I was using 7.29 on Windows and it couldn't pass our proxy properly
        - I tried on Ubuntu and the most recent version in the repo was 7.27 and it worked.
        - But I need it on a Windows server so I looked up an older binary and found 7.19.5 which worked as well.
        - I figured the bug might have been specific to 7.29 so I downloaded the most recent one, 7.32 for Win32. It still has the same problem as 7.29 .
        - Afterwards I tried every version I could find between 7.27 and 7.29 and everything works up until but not beyond 7.29.
