+Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
+- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and
+ there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
+ Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
+ broken clients.
+
+ The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
+ text to the right of it).
+
+ libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
+ CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
+ CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
+ and proxy.
+
+ (note that there's no way to activate this with the curl tool yet)

- Added test cases 1089 and 1090 to test --write-out after a redirect to
test a report that the size didn't work, but these test cases pass.

+.IP CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE
+HTTP Digest authentication with an IE flavor. Digest authentication is
+defined in RFC2617 and is a more secure way to do authentication over public
+networks than the regular old-fashioned Basic method. The IE flavor is simply
+that libcurl will use a special "quirk" that IE is known to have used before

+added in 7.19.3)
.IP CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE
HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication. The GSS-Negotiate (also known as plain
\&"Negotiate") method was designed by Microsoft and is used in their web
