For POST and PUT, libcurl adds by default a "Expect: 100-continue" header and wait for the server to reply with a 100 response. However, since the server never does that (LL comment in the code "I'm not sure what it means") it's up to libcurl to continue anyway after a while and that part is apparently bugged, causing people not to be able to login sometimes. But suppressing the header, libcurl doesn't wait for it and we worked around this bug. The commit introduces a much improved CurlEasyRequest::setPost method that enforces the above for POST, but that also no longer uses CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS (but CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS), no longer making a copy of the body of what we are going to send to the server. Instead it uses a new object, derived from AIPostField, to keep track of this data and to dispose of it once the transaction is complete (and no sooner). Copied from llcorehttp, we now also always set a "Connection: keep-alive" and "Keep-alive: 300" header for POST. This was already done for texture downloads (HttpOpRequest), but now we do it always :p. Might need to be changed in the future, but currently those headers are ignored by the server anyway.

continuity breaks up; a point in history at which machine becomes smarter than

Singularity Viewer is a Second Life protocol compatible client application. It
can be used to access Second LIfe service as well as a number of other such as
those based upon OpenSim plattform. It is directly based upon source code of
Ascent Viewer by Balseraph Software Group, which is in turn based upon source
code released by Linden Lab, with contributions from various sources.
