LYNX-DEV v2.7 bug fixes

[Foteos Macrides]

        I added a BUGFIXES description file (appended), a 27bugfixes.zip
with replacement files for lynx2-7.zip, and a 27bugfixes.zip-lst listing
file, in:

        http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/

        27bugfixes.zip has *only* bug fixes - for bugs that should
have been caught and fixed during the month of pre-release testing,
but, unfortunately, weren't.  It is not development code, just bug
fixes for the 1997-02-15 v2.7 release.

                Bug fixes for the February 15, 1997 Lynx v2.7.
                ==============================================
        Break out 27bugfixes.zip with -u (after breakout of the 1997-02-15
        lynx2-7.zip) to have the new modules replace those with bugs, and
        then make a clean new Lynx image.

1997-02-22
* Fixed a memory management glitch which could cause a crash if the
  MIME type of a reply to a FORM submission with METHOD=POST caused a
  download offer to be invoked. - FM
* Don't simplify ftp URLs by trimming trailing slashes if the URL is
  being proxied.  The Netscape proxy server for some unknown reason
  can return redirection for ftp URLs with the slash appended, and
  trimming it can result in a redirection loop.  Based on a posted
  patch from KW. - FM
* Fixed two typos in the checks for HTPassHighCtrlRaw in LYExpandString()
  of LYCharUtils.c. - KW
* Fixed typo in the equality check on line 1553 in HTGopher.c. - AM
1997-02-19
* Reset the host string after an '@', if present, when trimming default
  ":port" fields in the new code aimed at compliance with the Masinter
  and Fielding URL drafts, expected to replace RFCs 1738 and 1808.  The
  distributed code neglected to do that, and was ending up on a ":password"
  field, if present, instead of on the ":port" field, causing the username
  to be treated as the host name.  - FM
* Expand the default port trimming so as to include all of the registered
  URL schemes which support a port field in the v2.7 release. - FM
* Correctly uncache the current directory listing when invoking an 'u'pload,
  so that it will be updated to include the uploaded file if placed in the
  current directory.  The released code attempted to do this in a manner
  which prevented a pop, so that the directory listing couldn't be restored
  on return from the uploader menu. - FM
* Recognize a bookmark file used as the startfile, whether it resides in the
  home directory or in a subdirectory off home.  The released code failed if
  the file was in home, and not in a subdirectory, unless the -book switch
  was used instead of a startfile entry or WWW_HOME variable. - FM
