- failed to use authorization parameters passed in the environment, if
/dev/tty could not be opened (i.e. if running from cron)
- mixed use of /dev/tty and stdin for prompt and reading of the result
is contrary to RFC1738, which specifies that empty elements between
slashes really mean to send a CWD command with an empty argument.
Most FTP servers consider this an error, so strict RFC compliance
is advisable in this case.
for ftp: URLs as well. This can't possibly be done in the general case,
but since we only claim to support http and ftp, we'll adhere to the
bogus requirement (RFC 2068, s. 14.25) anyway... >sigh<

due to the output not being a regular file. Also split the error message
in any error case here to be on two lines to lessen the likelihood of it
being too long to fit on just one.
been extensively tested, but I now can successfully retrieve
<http://www.apache.org/index.html>, so I guess that's a victory of some
sort.
Also move the initialization of ``autherror'' to hopefully eliminate
the reported loop involving authentication. Still need to implement
MD5 digest authentication.

- Fix the bug with URIs of the form ftp://host/filename.
- Fix some more string-termination bugs in util.c.
- Use safe_malloc() rather than testing the return value of
regular malloc() in 15 places.
- Implement HTTP authentication, for both servers and proxies.
Currently only ``basic'' authentication is supported; This Is A Bug
(but less of one tjhan nmot supporting any authentication).
I think there is only one more feature which is required for full
HTTP/1.1 support, which is Transfer-Encoding: chunked; this should
not be toohard, but it isn't very important, either.
1) Implement redirects (or try to, at least).
2) Implement automatic retry after 503 errors when Retry-After is given.
3) Implement a -a flag to enable both of these behaviors.
4) Recognize Transfer-Encoding headers and emit a warning that the file
is likely to be damaged.
5) Bug fix: only write the amount of data we read.
6) Actually document some of these.
7) Fix the usage message to display flags in semi-alphabetical order.
