Changes

• New features:
  • Now compiles for win32 using mingw
  • Added options headers and header_prefix to URL based listener auth.
  • Updated listener_remove handler:
    • Added ip= and agent=
    • Some cleanup & made code more uniform
    • Avoid int for size_t vars
    • Close #1422
  • Allow full URLs to be returned by the master server. (Closes #1878)
  • Highly experimental HTTP PUT support. (#1812)
    We are handling it the same as we would handle a SOURCE request. Due to legacy code, sender must send proper content-type header, if content type is not audio/mpeg! Can be tested using real-time encoded output and piping it into
    | curl -u username:password -H "Content-type: application/ogg" -T - http://localhost:8000/mountname.ogg
    Note that this example has zero timing, so a simple cat *.ogg will fail. Whatever feeds the pipe must do it at proper timing for real-time playback!
• Bugfixes:
  • Send proper HTTP headers in responses to clients. (Closes #1639, Ref #1870 and #1885)
  • Corrected Content-Length header in admin (raw) requests. Thanks to paluh for reporting.
  • Escape log entries in access log (Close: #1916, some fixes still pending)
