Removed old function

Fixed a bug when running into redirection loops - normally, libwww stops after 6 redirections but this can be changed for a particular request using HTRequest_setMaxRetry(...). This was fine, but the redirection filter didn't return the right status afterwards

Now the redirection filter adds a link relationship between the source and the destination of the redirection, so the application later on can recall this relationship

NEW TRACE MESSAGES - see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-lib/1999JanMar/0267.html for details

Jose Kahan: Suppose you're browsing a site and need to send your password. libwww memorizes your password and won't prompt you again for it. However, if you get redirected, the redirection handler doesn't erase the authentication info (credentials) associated with your request and adds a new set of credentials when launching the new request.

Moved the cache filters to HTCache from HTFilter as there were dependency problems in compiling the msvc DLLs - this also makes more sense, in fact. Also changed the handling of the cache root to be OS independent - guess what, we use a URI now

* Modified the authentication module interface so that it's possible to use a
  filter for authentication information. This removed the dependency problems
  we had with the Windows DLLs

Note that the API for HTAA_newModule changed to allow registering the filter
for the authentication information. If you were previously
 using the library's initialization functions (e.g., HTAAInit), the change will
be transparent for you. Otherwise, you'll have to take into account the new
interface:

==============
PUBLIC HTAAModule * HTAA_newModule (const char *        scheme,
                                    HTNetBefore *       before,
                                    HTNetAfter *        after,
                                    HTNetAfter *        update,
                                    HTUTree_gc *        gc)
==============

If you don't have a filter for the authentication information, just use the NULL
parameter. You may look at HTInit.c:HTAAInit() to see how it is done.

JK: Expired cache items weren't being reloaded

Added support for new cache check in the existing cache filter

A set of changes: 1) Added support for etags in 201 responses. This will help avoiding overrides of PUT 2) Added timeout support. Default timeout in webbot and command line tool is 20secs. Can be changed using the -timeout option 3) Fixed a problem that prevented idle connections to be closed after 60 secs idle time. Client side closes are a lot easier to deal with 4) Expanded progress flags in HTAlert to be 32 bit instead of 16 bit as I was running out of flags.

Added alert message when status is 503 Retry to the information filter
