curl_easy_reset clears all the saved user data, including the CURLOPT_REFERER string.

However, a pointer to this string has been saved in the change.referer field, which is not cleared. This can cause problems if another request is made without the user explicitly resetting CURLOPT_REFERER.

Suggested fix: clear the cached change.referer field (and any other similar fields) when curl_easy_reset is called.
