Hi all,

I've had an interesting couple of hours writing content for the man pages
and as such have attached the appropriate patch :)

This patch includes:

* Information about the format of the URL.
* Talks about the various parts of the URL from Schema (Protocol), through
host, port to path.
* Gives protocol specific information about path for HTTP, FTP and SMTP.
* Includes appropriate examples, some of which you will recognise from the
main curl man page.

Note: It still includes a paragraph about the "fragment part" which I
understand was prior to v7.20. I'm not sure what this is related to as I've
not been involved with libcurl that long so I have left it there (although
corrected a spelling mistake).

The update seems to have come through now - Cheers Daniel.

I want to provide a follow up patch that will:

* Move HOSTNAME_MAX into Curl_gethostname.h as there are definitions for
this in Curl_gethostname.c and Curl_ntlm_msg.c
* Modify smtp.c to use HOSTNAME_MAX rather than hardcoding it to 1024 (which
happens to be the same length as HOSTNAME_MAX)
* Tidy up Curl_ntlm_msg.c to remove the post Curl_gethostname() code that
strips of the domain as this is no longer required
 
Does anyone object to this / is anyone working on these at the moment?

Cheers

Steve
