         [httpd] Fixed a number of transfer-encoding problems.<BR>

         First part of the data received from a CGI-script was sent 
         as chunked even if the client was HTTP/1.0.<BR>

         Introduced new directive 
         (<CODE>DisableChunkedTransferEncodingSend</CODE>) to turn off usage 
         of chunked transfer-encoding (when sending) since it appear's 
         some browser's have problems handling this. This applies 
         if the client is HTTP/1.1.<BR>

         On Windows the <CODE>ftp:ls</CODE> function sometimes exits.<BR>

         Workaround for a problem that seems to happen only on Windows
         when calling the ls function. Closing an already closed socket 
         will result in enotsock returned which will result in an exit.<BR>
