Thanks for confirming rc3 fixes things!

The CURLOPT_USERPWD = ":" behaviour was never codified in curl's 
documentation, but given the fix they've put in place it's probably a 
good sign we can continue to rely on this.

I may propose a patch to curl documentation's patch to say that this
behaviour is expected and supported, if the they don't do it themselves 
soon already.

Thanks,
Matthew
