I do not build with NO_EXPAT. This is running the tests on OS X without
this patch applied.  Is something else required to get a failure?

Hmm. I think it is probably this:

 http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20150108B.html

where curl has started complaining about URLs with newlines in them. So
ae021d8 did introduce a bug, but older versions of curl did not really
care. The combination of ae021d8 with a new version of curl triggers the
problem.

I'm running curl 7.38, and in this context "older" is anything before 7.40, so that would explain it. curl 7.38 was released 2014-09-10, so it's only 4 months old at this point. 7.40 was only released 5 days ago on 2015-01-08 which is probably why there have not been a whole lot of reports about this so far.

And that also explains why it worked prior to eecc8367f4; curl was more
forgiving. Also, interestingly, if you "git log -S'- 6' http-push.c",
you can see the exact same bug reappear and go away in 2006/2007. The
implicit "chop one character" behavior is there in the original
3dfaf7bc, adding http-push support. Then it disappears as a side effect
of bfbd0bb6, and then comes back again in eecc8367.

After updating to curl 7.40 I get:

t5540-http-push-webdav.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 19 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  10
  Non-zero exit status: 1

Anyway. I think my patch is still the right thing. But that does explain
why we didn't notice the test failure.

And then after applying your patch I'm back to:

t5540-http-push-webdav.sh .. ok

So definitely a needed patch.
