    * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
      - use tcgetattr() on STDOUT instead of STDIN so that term.log
        works for redirected stdin
+     - print error in log if tcgetattr() fails instead of writing
+       a empty file

 +    - add missing curl_easy_cleanup()
 +  * methods/http.cc:
 +    - quote spaces in filenames to ensure as the http method is also
 +      (potentially) used for non deb,dsc content that may contain
 +      spaces, thanks to Daniel Hartwig and Thomas Bushnell 
 +      (LP: #1086997)
 +    - quote plus in filenames to work around a bug in the S3 server
