-Subject: [PATCH] threaded-resolver: revert Curl_expire_latest() switch
-
-The switch to using Curl_expire_latest() in commit cacdc27f52b was a
-mistake and was against the advice even mentioned in that commit. The
-comparison in asyn-thread.c:Curl_resolver_is_resolved() makes
-Curl_expire() the suitable function to use.
-
-Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1426
