Tom Lane cae7ad906a Fix dblink_connect() so that it verifies that a password is supplied in the 
conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server.  The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
