2010-09-09curl.1: updated protocols and polished languageDaniel Stenberg
2010-04-24curl: added --proto and --proto-redirAlex Bligh
--proto tells curl to use the listed protocols for its initial retrieval --proto-redir tells curl to use the listed protocols after a redirect

2010-01-02- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specificDaniel Stenberg
versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones (listed and documented).
2010-01-01- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. ThisDaniel Stenberg
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
2009-12-31--mail-rcpt and --mail-from are starting to settle and work like this...Daniel Stenberg
2009-12-10- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retryDaniel Stenberg
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the 4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_. Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a 4xx response. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)
2009-11-27document --tftp-blksizeDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-26grrr, removed the conflict markersDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-26spell fix by Michael WoodDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-24Fabian Keil's suggested wordingDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-21add --crlfile to the man pageDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-01mention some alternative method names in the docs for --requestDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-01mention "quiet" for the --silent option to get easier to findDaniel Stenberg
2009-08-24- Eric Wong introduced support for the new option -T. (dot) that makes curlDaniel Stenberg
read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at times.
2009-08-14I think it's worth clarifying that curl DOES NOT validate a given URL moreDaniel Stenberg
than what's absolutely necessary: curl will do its best to use what you pass to it as a URL. It is not trying to validate it as a syntactically correct URL by any means but is instead VERY liberal with what it accepts.
2009-08-04RFC1867 was updated by RFC2388Daniel Stenberg
2009-06-30silly typo, pointed out by Fabian KeilDaniel Stenberg
2009-06-29- Markus Koetter made CURLOPT_FTPPORT (and curl's -P/--ftpport) support a portDaniel Stenberg
range if given colon-separated after the host name/address part. Like "192.168.0.1:2000-10000"
2009-04-23- bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by RainerDaniel Stenberg
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the lower case takes precedence,
2009-02-27mention the '-o -' trickDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-20clarified the FTP passive/active mode options somewhatDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-04Fixed a typo (spotted in the FreeBSD ports).Dan Fandrich
2009-02-02- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTPDaniel Stenberg
version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0 option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0. I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.
2009-01-28- Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl:Daniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable these.
2009-01-25- Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option.Daniel Stenberg
They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy even if one is specified.
2008-12-22- Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language,Daniel Stenberg
corrected spellings and more.
2008-10-29--ftp-method was added in 7.15.1. This mention ends up a bit oddly formattedDaniel Stenberg
but I'm not in the mood to fight nroff right now...
2008-10-09Update docs now that SFTP supports file ranges.Dan Fandrich
2008-09-10Checked in some grammatical and minor other fixes in the documentation andDan Fandrich
examples that I found in the FreeBSD ports system.
2008-09-09Mike Revi discovered some swapped speed switches documented in the curl manDan Fandrich
page.
2008-09-05- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renamesDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
2008-08-20the .netrc curl checks for is called _netrc on windows bug report #2061610Daniel Stenberg
2008-08-20Added an edited version of Vincent Le Normand's documentation of SFTP quoteDan Fandrich
commands to the man pages.
2008-08-01Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn'tDan Fandrich
support this so it goes untested.
2008-07-30- Made the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variableDaniel Stenberg
2008-07-11document the exit codes 82 and 83 that are new in 7.19.0Daniel Stenberg
2008-07-10s/muse/mustDaniel Stenberg
2008-07-10document --remote-name-allDaniel Stenberg
2008-07-03Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():Daniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer" handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named 'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-06-08the next release is now called 7.19.0Daniel Stenberg
2008-06-08- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!Daniel Stenberg
All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions, now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable verbose mode you use --no-verbose! - Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o - or --no-remote-name.
2008-04-30- To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done onDaniel Stenberg
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
2008-03-13--ftp-create-dirs works on SFTP as wellDan Fandrich
2008-02-18just mention in --cacert that curl normally has a default ca cert path built-inDaniel Stenberg
2008-01-25using anyauth isn't unconditionally an extra roundtripDaniel Stenberg
