2016-09-04speed caps: not based on average speeds anymoreOlivier Brunel
Speed limits (from CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE & CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE) were applied simply by comparing limits with the cumulative average speed of the entire transfer; While this might work at times with good/constant connections, in other cases it can result to the limits simply being "ignored" for more than "short bursts" (as told in man page). Consider a download that goes on much slower than the limit for some time (because bandwidth is used elsewhere, server is slow, whatever the reason), then once things get better, curl would simply ignore the limit up until the average speed (since the beginning of the transfer) reached the limit. This could prove the limit useless to effectively avoid using the entire bandwidth (at least for quite some time). So instead, we now use a "moving starting point" as reference, and every time at least as much as the limit as been transferred, we can reset this starting point to the current position. This gets a good limiting effect that applies to the "current speed" with instant reactivity (in case of sudden speed burst). Closes #971
2016-08-28darwinssl: add documentation stating that the --cainfo option is intended ↵Nick Zitzmann
for backward compatibility only In other news, I changed one other reference to "Mac OS X" in the documentation (that I previously wrote) to say "macOS" instead.

2016-04-17news: CURLOPT_CONNECT_TO and --connect-toMichael Kaufmann
Makes curl connect to the given host+port instead of the host+port found in the URL.
2016-04-06curl.1: use example.com moreDaniel Stenberg
Make (most) example snippets use the example.com domain instead of the random ones picked and used before. Some of those were probably legitimate sites and some not. example.com is designed for this purpose.
2016-04-06curl.1: change example for -FTheodore Dubois
It's a bad idea to send your passwords anywhere, especially over HTTP. Modified example to send a picture instead. Fixes #752
2016-04-02curl.1: -w filename_effective was introduced in 7.26.0Daniel Stenberg
We never made a 7.25.1 release
2016-03-31http2: more documentation for prior knowledgeDaniel Stenberg
2016-03-31http2: support "prior knowledge", no upgrade from HTTP/1.1Diego Bes
Supports HTTP/2 over clear TCP - Optimize switching to HTTP/2 by removing calls to init and setup before switching. Switching will eventually call setup and setup calls init. - Supports new version to “force” the use of HTTP/2 over clean TCP - Add common line parameter “--http2-prior-knowledge” to the Curl command line tool.
2016-02-23TFTP: add option to suppress TFTP option requests (Part 2)Jay Satiro
- Add tests. - Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3. - Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS. Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/481
2016-02-18curl.1: HTTP headers for --cookie must be Set-Cookie styleJay Satiro

2016-02-18curl.1: add a missing dashDaniel Stenberg
2016-02-12curl.1: --disable-{eprt,epsv} are ignored for IPv6 hostsKamil Dudka
The behavior has been clarified in CURLOPT_FTP_USE_{EPRT,EPSV}.3 man pages since curl-7_12_3~131. This patch makes it clear in the curl.1 man page, too. Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1305970
2016-02-03URLs: change all http:// URLs to https://Daniel Stenberg
2016-02-02HTTPS: update a bunch of URLs from HTTP to HTTPSDaniel Stenberg
2016-01-29curl.1: Explain remote-name behavior if file already existsJay Satiro
.. also warn about letting the server pick the filename.
2015-12-15curl --expect100-timeout: addedDaniel Stenberg
This is the new command line option to set the value for the existing libcurl option CURLOPT_EXPECT_100_TIMEOUT_MS
2015-11-06curl.1: remove the overlap --range exampleDaniel Stenberg
... it is just weird to include by default even if it still works.
2015-10-28curl.1: -E: s/private certificate/client certificateDaniel Stenberg
... as the certificate is strictly speaking not private. Reported-by: John Levon
2015-10-23curl.1: --ignore-content-length now works for FTP tooDaniel Stenberg
2015-09-03curl.1: update RFC referencesDaniel Stenberg
2015-09-03docs: Warn about any-domain cookies and multiple transfersJay Satiro
- Warn that cookies without a domain are sent to any domain: CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, --cookie - Note that imported Set-Cookie cookies without a domain are no longer exported: CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, --cookie-jar
2015-08-22CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL: addedNathaniel Waisbrot
- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default protocol for schemeless URLs. - Add new tool option --proto-default to expose CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL. In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way: When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default. When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.
2015-08-18docs: Update the redirect protocols disabled by defaultJay Satiro
- Clarify that FILE and SCP are disabled by default since 7.19.4 - Add that SMB and SMBS are disabled by default since 7.40.0 - Add CURLPROTO_SMBS to the list of protocols

Acknowledge that SSLv3 is also widely considered to be insecure. Also, provide references for people who want to know more about why it's insecure.

Closes #360
2015-07-17SSL: Add an option to disable certificate revocation checksJay Satiro
New tool option --ssl-no-revoke. New value CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE for CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS. Currently this option applies only to WinSSL where we have automatic certificate revocation checking by default. According to the ssl-compared chart there are other backends that have automatic checking (NSS, wolfSSL and DarwinSSL) so we could possibly accommodate them at some later point.

2015-04-25tool: New option --data-raw to HTTP POST data, '@' allowed.Anthony Avina
Add new option --data-raw which is almost the same as --data but does not have a special interpretation of the @ character. Prior to this change there was no (easy) way to pass the @ character as the first character in POST data without it being interpreted as a special character.
