2008-04-10clarify the COOKIE option a bitDaniel Stenberg
2008-03-25spell it out loudly and clearly that CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION is onlyDaniel Stenberg
functional if libcurl is built against OpenSSL
2008-03-11Recommend passing a 1 as parameter to CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT rather thanDaniel Stenberg
a "dummy" just to get things as fixed as possible in case we ever get the urge to change this to actually mean something.
2008-03-11- Added a type checking macro for curl_easy_setopt(), needs gcc-4.3 and onlyMichal Marek
works in C mode atm (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0267.html , http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0292.html )
2008-02-19applied patch to disable SSLv2 by default; discussion:Gunter Knauf
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1767276&group_id=976&atid=350976 Submitted by Kaspar Brand.
2008-01-11Daniel Egger made CURLOPT_RANGE work on file:// URLs the very same way itDaniel Stenberg
already worked for FTP:// URLs
2008-01-10Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allowDaniel Stenberg
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
2008-01-08Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the readDaniel Stenberg
and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or writing get paused.
2008-01-05Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5Daniel Stenberg
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new curl_easy_setopt() option. The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
2008-01-04Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let theDaniel Stenberg
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
2008-01-02Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies, whichDaniel Stenberg
is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5). --socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
2007-12-08mention how to enable chunked encoding for POSTsDaniel Stenberg
2007-12-02Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to controlDaniel Stenberg
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers better with the appending done!
2007-11-20clarify somewhat what happens to some data when a share is set to be usedDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-15Mention first version with CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS.Dan Fandrich
Don't confuse NUL with NULL.
2007-10-15Fix dynamic CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS bug: back to static.Patrick Monnerat
CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS option added for dynamic. Fix some OS400 features.
2007-10-09Add a paragraph about CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST not actually changing libcurl'sDaniel Stenberg
behavior, it only changes the actual request method keyword and this is not always what the user/app wants.
2007-10-05Alexey Pesternikov documented CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA andDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION
2007-10-05Michael Wallner made the CULROPT_COOKIELIST option support a new magicDaniel Stenberg
string: "FLUSH". Using that will cause libcurl to flush its cookies to the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR file.
2007-10-03Based on a patch brought by Johnny Luong, libcurl now offersDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.
2007-10-02CURLOPT_POST301 section, added by Philip LangdaleDaniel Stenberg
2007-08-31Renamed the CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED error code to CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED.Dan Fandrich
Renamed the curl_ftpssl enum to curl_usessl and its enumerated constants, creating macros for backward compatibility.
2007-08-30Renamed several libcurl error codes and options to make them more generalDan Fandrich
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary) compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined. Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
2007-08-07Usage of the BCURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION callback is not recommended when usingDaniel Stenberg
the multi interface, but having the comment in here caused more questions than we fixed problems so I remove it now. It still works fine.
2007-08-02clarify that setting POSTFIELDS to NULL or "" is not enough to make a zero byteDaniel Stenberg
POST
2007-08-01Patrick Monnerat and I modified libcurl so that now it *copies* all stringsDaniel Stenberg
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given strings and keep private copies.
2007-07-20Document pwd as an sftp quote command for curl(1), and show it asDan Fandrich
lower case for consistency since sftp commands are case insensitive.
2007-07-18SFTP also supports PWDJames Housley
2007-07-18Added the list of sftp quote commands.Dan Fandrich
2007-07-11Added the first libcurl version to which the SSH options were added.Dan Fandrich
2007-07-02Fix problem with the indenting noticed by PavelJames Housley
2007-07-01mention the old nameDaniel Stenberg
2007-07-01Thomas J. Moore provided a patch that introduces Kerberos5 support inDaniel Stenberg
libcurl. This also makes the options change name to --krb (from --krb4) and CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL (from CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL) but the old names are still
2007-06-27Add two new options for the SFTP/SCP/FILE protocols: CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMSJames Housley
and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS. These control the premissions for files and directories created on the remote server. CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS defaults to 0644 and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS defaults to 0755
2007-06-13Update documentation to reflect SFTP's ability to create directories onJames Housley
upload. Some text provieded by Tom Regner
2007-05-30Added CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS which is a curl_multi_setopt() option for settingDaniel Stenberg
the maximum size of the connection cache maximum size of the multi handle.
2007-05-15Added support for quote commands before a transfer using SFTP and testDan Fandrich
case 614. Allow SFTP quote commands chmod, chown, chgrp to set a value of 0.
2007-05-08CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_STOR_FILE is now known as CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED. This isDaniel Stenberg
because I just made SCP uploads return this value if the file size of the upload file isn't given with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE*. Docs updated to reflect this news, and a define for the old name was added to the public header file.
2007-05-03Fixed a few typos.Dan Fandrich
2007-05-03document the new 200alias behaviourDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-23Added --pubkey option to curl and made --key also work for SCP/SFTP,Dan Fandrich
plus made --pass work on an SSH private key as well.
2007-03-12RECV is for downloadDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-11reverted the pselect patch => http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-03/0100.htmlDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-10- Bryan Henderson introduces two things:Daniel Stenberg
1) the progress callback gets called more frequently (at times) 2) libcurl *might* call the callback when it receives a signal
2007-02-22setting CURLOPT_PROXY to "" explicitly disables the use of a proxy (even ifDaniel Stenberg
there is an environment variable set)
2007-02-20New FTP CCC functionality - adds passive and active mode to accomodate for ↵Linus Nielsen Feltzing
different server behaviour
2007-02-12Rob Crittenden added support for NSS (Network Security Service) for theDaniel Stenberg
SSL/TLS layer. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/
2007-02-12- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sentDaniel Stenberg
to the debug callback. - Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.
2007-02-05- Michael Wallner provided a patch that adds support for CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MSDaniel Stenberg
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch. Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did *1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
2007-01-17clarify the INFILESIZE option(s)Daniel Stenberg
