2013-07-18CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION: introducing a new progress callbackDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION is now the preferred progress callback function and CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION is considered deprecated. This new callback uses pure 'curl_off_t' arguments to pass on full resolution sizes. It otherwise retains the same characteristics: the same call rate, the same meanings for the arguments and the return code is used the same way. The progressfunc.c example is updated to show how to use the new callback for newer libcurls while supporting the older one if built with an older libcurl or even built with a newer libcurl while running with an older.
2013-06-14curl_easy_setopt.3: clarify CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION frequencyDaniel Stenberg
Make it clearer that the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION callback will be called more frequently than once per second when things are happening.
2013-06-08curl_easy_setopt.3: HTTP header with no contentPeter Gal
Update the documentation on how to specify a HTTP header with no content.
2013-05-20curl_easy_setopt.3: expand the PROGRESSFUNCTION sectionDaniel Stenberg
Explain the callback and its arguments better and with more descriptive text.
2013-04-28DOCS: Corrected line length of recent Secure Transport changesSteve Holme
2013-04-27darwinssl: add TLS crypto authenticationNick Zitzmann
Users using the Secure Transport (darwinssl) back-end can now use a certificate and private key to authenticate with a site using TLS. Because Apple's security system is based around the keychain and does not have any non-public function to create a SecIdentityRef data structure from data loaded outside of the Keychain, the certificate and private key have to be loaded into the Keychain first (using the certtool command line tool or the Security framework's C API) before we can find it and use it.
2013-04-27Corrected version numbers after bumpSteve Holme
2013-04-27DOCS: Updated following the addition of CURLOPT_SASL_IRSteve Holme

2013-04-24DOCS: Added reference to IETF draft for SMTP URL InterfaceSteve Holme
...when mentioning login options. Additional minor clarification of "Windows builds" to be "Windows builds with SSPI"as a way of enabling NTLM as Windows builds may be built with OpenSSL to enable NTLM or without NTLM support altogether.

2013-02-23DOCS: Updated CURLOPT_URL section following recent POP3 and IMAP changesSteve Holme

2013-02-22libcurl documentation: clarifications and typosAlexander Klauer
* Elaborates on default values of some curl_easy_setopt() options. * Reminds the user to cast variadic arguments to curl_easy_setopt() to 'void *' where curl internally interprets them as such. * Clarifies the working of the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION option for curl_easy_setopt(). * Fixes typo 'forth' → 'fourth'. * Elaborates on CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. * Adds some missing periods. * Notes that the return value of curl_version() must not be passed to free().

2012-11-23DOCS: Updated CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY to reflect usage in other protocolsSteve Holme
2012-11-06CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST: stop supporting the 1 valueDaniel Stenberg
After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and will make libcurl return error for it. 1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly this way. 1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup makes the treatment of it unified. The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this particular option. I sympathize with that position. [1] = http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2012/10/25/libcurl-claimed-to-be-dangerous/
2012-08-16curl_easy_setopt: documented CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT for SOCKOPTFUNCTIONDaniel Stenberg
2012-08-09docs: update the links to cipher-suites supported by NSSKamil Dudka

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-06/0302.html Reported by: Nagai H
2012-06-04curl_easy_setopt.3: proto updates + cleanupsDaniel Stenberg
- For all *FUNCTION options, they now all show the complete prototype in the description. Previously some of them would just refer to a typedef'ed function pointer in the curl.h header. - I made the phrasing of that "Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype" the same for all *FUNCTION option descriptions. - I removed some uses of 'should'. I think I sometimes over-use this word as in many places I actually mean MUST or otherwise more specific and not-so-optional synonyms.
2012-05-27DOCS: Corrected the "Added in" version number for CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTHSteve Holme
Additionally corrected another RFC link that I missed yesterday.
2012-05-26DOCS: Fixed line spacing of authentication examples in CURLOPT_URLSteve Holme
2012-05-26DOCS: Changed domain names in various examples to example.comSteve Holme
Updated various references of real domain names to example.com as per RFC-2606.
2012-05-26DOCS: Fixed meaning of bit 2 in CURLOPT_POSTREDIRSteve Holme
Setting bit 2 for this value was documented as having a constant value defined as CURL_REDIR_POST_303 yet referenced a 302 request. Additionally corrected the meaning of CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL for all three bits and fixed problems with the bolding of keywords in this section.
2012-05-26DOCS: Standardised how RFCs are referenced.Steve Holme
Standardised how RFCs are referenced so that the website may autolink to the correct documentation on ietf.org. Additionally removed the one link to RFC3986 on curl.haxx.se.
2012-05-24DOCS: Added LDAP to the CURLOPT_URL sectionSteve Holme
2012-05-22DOCS: Updated version number for features added in the pending releaseSteve Holme
2012-05-12NTLM: is supported in GnuTLS builds tooDaniel Stenberg

2012-05-07CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION: works for non-HTTP protocols tooDaniel Stenberg
2012-05-03Add note about default timeout in CURLOPT_TIMEOUTClaes Jakobsson
2012-04-05CURLOPT_POSTREDIR: also allow 303 to do POST on the redirected URLAndrei Cipu
As it turns out, some people do want that after all.
2012-04-01SSH: public key can now be an empty stringArmel Asselin
If an empty string is passed to CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE, libcurl will pass no public key to libssh2 which then tries to compute it from the private key. This is known to work when libssh2 1.4.0+ is linked against OpenSSL.
2012-03-31DOCS: Added information regarding POP3 commands to CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUESTSteve Holme
2012-03-10CURLSSH_OPT_AUTH: documented it has no effectArmel Asselin

2012-02-16docs: mention that NTLM works with NSS, tooKamil Dudka
2012-02-15DOCS: Added information for CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH.Steve Holme
Added information relating to the new CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH parameter and reworked CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM and CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT to be a clearer. Fixed inconsistencies of "vocalisation of the abbreviation" versus "vocalisation of the first word" for all abbreviations. Corrected a typo in CURLOPT_NOPROXY.
