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

2016-09-01CURLMOPT_PIPELINING.3: extended and clarifiedDaniel Stenberg
Especially in regards to the multiplexing part.
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.

2016-08-05CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY: now enabled by defaultDaniel Stenberg
After a few wasted hours hunting down the reason for slowness during a TLS handshake that turned out to be because of TCP_NODELAY not being set, I think we have enough motivation to toggle the default for this option. We now enable TCP_NODELAY by default and allow applications to switch it off. This also makes --tcp-nodelay unnecessary, but --no-tcp-nodelay can be used to disable it.

2016-06-11CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.3: Clarify what happens when set emptyJay Satiro
When CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is set to an empty string libcurl will send a zero-byte POST. Prior to this change it was documented as sending data from the read callback. This also changes the wording of what happens when empty or NULL so that it's hopefully easier to understand for people whose primary language isn't English.

2016-04-11http2: Add handling stream level errorTatsuhiro Tsujikawa
Previously, when a stream was closed with other than NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR by RST_STREAM, underlying TCP connection was dropped. This is undesirable since there may be other streams multiplexed and they are very much fine. This change introduce new error code CURLE_HTTP2_STREAM, which indicates stream error that only affects the relevant stream, and connection should be kept open. The existing CURLE_HTTP2 means connection error in general. Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/659 Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/663
2016-04-09CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE: Merged with CURLOPT_PROXY_SERVICE_NAMESteve Holme
As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for SOCK5 proxies and the latter for HTTP proxies, merged the two options together. As such CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE is marked as deprecated as of 7.49.0.
