2008-12-29further clarifcation based on input from Anthony BryanDaniel Stenberg
2008-12-28Anthony Bryan's man page cleanup in language and spellingDaniel Stenberg
2008-12-28Anthony Bryan reported quirks, I updatedDaniel Stenberg
2008-12-28Anthony Bryan reported and I corrected two typos.Daniel Stenberg
2008-12-28The CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL description wasn't properly formatted and thus wasDaniel Stenberg
corrupted in ouputs. Another report from Anthony Bryan.
2008-12-28Anthony Bryan reported this outputs wrong in the PDF and I've now tried toDaniel Stenberg
escape these letters what I think is the correct way.
2008-12-22- Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language,Daniel Stenberg
corrected spellings and more.
2008-12-19expand the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR explanationDaniel Stenberg
2008-12-10- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 andDaniel Stenberg
there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such broken clients. The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and text to the right of it). libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server and proxy.
2008-12-09Documented CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY as being useful only on HTTP URLs.Dan Fandrich
2008-11-17Fixed an outdated mention of having keep strings around in curl_easy_setoptDan Fandrich
calls. Added a paragraph explaining that libcurl takes care of low-level protocol details. Made a few minor edits.
2008-11-05mention the speed unit for the _SPEED_LARGE options from bug #2226722Daniel Stenberg
2008-10-28Mention more restrictions on timeouts when using signalsDan Fandrich
2008-10-28Philippe Vaucher pointed out this use of an outdated option name...Daniel Stenberg
2008-10-17remove some spurious line-endingsYang Tse
2008-10-16CURLOPT_POST301 => CURLOPT_POSTREDIRDan Fandrich
2008-10-16- Igor Novoseltsev added CURLOPT_PROXYUSER and CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD that thenDaniel Stenberg
make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.
2008-10-16mention the openssl requirement for the certinfo dataDaniel Stenberg
2008-10-16correct version number for the certinfo additionDaniel Stenberg
2008-10-16Added CURLINFO_CERTINFODaniel Stenberg
2008-10-09Fixed a leftover reference to CURLOPT_FTP_SSL (thanks to Carlos AlloattiDan Fandrich
for spotting it).
2008-10-08- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options toDaniel Stenberg
curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
2008-09-10Checked in some grammatical and minor other fixes in the documentation andDan Fandrich
examples that I found in the FreeBSD ports system.
2008-09-09Hammer home the fact that "multi interface" != "multi-threaded"Dan Fandrich
2008-09-07SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL was just never added as an option!Daniel Stenberg
2008-09-05- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. ByDaniel Stenberg
enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me test and smoothen out this feature. Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use OpenSSL. This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!
2008-08-28Fixed a couple of typosDan Fandrich
2008-08-20Added an edited version of Vincent Le Normand's documentation of SFTP quoteDan Fandrich
commands to the man pages.
2008-08-06- mention curl_multi_socket_action() rather than the deprecatedDaniel Stenberg
curl_multi_socket() - don't claim that it has an argument named 'easy' because it doesn't!
2008-07-30- Phil Blundell added the CURLOPT_SCOPE option, as well as adjusted the URLDaniel Stenberg
parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the scope given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be URL escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is: "http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
2008-07-23Eliminated references to TRUE and FALSE since those identifiers aren'tDan Fandrich
defined by the libcurl API. Also changed curl_easy_setopt examples to pass longs where appropriate.
2008-07-23- I went over the curl_easy_setopt man page and replaced most references toDaniel Stenberg
non-zero with the fixed value of 1. We should strive at making options support '1' for enabling them mentioned explicitly, as that then will allow us for to extend them in the future without breaking older programs.
2008-07-10(Added in the section for CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, pointed out on theDaniel Stenberg
curl-library list on July 9th 2008 by Mathew Hounsell) NOTE: the name resolve functions of various libc implementations don't re-read name server information unless explicitly told so (by for example calling Ires_init(3). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue to the casual libcurl-app user.
2008-07-10updated to match current realityDaniel Stenberg
2008-07-08Fixed test 554 to pass the torture test.Dan Fandrich
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.
2008-06-30minor language fixDaniel Stenberg
2008-06-087.19.0 is nextDaniel Stenberg
2008-06-08the next release is now called 7.19.0Daniel Stenberg
2008-06-06- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, forDaniel Stenberg
OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06mention added in 7.18.3Daniel Stenberg
2008-06-06- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_CRLFILE, forDaniel Stenberg
OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06- Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP as a new information retrievable withDaniel Stenberg
curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-05-24Christopher Palow's multi interface docs updatesDaniel Stenberg
2008-05-24Nikolai Kondrashov provided a clarification for CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTIONDaniel Stenberg
2008-05-12- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to sendDaniel Stenberg
and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used.
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.
