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.
2007-07-30users should use the CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION rather than curl_multi_timeoutDaniel Stenberg
when using the socket API
2007-07-30less blocking these daysDaniel Stenberg
2007-07-30updated based on suggestion from Jeff PohlmeyerDaniel Stenberg
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
2007-07-13Daniel Cater: libcurl-errors needs updating to reflect a couple of deprecatedDaniel Stenberg
error codes
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.
2007-05-26Clarify a bit about the fact that easy handles remain in the multi stack whenDaniel Stenberg
transfers are done and need to be removed and closed or re-added.
2007-05-26make it a WARNING since this hits people hard in their facesDaniel Stenberg
2007-05-23TFTP transfers are also blockingDaniel Stenberg
2007-05-23fix the formatting of the trailing listDaniel Stenberg
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
2007-04-16- Robert Iakobashvil added curl_multi_socket_action() to libcurl, which is aDaniel Stenberg
function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to curl_multi_socket*().
2007-03-31add units to a few infoDaniel 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
2007-02-27Somewhat updated, changes include: I tried to be more agnostic about theDaniel Stenberg
specific SSL library that might be used, and I cut out the closepolicy stuff that we no longer support
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
2007-02-19Ian Turner fixed the libcurl.m4 macro's support for --with-libcurl.Daniel Stenberg
AC_PATH_PROG was not used properly.
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.
2007-02-03some additional infoDaniel Stenberg
2007-01-17clarify the INFILESIZE option(s)Daniel Stenberg
2007-01-09corrected exampleDaniel Stenberg
2007-01-05- Linus Nielsen Feltzing introduced the --ftp-ssl-ccc command line option toDaniel Stenberg
curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a FTP-SSL operation.
2006-12-31curl_easy_cleanup kills this memory tooDaniel Stenberg
2006-12-21CURLOPT_CAPATH is OpenSSL-onlyDaniel Stenberg
2006-12-05Sh Diao reported that CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY doesn't work, and indeed, there isDaniel Stenberg
no code present in the library that receives the option. Since it was not possible to use, we know that no current users exist and thus we simply removed it from the docs and made the code always use the default path of the code.
2006-11-02mention the new optionsDaniel Stenberg
2006-11-02James Housley brought support for SCP transfersDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-25Fixed CURLOPT_FAILONERROR to return CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR even for theDaniel Stenberg
case when 401 or 407 are returned, *IF* no auth credentials have been given. The CURLOPT_FAILONERROR option is not possible to make fool-proof for 401 and 407 cases when auth credentials is given, but we've now covered this somewhat more. You might get some amounts of headers transferred before this situation is detected, like for when a "100-continue" is received as a response to a POST/PUT and a 401 or 407 is received immediately afterwards. Added test 281 to verify this change.
2006-10-21Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems withDaniel Stenberg
reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.
