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.

2013-04-27DOCS: Updated following the addition of CURLOPT_SASL_IRSteve Holme
Documented the the option in curl_easy_setopt() and added it to symbols-in-versions.

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.

2013-03-13Multiple pipelines and limiting the number of connections.Linus Nielsen Feltzing
Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new connections and the potential pipelining latency. Two new options for limiting the number of connections: CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit, that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is finished, so we can reuse the connection. CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit, that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or closed if the pending handle can't reuse it. Several new options for pipelining: CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it. If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is ready (either free or a pipe got shorter). CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content length that is larger than this. CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this. CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow pipelining. CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow pipelining. See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.
2013-03-12curl_global_init: accept the CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR flagZdenek Pavlas
The flag can be used in pycurl-based applications where using the multi interface would not be acceptable because of the performance lost caused by implementing the select() loop in python. Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1168 Downstream Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/919127
2013-03-07DOCS: Corrected the IMAP URL grammar of the UIDVALIDITY parameterSteve Holme
2013-03-07DOCS: Added the list command to the IMAP URL sectionSteve Holme
Added examples of the list command and clarified existing example URLs following recent changes.
2013-02-26DOCS: Added the IMAP UIDVALIDITY property to the CURLOPT_URL sectionSteve Holme
2013-02-25DOCS: Corrected IMAP URL examples according to RFC5092Steve Holme
URL examples that included the UID weren't technically correct although would pass the curl parser.
2013-02-24DOCS: Corrected layout of POP3 and IMAP URL examplesSteve Holme
Corrected layout issues with the POP3 and IMAP URL examples introduced in commit cb3ae6894fb2.
2013-02-23DOCS: Updated CURLOPT_URL section following recent POP3 and IMAP changesSteve Holme
Updated the POP3 sub-section to refer to message ID rather than mailbox. Added an IMAP sub-section with example URLs depicting the specification of mailbox, uid and section.
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().
2013-02-22libcurl documentation: updates HTML indexAlexander Klauer
* Adds several links to documentation of library functions which were missing. * Marks documentation of deprecated library functions "(deprecated)". * Removes spurious .html suffixes.
2013-02-18docs: schannel and darwinssl documentation improvementsNick Zitzmann
Schannel and darwinssl use the certificates built into the OS to do vert verification instead of bundles. darwinssl is thread-safe. Corrected typos in the NSS docs.

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/
2012-10-09curl_multi_wait: no wait if no descriptors to wait forDaniel Stenberg
This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for that specified time.

Minor change to recently introduced function. BC breaking, but since curl_multi_wait() doesn't exist in any releases that should be fine.
