2010-01-01added CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRETDaniel Stenberg
2010-01-01- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. ThisDaniel Stenberg
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.

2009-06-10Adjusted to take in account that...Yang Tse
With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature, CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows: CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug) DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)

2009-05-11split off curl_multi_socket_action() into its own separate man page as this isDaniel Stenberg
the function we should use, while both curl_multi_socket() and curl_multi_socket_all() should be killed!
2009-05-11curl_multi_socket_action() is the one we favor!Daniel Stenberg

2009-04-28- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by TimDaniel Stenberg
Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a pipe. This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read from a stream!
2009-04-23CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE commands only run when no errorDaniel Stenberg
2009-04-18escape the ' properlyDaniel Stenberg
2009-04-17As Jeff Pohlmeyer suggested: "pointer to 'char *'" is now instead put:Daniel Stenberg
"pointer to a char pointer".
2009-04-07clarified after chat in #curlDaniel Stenberg
2009-04-06- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on successDaniel Stenberg
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes whenever we can think of them...
2009-03-20Gary Maxwell helped us clarify that CURLOPT_SHARE specificly needs the lockingDaniel Stenberg
functions if the easy handles are used in multiple threads
2009-03-18minor fixDaniel Stenberg
2009-03-05Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to coverDan Fandrich
more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using applications.
2009-03-02- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flawDaniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this new behavior: o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow them in your app if you really want that behavior. o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all protocols libcurl may have been built to support.
2009-02-23- After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() forDaniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.
2009-02-23mention default port numberDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-17three new CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR* symbolsDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-17- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 forDaniel Stenberg
plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled, as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can (should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY. Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.
2009-02-11- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know ifDaniel Stenberg
the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128)
2009-02-10completed the CURLPROXY_ collectionDaniel Stenberg
