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.
2008-04-10mention what happens to the data when a write callback returns pauseDaniel Stenberg
2008-04-10clarify the COOKIE option a bitDaniel Stenberg
2008-04-09"tag" the function referals properlyDaniel Stenberg
2008-03-31- Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow anDaniel Stenberg
application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case 554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
2008-03-25spell it out loudly and clearly that CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION is onlyDaniel Stenberg
functional if libcurl is built against OpenSSL
2008-03-11Recommend passing a 1 as parameter to CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT rather thanDaniel Stenberg
a "dummy" just to get things as fixed as possible in case we ever get the urge to change this to actually mean something.
2008-03-11- Added a type checking macro for curl_easy_setopt(), needs gcc-4.3 and onlyMichal Marek
works in C mode atm (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0267.html , http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0292.html )
2008-03-06spellcheckedDaniel Stenberg
2008-03-06curl_multi_timeout() is really not recommended with curl_multi_socket()-basedDaniel Stenberg
usage
2008-02-19applied patch to disable SSLv2 by default; discussion:Gunter Knauf
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1767276&group_id=976&atid=350976 Submitted by Kaspar Brand.
2008-02-03it is stable now...Daniel Stenberg
2008-01-11Daniel Egger made CURLOPT_RANGE work on file:// URLs the very same way itDaniel Stenberg
already worked for FTP:// URLs
2008-01-10Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allowDaniel Stenberg
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
2008-01-08Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the readDaniel Stenberg
and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or writing get paused.
2008-01-05Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5Daniel Stenberg
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new curl_easy_setopt() option. The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
2008-01-04Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let theDaniel Stenberg
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
2008-01-02Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies, whichDaniel Stenberg
is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5). --socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
2007-12-11clarify that the CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION callback can pass in 0 and -1 as legalDaniel Stenberg
values and what they mean
2007-12-08mention how to enable chunked encoding for POSTsDaniel Stenberg
2007-12-06clarify that when curl_multi_timeout() returns -1 it just means that thereDaniel Stenberg
is no current timeout. It does not mean wait forever and it does not mean do not wait at all. It means there is no timeout value known at this point in time.
2007-12-02Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to controlDaniel Stenberg
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers better with the appending done!
2007-11-20clarify somewhat what happens to some data when a share is set to be usedDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-15Mention first version with CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS.Dan Fandrich
Don't confuse NUL with NULL.
2007-10-15Fix dynamic CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS bug: back to static.Patrick Monnerat
CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS option added for dynamic. Fix some OS400 features.
2007-10-09Add a paragraph about CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST not actually changing libcurl'sDaniel Stenberg
behavior, it only changes the actual request method keyword and this is not always what the user/app wants.
