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.
2007-02-10file:// transfers are blockingDaniel Stenberg
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.
2006-10-12clarify moreDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-12Starting now, adding an easy handle to a multi stack that was already addedDaniel Stenberg
to a multi stack will cause CURLM_BAD_EASY_HANDLE to get returned.
2006-10-12Jeff Pohlmeyer has been working with the hiperfifo.c example source code,Daniel Stenberg
and while doing so it became apparent that the current timeout system for the socket API really was a bit awkward since it become quite some work to be sure we have the correct timeout set. Jeff then provided the new CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION that is yet another callback the app can set to get to know when the general timeout time changes and thus for an application like hiperfifo.c it makes everything a lot easier and nicer. There's a CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA option too of course in good old libcurl tradition.
2006-10-08clarified moreDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-30Support for FTP third party transfers is now droppedDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-27added more explanationsDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-26Armel Asselin's fix for the RESUME_FROM docuDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-21Extended the explanation for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM somewhat.Daniel Stenberg
2006-09-11- Fixed my breakage from earlier today so that doing curl_easy_cleanup() on aDaniel Stenberg
handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the stack. - Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out there that misbehave with session-IDs used.
2006-09-08Mention that CURLOPT_MAX_RECV/SEND* were added in 7.15.5Daniel Stenberg
2006-09-07Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and shared connectionDaniel Stenberg
cache within the multi handle.
2006-09-03Mohun Biswas' improvements and clarifications about the options and how to useDaniel Stenberg
them.
2006-08-29David McCreedy added CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA toDaniel Stenberg
allow applications to set their own socket options.
2006-08-23clarify the string syntax support in the CURLOPT_PROXY sectionDaniel Stenberg
2006-08-09option name spell fixDaniel Stenberg
2006-08-08Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even whenDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer.

2006-07-26[Hiper-related work] Added a function called curl_multi_assign() that willDaniel Stenberg
set a private pointer added to the internal libcurl hash table for the particular socket passed in to this function.
2006-07-25Dan Nelson added the CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER libcurl option and curlDaniel Stenberg
tool option named --ftp-alternative-to-user. It provides a mean to send a particular command if the normal USER/PASS approach fails.
