2012-02-13s/7.24.1/7.25.0Daniel Stenberg
We will go straight to 7.25.0 due to the new additions
2012-02-09--ssl-allow-beast addedDaniel Stenberg
This new option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. It uses the new libcurl option CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS with the CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST bit set.
2012-02-09CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS: addedDaniel Stenberg
Allow an appliction to set libcurl specific SSL options. The first and only options supported right now is CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST. It will make libcurl to disable any work-arounds the underlying SSL library may have to address a known security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocol versions. This is a reaction to us unconditionally removing that behavior after this security advisory: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124B.html ... it did however cause a lot of programs to fail because of old servers not liking this work-around. Now programs can opt to decrease the security in order to interoperate with old servers better.
2012-02-09curl: use new library-side TCP_KEEPALIVE optionsDave Reisner
Use the new library CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than disabling this via the sockopt callback. If --keepalive-time is used, apply the value to CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL.
2012-02-09add library support for tuning TCP_KEEPALIVEDave Reisner
This adds three new options to control the behavior of TCP keepalives: - CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE: enable/disable probes - CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE: idle time before sending first probe - CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL: delay between successive probes While not all operating systems support the TCP_KEEPIDLE and TCP_KEEPINTVL knobs, the library will still allow these options to be set by clients, silently ignoring the values.

2012-01-19curl.1: improve --stderr wordingDaniel Stenberg
As is pointed out in this bug report, there can indeed be situation where --stderr has a point even when the "real" stderr can be redirected. Remove the superfluous and wrong comment. bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3476020

2012-01-04OpenSSL: remove reference to openssl internal structPeter Sylvester
With this change, curl compiles with the new OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN cflag. This flag might become the default in some distant future.

2011-12-30examples: add a couple of simple pop3s examplesAlessandro Ghedini
These examples show how to fetch a single message (RETR command) and how to list all the messages in a given mailbox (LIST command), with authentication via SSL. They were both based on the https.c example.

2011-12-23Require a less ancient version of perlColin Hogben
The INTERNALS document suggested that compatibility should be maintained with perl version 4, but this was untrue - scripts such as chksource.pl and runtests.pl use perl5-isms.

2011-12-20libcurl-multi.3: active FTP is no longer blocking!Daniel Stenberg
2011-12-20FTP: perform active connections non-blockingGokhan Sengun
1- Two new error codes are introduced. CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED to be set whenever ACCEPTing fails because of FTP server connected. CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT to be set whenever ACCEPTing timeouts. Neither of these errors are considered fatal and control connection remains OK because it could just be a firewall blocking server to connect to the client. 2- One new setopt option was introduced. CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS It sets the maximum amount of time FTP client is going to wait for a server to connect. Internal default accept timeout is 60 seconds.
2011-12-20libcurl.m4: Fix quoting arguments of AC_LANG_PROGRAMBernhard Reutner-Fischer
Parameters were underquoted, resulting in warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body Signed-off-by: Bernhard Reutner-Fischer <rep.dot.nop@gmail.com>
2011-12-20tutorial: remove CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM add sharingDaniel Stenberg
The CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM reference is an old leftover I had to remove. I also added some blurb to the previously blank "sharing" section.
2011-12-19curl.1: minor white space cleanupDaniel Stenberg
2011-12-19docs: improve description of the --capath optionAlessandro Ghedini
Document the possibility of providing multiple values using the ":" separator, and the fact that the default value will be ignored if the option is used.

2011-12-12CURLOPT_INTERFACE: avoid resolving interfaces namesJason Glasgow
Do not try to resolve interfaces names via DNS by recognizing interface names in a few ways. If the interface option argument has a prefix of "if!" then treat the argument as only an interface. Similarly, if the interface argument is the name of an interface (even if it does not have an IP address assigned), treat it as an interface name. Finally, if the interface argument is prefixed by "host!" treat it as a hostname that must be resolved by /etc/hosts or DNS. These changes allow a client using the multi interfaces to avoid blocking on name resolution if the interface loses its IP address or disappears.
2011-12-07FAQ: add --resolve details to question 3.19Daniel Stenberg
2011-12-06Added some include files in a couple of example programsDan Fandrich
This improves portability of the examples. This patch was submitted to the OpenBSD ports collection by naddy.
2011-12-05CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT: default is 300 secondsDaniel Stenberg
If the option is set to 0, the default timeout will be used - which in modern libcurl versions equals 300 seconds (== 5 minutes). Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-12/0051.html Reported by: Vladimir Grishchenko
2011-12-05progress function example: include timed intervalRob Ward
Adds a timer based off of CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME that is used to perform certain actions after a minimum amount of time has passed using the progress function. As a consequence the curl handle is now also passed into the progress function. Progress example now also includes an example of how to retreive the TOTAL_TIME and print it out.
2011-12-05FTP: call opensocket callback properlyDaniel Stenberg
When the new socket is created for an active connection, it is now done using the open socket callback. Test case 596 was modified to run fine, although it hides the fact that the close callback is still called too many times, as it also gets called for closing sockets that were created with accept().
2011-11-24symbols.pl: provide LIBCURL_HAS macro for appsDaniel Stenberg
Experience has shown that the symbols-in-versions file is very useful to applications that want to build with a wide range of libcurl versions. It is however easy to get it wrong and the source gets a bit messy with all the fixed numerical comparisions. The point of this script is to provide an easy-to-use macro for libcurl- using applications to do preprocessor checks for specific libcurl defines, and yet make the code clearly show what the macro is used for.
2011-11-18CURLOPT_QUOTE: SFTP supports the '*'-prefix nowDaniel Stenberg
2011-11-18SFTP: support '*' prefix for quote operationsJonas Schnelli
prefixing a command with '*' means it is allowed to fail without aborting the chain actions

Try to be a little more descriptive about the effect of this flag, rather than parroting what was said in the paragraph just above.
