2010-12-03version-check: added brief documentationDaniel Stenberg
and the traditional source header
2010-11-28atoi: remove atoi usageYang Tse
2010-11-19Added a couple examples that were missing from the tar ballDan Fandrich
2010-11-12curl.1: "a file", not anDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-12version-check.pl: display version number for symbolsDaniel Stenberg
This script is the start of a helper tool that scans a source code and outputs the most recent libcurl version it finds symbols for. Meaning that if there's no conditions in the code, that's the earliest libcurl version the scanned code requires. It is not added to the Makefile.am yet as it is still a bit crude, but I'm committing it to keep it and allow us to work on it.
2010-11-11HTTP Auth: Add CURLAUTH_ONLYDaniel Stenberg
This is a meta symbol. OR this value together with a single specific auth value to force libcurl to probe for un-restricted auth and if not, only that single auth algorithm is acceptable. For example you can use CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_ONLY to make libcurl first probe for what method to use, but yet only consider Digest to be acceptable. Using _only_ CURLAUTH_DIGEST without the CURLAUTH_ONLY field, will make libcurl explicitly use Digest right away and not do any probing.
2010-11-09symbols-in-version: add CURL_SOCKET_BADDaniel Stenberg
I also documented the filtering logic in the symbol-scan.pl function to clarify why not all CURL_* symbols are included.
2010-11-08curl.1: --resolve documentedDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-08CURLOPT_RESOLVE: documentedDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-08CURLOPT_USE_SSL: move from FTP options to connection optionsDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-07fix snapshot generationYang Tse
2010-11-04curl.1: added a few missing exit codesDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-04fopen.c: re-indented, fixed previous mistakeDaniel Stenberg
I've made the code intended using curl-style now to look more like other examples. My previous "fix" was a bit too invasive but is now fixed again.
2010-11-04multi use: call multi_perform even on select() timeoutsDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-04example: add smtp-multi.cDaniel Stenberg
An example application source code sending SMTP mail with the multi interface. It is based on the code Alona Rossen provided, which in turn is based on existing example/test code, and I converted it even more into a decent example with a fair multi API use, put the info required to edit at the top and I added some comments.
2010-11-04CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL: add blurb about SIGPIPEDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-03symbols-in-versions: added 119 missing symbolsDaniel Stenberg
I've developed a script I call symbol-scan.pl that scans the curl.h and multi.h header files and compare the symbols it finds in there with the symbols symbols-in-versions documents and outputs a report on the differences. Using this I've dug through the history to fill up symbols-in-versions with all the symbols my script found mismatches for. I will commit symbol-scan.pl separatly and think of a way to put it to use in the build/tests so that we from now on will get this in-sync check automatically.
2010-11-02symbols-in-versions: added missing symbolsDaniel Stenberg
2010-11-02spellfix: CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE it isDaniel Stenberg
2010-10-19curl_easy_setopt.3: spellfixDaniel Stenberg
2010-10-19curl_easy_setopt.3: CURLOPT_USE_SSL is not just for FTPDaniel Stenberg
It is for FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP at least.
2010-10-14curl_easy_setopt.3: clarify CURLOPT_CRLFDaniel Stenberg
The option takes a parameter that should be 1 or 0 to enable or disable the feature. URL: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3086428
2010-10-13THANKS: added contributors from 7.21.2Daniel Stenberg
2010-10-12Added section on server-supplied names to security considerationsDan Fandrich
2010-10-07libcurl.m4: AC_PATH_PROG fixesDan Locks
The invocation of autoconf's AC_PATH_PROG( ) is not quite right for finding curl-config. This fix corrects the negative case (where curl-config is not found).
2010-10-06FAQ: added "How do I submit my patch?"Daniel Stenberg
2010-10-05examples: use example.com in example URLsDaniel Stenberg
2010-10-04libcurl.m4: mention argument is PREFIXDaniel Stenberg
The macro provides a --with-libcurl option that expects a PREFIX to be specified and not actually a "directory" in which libcurl will be found. This now spells that out more clearly. Reported by: Dan Locks Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3079891
2010-10-01curl_easy_setopt.3: CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY implies dir listDaniel Stenberg
Make it explicit that setting CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY to 1 will make libcurl to list the directory.
2010-09-30multi & hiper examples: updates and cleanupsDirk Manske
all multi and hiper examples: * don't loop curl_multi_perform calls, that was <7.20.0 style, currently the exported multi functions will not return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all hiper examples: * renamed check_run_count to check_multi_info * don't compare current running handle count with previous value, this was the wrong way to check for finished requests, simply call curl_multi_info_read * it's also safe to call curl_multi_remove_handle inside the curl_multi_info_read loop. ghiper.c: * replaced curl_multi_socket (that function is marked as obsolete) calls with curl_multi_socket_action calls (as in hiperfifo.c and evhiperfifo.c) ghiper.c and evhiperfifo.c: * be smart as hiperfifo.c, don't do uncessary curl_multi_* calls in new_conn and main
2010-09-21duphandle: use ares_dup()Daniel Stenberg
curl_easy_duphandle() was not properly duping the ares channel. The ares_dup() function was introduced in c-ares 1.6.0 so by starting to use this function we also raise the bar and require c-ares >= 1.6.0 (released Dec 9, 2008) for such builds. Reported by: Ning Dong Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2010-08/0318.html
2010-09-20TODO: added 8.4 non-gcrypt under GnuTLSDaniel Stenberg
We must not assume gcrypt just because of GnuTLS
2010-09-15TheArtOfHttpScripting: use long optionsJames Bursa
2010-09-14getinmemory: make the example easier to followJames Bursa
1. Remove the comment warning that it's "not been verified to work". It works with no problems in my testing. 2. Remove 2 unnecessary includes. 3. Remove the myrealloc(). Initialize chunk.memory with malloc() instead of NULL. The comments for these two parts contradicted each other. 4. Handle out of memory from realloc() instead of continuing. 5. Print a brief status message at the end.
2010-09-09Mention the Debian Popularity ContestDan Fandrich
2010-09-09curl.1: updated protocols and polished languageDaniel Stenberg
2010-09-08FAQ: CURL_STATICLIB for visual studio usersDaniel Stenberg
Clarified as it isn't used with a -D option for them. Reported by: Artfunkel Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3060381
2010-09-07FAQ: updated and added host with custom IP questionDaniel Stenberg
Added "3.19 How do I get HTTP from a host using a specific IP address?" and updated some stuff about certs etc.
2010-08-28CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY: don't use with CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCHDaniel Stenberg
2010-08-28FAQ: update list of supported protocolsDaniel Stenberg
2010-08-28HISTORY: mention the gopher storyDaniel Stenberg
2010-08-25TODO: we now support RTMPDaniel Stenberg
2010-08-25TODO: done "NTLM with other crypto functions"Daniel Stenberg
Since NTLM was made to work with the NSS API as well, the primary SSL alternatives will be built with NTLM support in libcurl.
2010-08-25TODO: fixed "Make curl_multi_info_read faster"Daniel Stenberg
It is really fast now
2010-08-23Mention PolarSSL in tutorial & add some URLs to INSTALLDan Fandrich
2010-08-23RESUME_FROM: clarify what ftp uploads doDaniel Stenberg
The numerical value passed to CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM for FTP uploads is interpreted and used as position where to resume the _reading_ of the local file and it will "blindly" append that data on the remote file. This was certainly not clear in the docs previously. Reported by: catalin Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3048174
2010-08-18FAQ: update the list of supported protocolsDaniel Stenberg
2010-08-18FAQ: added blurb about ECCNDaniel Stenberg
"1.13 curl's ECCN number" is a new section mostly made up from Alessandro Vesely's very informative ML post on the subject: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-03/0251.html
2010-08-15THANKS: added contributors from 7.21.1Daniel Stenberg
