2007-10-04The new file docs/libcurl/ABI describes how we view ABI breakages, sonameDaniel Stenberg
bumps and what the version number's significance to all that is.
2007-10-03people from the 7.17.0 announcementDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-03I renamed the CURLE_SSL_PEER_CERTIFICATE error code toDaniel Stenberg
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (standard CURL_NO_OLDIES style), and made this return code get used by the previous SSH MD5 fingerprint check in case it fails.
2007-10-03Based on a patch brought by Johnny Luong, libcurl now offersDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.
2007-10-02known bug #46: chunked-encoded CONNECT responses from a http proxy now works.Daniel Stenberg
Added test case 1008 to verify. Note that #47 is still there.
2007-10-02document --post301, based on the phrasing in curl_easy_setopt.3 forDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_POST301 written by Philip Langdale
2007-10-02CURLOPT_POST301 section, added by Philip LangdaleDaniel Stenberg
2007-09-25a new Lua binding and I shortened the wording on several bindings by cuttingDaniel Stenberg
out "written"
2007-09-24Immanuel Gregoire fixed KNOWN_BUGS #44: --ftp-method nocwd did not handleDaniel Stenberg
URLs ending with a slash properly (it should list the contents of that directory). Test case 351 brought back and also test 1010 was added.
2007-09-24Bad use of "its" replaceed with a rephrase. I noticed this flaw thanks to theDaniel Stenberg
Debian bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=443734
2007-09-21--proxy-negotiate is added in 7.17.1Daniel Stenberg
2007-09-21Mark Davies fixed Negotiate authentication over proxy, and also introducedDaniel Stenberg
the --proxy-negotiate command line option to allow a user to explicitly select it.
2007-09-20reformatted to be similar to the FAQ to make it look nicer on the site:Daniel Stenberg

2007-09-20Achint Mehta pointed out this dead linkDaniel Stenberg
2007-09-20the winsock stuff is made by curl_global_initDaniel Stenberg
2007-09-20fix bad linkDaniel Stenberg
2007-09-18Rob Crittenden provided an NSS update with the following highlights:Daniel Stenberg
o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR, then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of those exist. o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only certificates already in the NSS database are used. o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right thing is done o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module, including displaying the certificate information when connecting in verbose mode o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc) The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora 8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and keys.
2007-09-18mention the prefered source code line length to be less than 80 columnsDaniel Stenberg

2007-09-13Remove remaining traces of ftp3rdparty.c and mention htmltidy.cDan Fandrich
2007-09-13added some further stuff from the feature-requests tracker, and a bunch of URLsDaniel Stenberg
to the specific tracker entries
2007-09-09A brand new binding for SP-Forth was writtenDaniel Stenberg
2007-09-06two new CONNECT response problems that have appearedDaniel Stenberg
2007-09-05Minor updatesDan Fandrich
2007-09-03added some comments for MingW32 builds.Gunter Knauf
2007-09-01bash is not required when compiling under MinixDan Fandrich
2007-08-31Renamed the CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED error code to CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED.Dan Fandrich
Renamed the curl_ftpssl enum to curl_usessl and its enumerated constants, creating macros for backward compatibility.
2007-08-30Renamed several libcurl error codes and options to make them more generalDan Fandrich
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary) compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined. Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
2007-08-23Mention OS/400 and TPFDan Fandrich
2007-08-23--libcurl does not support -FDaniel Stenberg

2007-08-17 NEXT soname bumpDaniel Stenberg
* #undef CURL_FTP_HTTPSTYLE_HEAD in lib/ftp.c to remove the HTTP-style headers from being output in NOBODY requests over ftp
2007-08-14LDAP is no longer excluded on Minix.Dan Fandrich
2007-08-14updated NetWare docu about recent LDAP changes.Gunter Knauf
2007-08-14the curl_multi_handle_control() ideaDaniel Stenberg
2007-08-11Patrick Monnerat modified the LDAP code and approach in curl. Starting now,Daniel Stenberg
the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix) just before this commit, just in case.
2007-08-07Usage of the BCURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION callback is not recommended when usingDaniel Stenberg
the multi interface, but having the comment in here caused more questions than we fixed problems so I remove it now. It still works fine.
2007-08-07add URL to more "generated public config.h" detailsDaniel Stenberg
2007-08-06Peteris Krumins pointed out that MingW32 doesnt provide a batch file to set ↵Gunter Knauf

2007-08-06ontributors from the 7.16.4 release notes and a removed duplicateDaniel Stenberg
2007-08-06removed the rsaglue hint since it doesn't apply to modern OpenSSL, and addedDaniel Stenberg
some brief hints about gssapi and libssh2
2007-08-06we now support GSS/Kerberos 5 for ftp file transfers!Daniel Stenberg
2007-08-03Peteris Krumins pointed out some MingW32 related build issues.Gunter Knauf
2007-08-02clarify that setting POSTFIELDS to NULL or "" is not enough to make a zero byteDaniel Stenberg
POST
2007-08-01Patrick Monnerat and I modified libcurl so that now it *copies* all stringsDaniel Stenberg
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given strings and keep private copies.
2007-07-30users should use the CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION rather than curl_multi_timeoutDaniel Stenberg
when using the socket API
2007-07-30less blocking these daysDaniel Stenberg
