2008-09-05- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renamesDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
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!

2008-08-2458. It seems sensible to be able to use CURLOPT_NOBODY andDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_FAILONERROR with FTP to detect if a file exists or not, but it is not working: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-07/0295.html
2008-08-2157. On VMS-Alpha: When using an http-file-upload the file is not sent to theDaniel Stenberg
Server with the correct content-length. Sending a file with 511 or less bytes, content-length 512 is used. Sending a file with 513 - 1023 bytes, content-length 1024 is used. Files with a length of a multiple of 512 Bytes show the correct content-length. Only these files work for upload. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2057858

2008-08-13httpcustomheader.c is a new tiny example showing a HTTP request with a customDaniel Stenberg
header replacing an internal one
2008-08-07Initial support of curlbuild.h and curlrules.h which allowsYang Tse
to have a curl_off_t data type no longer gated to off_t.
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!
2008-08-01Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn'tDan Fandrich
support this so it goes untested.
2008-08-01User names embedded in proxy URLs without a password were parsedDan Fandrich
incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279 (was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
2008-07-31Fixed parsing of an IPv6 proxy address to support a scope identifier,Dan Fandrich
as well as IPv4 addresses in IPv6 format. Also, better handle the case of a malformatted IPv6 address (avoid empty and NULL strings).
2008-07-30Added IPv6 sectionDan Fandrich
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]/"
2008-07-30- Made the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variableDaniel Stenberg
2008-07-2956. When libcurl sends CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE commands when connected to a SFTPDaniel Stenberg
server using the multi interface, the commands are not being sent correctly and instead the connection is "cancelled" (the operation is considered done) prematurely. There is a half-baked (busy-looping) patch provided in the bug report but it cannot be accepted as-is. See http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2006544
2008-07-29Document that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is the preferred way to configure withDan Fandrich
OpenSSL.
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.
2008-07-23Simplified Minix compile instructions and added some special cases.Dan Fandrich

2008-07-14HTTP_ONLY definition check in lib/setup.h is now done once that configurationYang Tse
file has been included. In this way if symbol is defined in the config file it will no longer be ignored.
2008-07-11document the exit codes 82 and 83 that are new in 7.19.0Daniel Stenberg
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.

2008-07-03Introcuding 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.

2008-06-08the next release is now called 7.19.0Daniel Stenberg
2008-06-08- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!Daniel Stenberg
All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions, now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable verbose mode you use --no-verbose! - Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o - or --no-remote-name.
2008-06-06- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, forDaniel Stenberg

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.
