From 4b6d3a2bfdb46fd6a698b9218bbceea4ce865ac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:13:00 +0000 Subject: - Eric Wong's patch: This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a request is still being read, of course. If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender. This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin (and thus sending) is paused. --- CHANGES | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) (limited to 'CHANGES') diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index be16f61da..852d16da4 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -6,6 +6,21 @@ Changelog +Daniel Stenberg (15 Jun 2009) +- Eric Wong's patch: + + This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream + protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and + HTTP response.
