Peter Su added support for SOCKS4 proxies. Enable this by setting the proxy type to the already provided type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4. I added a --socks4 option that works like the current --socks5 option but instead use the socks4 protocol. 2006-02-21 02:46:41 -05:00			`Available command line options: 112`
Karl M added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options that an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at all after the connect is done. 2006-02-11 17:35:16 -05:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 129`
with all external functions marked with CURL_EXTERN it is easy to count them and... yes, they are 46! 2004-11-09 09:42:04 -05:00			`Number of public functions in libcurl: 46`

Prevent uploading to a URL that has no file name part. 2006-03-03 08:09:30 -05:00			`Number of contributors: 487`
David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this. 2003-10-29 04:53:21 -05:00

Adrian Schuur added trailer support in the chunked encoding stream. The trailer is then sent to the normal header callback/stream. 2005-07-12 14:15:34 -04:00

			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Markus Koetter filed debian bug report #355715 which identified a problem with the multi interface and multi-part formposts. The fix from February 22nd could make the Curl_done() function get called twice on the same connection and it was not designed for that and thus tried to call free() on an already freed memory area! 2006-03-07 18:11:41 -05:00			`o multi-part formpost with multi interface crash`
Peter Heuchert made sure the CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL setting for CURLOPT_FTP_SSL is used properly. 2006-03-07 17:28:08 -05:00			`o the CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL setting for CURLOPT_FTP_SSL is acknowledged`
Lots of users on Windows have reported getting the "SSL: couldn't set callback" error message so I've now made the setting of that callback not be as critical as before. The function is only used for additional loggging/ trace anyway so a failure just means slightly less data. It should still be able to proceed and connect fine to the server. 2006-03-06 17:35:51 -05:00			`o "SSL: couldn't set callback" is now a less serious problem`
build fix for Interix 2006-03-04 17:39:31 -05:00			`o Interix build fix`
mention Dan F's out-of-file handles fix from the other day 2006-03-02 06:41:23 -05:00			`o fixed "hang" when out of file handles at start`
