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`

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
Michael Wallner added curl_formget(), which allows an application to extract (serialise) a previously built formpost (as with curl_formadd()). 2006-06-24 17:46:41 -04:00			`o added curl_formget()`
Peter Silva introduced CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's option --limit-rate to the library. The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d and -F, which it didn't before. 2006-06-22 17:36:53 -04:00			`o added CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE`

			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

David McCreedy fixed a flaw where the CRLF counter wasn't properly cleared for FTP ASCII transfers. 2006-07-14 14:58:42 -04:00			`o FTP ASCII CRLF counter reset`
Ates Goral pointed out that libcurl's cookie parser did case insensitive string comparisons on the path which is incorrect and provided a patch that fixes this. I edited test case 8 to include details that test for this. 2006-07-08 14:52:08 -04:00			`o cookie parser now compares paths case sensitive`
Ingmar Runge provided a source snippet that caused a crash. The reason for the crash was that libcurl internally was a bit confused about who owned the DNS cache at all times so if you created an easy handle that uses a shared DNS cache and added that to a multi handle it would crash. Now we keep more careful internal track of exactly what kind of DNS cache each easy handle uses: None, Private (allocated for and used only by this single handle), Shared (points to a cache held by a shared object), Global (points to the global cache) or Multi (points to the cache within the multi handle that is automatically shared between all easy handles that are added with private caches). 2006-07-07 18:58:06 -04:00			`o an easy handle with shared DNS cache added to a multi handle caused a crash`
Toshiyuki Maezawa fixed a problem where you couldn't override the Proxy-Connection: header when using a proxy and not doing CONNECT. 2006-07-04 08:01:59 -04:00			`o couldn't override the Proxy-Connection: header for non-CONNECT requests`
