- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used. 2008-05-12 17:43:24 -04:00			`Public functions in libcurl: 58`

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
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer. 2006-08-08 18:56:46 -04:00			`This release includes the following changes:`

http_ntlm: add support for NSS When configured with '--without-ssl --with-nss', NTLM authentication now uses NSS crypto library for MD5 and DES. For MD4 we have a local implementation in that case. More details are available at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/603783 In order to get it working, curl_global_init() must be called with CURL_GLOBAL_SSL or CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. That's necessary because NSS needs to be initialized globally and we do so only when the NSS library is actually required by protocol. The mentioned call of curl_global_init() is responsible for creating of the initialization mutex. There was also slightly changed the NSS initialization scenario, in particular, loading of the NSS PEM module. It used to be loaded always right after the NSS library was initialized. Now the library is initialized as soon as any SSL or NTLM is required, while the PEM module is prevented from being loaded until the SSL is actually required. 2010-06-26 21:38:01 -04:00			`o added support for NTLM authentication when compiled with NSS`

glob: backslash escaping bug curl didn't properly handle escaping characters in a URL with the use of backslash. It did an attempt, but that failed as reported in bug 3022551. The described example was using the URL "http://example.com?{AB,C\,D}". I've now removed the special-handling of letters following the backslash and I also removed the bad extra check that triggered this particular bug.
