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`

			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Paul Querna fixed libcurl to better deal with deflate content encoding when the stream (wrongly) lacks a proper zlib header. This seems to be the case on too many actual server implementations. 2006-04-25 16:49:40 -04:00			`o deflate code survives lack of zlib header`
Ale Vesely fixed CURLOPT_INTERFACE when using a hostname 2006-04-21 09:46:19 -04:00			`o CURLOPT_INTERFACE works with hostname`
			`o configure runs fine with ICC`
Robson Braga Araujo provided a patch that makes libcurl less eager to close the control connection when using FTP, for example when you remove an easy handle from a multi stack. 2006-04-18 19:14:30 -04:00			`o closed control connection with FTP when easy handle was removed from multi`
#1468330 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1468330) pointed out a bad typecast in the curl tool leading to a crash with (64bit?) VS2005 (at least) since the struct timeval field tv_sec is an int while time_t is 64bit. 2006-04-11 06:49:51 -04:00			`o curl --trace crash when built with VS2005`
mention recent additions 2006-04-10 17:57:45 -04:00			`o SSL connect time-out`
Ale Vesely fixed CURLOPT_INTERFACE when using a hostname 2006-04-21 09:46:19 -04:00			`o improved NTLM functionality`
#1451929 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1451929) detailed a bug that occurred when asking libcurl to follow HTTP redirects and the original URL had more than one question mark (?). Added test case 276 to verify. 2006-03-28 03:03:25 -05:00			`o following redirects with more than one question mark in source URL`
David Byron found a problem multiple -d options when libcurl was built with --enable-debug, as then curl used free() on memory allocated both with normal malloc() and with libcurl-provided functions, when the latter MUST be freed with curl_free() in debug builds. 2006-03-27 16:59:40 -05:00			`o fixed debug build crash with -d`
Tor Arntsen figured out that TFTP was broken on a lot of systems since we called bind() with a too big argument in the 3rd parameter and at least Tru64, AIX and IRIX seem to be very picky about it. 2006-03-26 03:52:43 -05:00			`o TFTP works on more systems`
Tor Arntsen fixed the AIX Toolbox RPM spec 2006-03-21 08:34:41 -05:00			`o generates a fine AIX Toolbox RPM spec`
David McCreedy fixed libcurl to no longer ignore AUTH failures and now it reacts properly according to the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL setting. 2006-03-20 17:51:08 -05:00			`o treat FTP AUTH failures properly`
mention today's fixes 2006-03-20 17:25:14 -05:00			`o TFTP transfers could trash data`
			`o -d + -G combo crash`
