Added --pubkey option to curl and made --key also work for SCP/SFTP, plus made --pass work on an SSH private key as well. 2007-03-23 13:59:40 -04:00			`Available command line options: 118`
- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent to the debug callback. - Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once. 2007-02-12 16:13:47 -05:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 141`

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:`
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code. 2006-10-21 07:32:05 -04:00
- Robert Iakobashvil added curl_multi_socket_action() to libcurl, which is a function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to curl_multi_socket*(). 2007-04-16 12:34:08 -04:00			`o Added curl_multi_socket_action()`
			`o Deprecated curl_multi_socket()`

update! 2007-04-12 17:53:18 -04:00			`o if2up too long interface name memory leak`
Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using for a host which was supposed not to exist. 2007-04-13 07:35:19 -04:00			`o test case 534 started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance of a`
			`new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using`
			`for a host which was supposed not to exist.`
Jay Austin added "DH PARAMETERS" to the stunnel.pem certificate 2007-04-16 07:55:43 -04:00			`o test suite SSL certificate works better with newer stunnel`
- Prevent the internal progress meter from updating more frequently than once per second. 2007-04-18 16:02:41 -04:00			`o internal progress meter update frequency back to once per second`
- Save one call to curlx_tvnow(), which calls gettimeofday(), in each of Curl_socket_ready(), Curl_poll() and Curl_select() when these are called with a zero timeout or a timeout value indicating a blocking call should be performed. These unnecessary calls to gettimeofday() got introduced in 7.16.2 when fixing 'timeout would restart when signal caught while awaiting socket events' on 20 March 2007. - Move some loop breaking logic from the while clause into the loop, avoiding compiler warning 'assignment within conditional expression' 2007-04-19 20:07:19 -04:00			`o avoid some unnecessary calls to function gettimeofday`
