- Added the --libcurl [file] option to curl. Append this option to any ordinary curl command line, and you will get a libcurl-using source code written to the file that does the equivalent operation of what your command line operation does! 2007-01-25 10:58:00 -05:00			`Available command line options: 115`

curl_multi_assign() and CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION proto change 2006-07-26 18:25:00 -04:00			`Number of public functions in libcurl: 54`
- David McCreedy provided libcurl changes for doing HTTP communication on non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more #ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can add it without the extra stuff added. 2007-01-14 09:57:51 -05:00			`Amount of public web site mirrors: 39`
7.16.0 material 2006-10-29 18:03:14 -05:00			`Number of known libcurl bindings: 35`
curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly 2007-01-28 07:58:13 -05:00			`Number of contributors: 539`
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
- Michael Wallner provided a patch that adds support for CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch. Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did *1000 on the timeout values on several places already. 2007-02-05 17:51:32 -05:00			`o Added CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS`

cookie expiry date in several test cases set to year 2030/2035 2007-02-04 21:43:21 -05:00			`o in testsuite, update test cookies expiration from 2007-Feb-1 to year 2035`
- Yang Tse fixed the cookie expiry date in several test cases that started to fail since they used "1 feb 2007"... - Manfred Schwarb reported that socks5 support was broken and help us pinpoint the problem. The code now tries harder to use httproxy and proxy where apppropriate, as not all proxies are HTTP... 2007-02-03 04:34:03 -05:00			`o socks5 works`
