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`
Karl M added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options that an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at all after the connect is done. 2006-02-11 17:35:16 -05:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 129`
with all external functions marked with CURL_EXTERN it is easy to count them and... yes, they are 46! 2004-11-09 09:42:04 -05:00			`Number of public functions in libcurl: 46`

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
David McCreedy added CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH to export the FTP entry path 2006-03-21 17:30:03 -05:00			`o added CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH`
Xavier Bouchoux made the SSL connection non-blocking for the multi interface (when using OpenSSL). 2006-03-21 16:54:44 -05:00			`o less blocking for the multi interface during SSL connect negotiation`

			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

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`
