David McCreedy added --ftp-ssl-reqd which makes curl require SSL for both control and data connection, as the existing --ftp-ssl option only requests it. 2006-07-26 19:20:47 -04:00			`Available command line options: 114`
Dan Nelson added the CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER libcurl option and curl tool option named --ftp-alternative-to-user. It provides a mean to send a particular command if the normal USER/PASS approach fails. 2006-07-25 18:45:21 -04:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 133`

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:`

Based on a patch by Armel Asselin, the FTP code no longer re-issues the TYPE command on subsequent requests on a re-used connection unless it has to. 2006-08-19 17:18:36 -04:00			`o (FTP) libcurl avoids sending TYPE if the desired type was already set`

working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes 2003-09-22 17:38:52 -04:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Peter Sylvester pointed out a flaw in the AllowServerConnect() in the FTP code when doing pure ipv6 EPRT connections. 2006-08-22 17:21:01 -04:00			`p (FTP) EPRT transfers with IPv6 didn't work properly`

			`o (HTTP) Expect: header disabling work better`
			`o (HTTP) "Expect: 100-continue" disable on second POST on re-used connection`
Fixed a flaw in the "Expect: 100-continue" treatment. If you did two POSTs on a persistent connection and allowed the first to use that header, you could not disable it for the second request. 2006-08-08 17:12:49 -04:00			`o src/config.h.in is fixed`
