--form-string 2005-03-12 14:49:55 -05:00			`Available command line options: 105`
Ian Ford asked about support for the FTP command ACCT, and I discovered it is present in RFC959... so now (lib)curl supports it as well. --ftp-account and CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT set the account string. (The server may ask for an account string after PASS have been sent away. The client responds with "ACCT [account string]".) Added test case 228 and 229 to verify the functionality. Updated the test FTP server to support ACCT somewhat. 2005-01-25 17:13:12 -05:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 122`
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`

found a common lisp binding 2005-03-12 17:55:57 -05:00			`Number of known libcurl bindings: 31`
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

Dominick Meglio reported that using CURLOPT_FILETIME when transferring a FTP file got a Last-Modified: header written to the data stream, corrupting the actual data. This was because some conditions from the previous FTP code was not properly brought into the new FTP code. I fixed and I added test case 520 to verify. (This bug was introduced in 7.13.1) 2005-03-08 03:09:14 -05:00			`o CURLOPT_FILETIME when downloading FTP corrupted data`
Added test case 235 that makes a resumed upload of a file that isn't present on the remote side. This then converts the operation to an ordinary STOR upload. This was requested/pointed out by Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams. It also proved (and I fixed) a bug in the newly rewritten ftp code (and present in the 7.13.1 release) when trying to resume an upload and the servers returns an error to the SIZE command. libcurl then loops and sends SIZE commands infinitely. 2005-03-04 18:52:06 -05:00			`o FTP upload resume now works even if no file is present on the site`
