BLANK_AT_MAKETIME may be used in our Makefile.am files to blank
LIBS variable used in generated makefile at makefile processing
time. Doing this functionally prevents LIBS from being used for
all link targets in given makefile.
Blocking connect on the socket has been removed from opensocket
callback. opensocket just opens a new socket and gives it back to
libcurl and libcurl will take care of the connect. sockopt_callback has
also been removed, as it is no longer required.
After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source
codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and
will make libcurl return error for it.
1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced
back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly
this way.
1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup
makes the treatment of it unified.
The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and
while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has
decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so
they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this
particular option. I sympathize with that position.

Since automake 1.12.4, the warnings are issued on running automake:
warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Avoid INCLUDES and roll these flags into AM_CPPFLAGS.
Compile tested on:
Ubuntu 10.04 (automake 1:1.11.1-1)
Ubuntu 12.04 (automake 1:1.11.3-1ubuntu2)
Arch Linux (automake 1.12.4)
The URL we used before is the one that goes directly to 'add' a bug

This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark
Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally
call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for
that specified time.

The test would hang and get aborted with a "ABORTING TEST, since it
seems that it would have run forever." until I prevented that from
happening.
I also fixed the data file which got broken CRLF line endings when I
sucked down the path from Joe's repo == my fault.
Removed #37 from KNOWN_BUGS as this fix and test case verifies exactly
this.
"Currently you can only share DNS and/or COOKIE data" is incorrect since
also SSL sessions can be shared.

It's conceivable that after the first time curl_multi_perform returns,
the outvalue still_running will be 0, but work will have been done. This
is shown by a workload of small, purely file:// based URLs. Ensure that
we always read pending messages off the multi handle by forcing the
while loop to run at least once.
Removed APOP and SASL authentication from the POP3 section and metalink
support from the client section as these features were implemented in
this release.
Moved adding gssapi to SASL into it's own section rather than repeat it
for each protocol.
Documented that --include will be ignored if both --metalink
and --include are specified.
Also documented that a Metalink file in the local file system
cannot be used if FILE protocol is disabled.
Version number is removed in order to make this info consistent with
how we do it with other MS and Linux system libraries for which we don't
provide this info.
Identifier changed from 'WinSSPI' to 'schannel' given that this is the
actual provider of the SSL/TLS support. libcurl can still be built with
SSPI and without SCHANNEL support.
- For all *FUNCTION options, they now all show the complete prototype in
the description. Previously some of them would just refer to a
typedef'ed function pointer in the curl.h header.
- I made the phrasing of that "Pass a pointer to a function that matches
the following prototype" the same for all *FUNCTION option descriptions.
- I removed some uses of 'should'. I think I sometimes over-use this
word as in many places I actually mean MUST or otherwise more specific
and not-so-optional synonyms.
Added new sections 11. IMAP and 12. LDAP to document adding SASL based
authentication.
Renumbered current sections 11 to 17 as 13 to 19.
Additionally added 19.10 Add CURLOPT_MAIL_CLIENT option.
Setting bit 2 for this value was documented as having a constant value
defined as CURL_REDIR_POST_303 yet referenced a 302 request.
Additionally corrected the meaning of CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL for all three
bits and fixed problems with the bolding of keywords in this section.
Standardised how RFCs are referenced so that the website may autolink to
the correct documentation on ietf.org. Additionally removed the one link
to RFC3986 on curl.haxx.se.
The curl-config command must be used twice in the single command line to
work properly in some environments.

BUILDING_LIBCURL and CURL_STATICLIB are no longer defined in curl_config.h,
configure will generate appropriate conditionals so that mentioned symbols
get defined and used in Makefiles at compilation time
Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
By modifying the parameter list for ourWriteOut() and passing the
OutStruct that collects data in tool_operate, we get access to the
remote name that we're writing to. Shell scripters should find this
useful when used in conjuntion with the --remote-header-name option.
If an empty string is passed to CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE, libcurl will
pass no public key to libssh2 which then tries to compute it from the
private key. This is known to work when libssh2 1.4.0+ is linked against
OpenSSL.
Original wording could lead users in thinking it tries to
somehow parse the filename for a date expression (like
news_2012_03_05.html). It never mentions that it actually
reads the mtime of the file in filesystem.
Set the conn->data->info.httpcode variable in smtp_statemach_act() to
allow Curl_getinfo() to return the SMTP response code via the
CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE action.
Added information relating to the new CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH parameter and
reworked CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM and CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT to be a clearer.
Fixed inconsistencies of "vocalisation of the abbreviation" versus
"vocalisation of the first word" for all abbreviations.
Corrected a typo in CURLOPT_NOPROXY.
Modify configure.ac to test for new CyaSSL Init function and remove
default install path to system. Change to CyaSSL OpenSSL header and
proper Init in code as well.
Note that this no longer detects or works with CyaSSL before v2
This new option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the
SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. It uses the new libcurl option
CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS with the CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST bit set.
Allow an appliction to set libcurl specific SSL options. The first and
only options supported right now is CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST.
It will make libcurl to disable any work-arounds the underlying SSL
library may have to address a known security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0
protocol versions.
This is a reaction to us unconditionally removing that behavior after
this security advisory:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124B.html
... it did however cause a lot of programs to fail because of old
servers not liking this work-around. Now programs can opt to decrease
the security in order to interoperate with old servers better.
