- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This adds three new options to control the behavior of TCP keepalives:
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE: enable/disable probes
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE: idle time before sending first probe
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL: delay between successive probes
While not all operating systems support the TCP_KEEPIDLE and
TCP_KEEPINTVL knobs, the library will still allow these options to be
set by clients, silently ignoring the values.
1- Two new error codes are introduced.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED to be set whenever ACCEPTing fails because of
FTP server connected.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT to be set whenever ACCEPTing timeouts.
Neither of these errors are considered fatal and control connection
remains OK because it could just be a firewall blocking server to
connect to the client.
2- One new setopt option was introduced.
CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS
It sets the maximum amount of time FTP client is going to wait for a
server to connect. Internal default accept timeout is 60 seconds.
Parameters were underquoted, resulting in
warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body

Do not try to resolve interfaces names via DNS by recognizing interface
names in a few ways. If the interface option argument has a prefix of
"if!" then treat the argument as only an interface. Similarly, if the
interface argument is the name of an interface (even if it does not have
an IP address assigned), treat it as an interface name. Finally, if the
interface argument is prefixed by "host!" treat it as a hostname that
must be resolved by /etc/hosts or DNS.
These changes allow a client using the multi interfaces to avoid
blocking on name resolution if the interface loses its IP address or
disappears.
If the option is set to 0, the default timeout will be used - which in
modern libcurl versions equals 300 seconds (== 5 minutes).

When the new socket is created for an active connection, it is now done
using the open socket callback.
Test case 596 was modified to run fine, although it hides the fact that
the close callback is still called too many times, as it also gets
called for closing sockets that were created with accept().
Experience has shown that the symbols-in-versions file is very useful to
applications that want to build with a wide range of libcurl versions.
It is however easy to get it wrong and the source gets a bit messy with
all the fixed numerical comparisions.
The point of this script is to provide an easy-to-use macro for libcurl-
using applications to do preprocessor checks for specific libcurl
defines, and yet make the code clearly show what the macro is used for.
Added pop3 username and password example as well as an explanation of
how path part of the URL is used under pop3.
Additionally have corrected a couple of typos.
Don't even declare the struct members for disabled features
Introducing the CURLSHE_NOT_BUILT_IN return code for the share interface
when trying to set a sharing option that has been disabled (or not
enabled) in the library.
Slight rewording of the CURLOPT_URL SMTP sub-section.
Corrected the incorrect use of hyphens on the three uses of
"zero-terminated" with "zero terminated" to match the rest of the
document.
Corrected the use of an out of place hyphen in CURLOPT_NOPROXY section.
Allow (*curl_write_callback) write callbacks to return
CURL_WRITEFUNC_OUT_OF_MEMORY to properly indicate libcurl of OOM conditions
inside the callback itself.
If a socket is larger than FD_SETSIZE, avoid using FD_SET() on the
platforms where this is possible.

Using 'socks5h' as proxy protocol will make it a
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME proxy which is SOCKS5 and asking the proxy to
resolve host names. I found no "standard" protocol name for this.
Clarify that the '-', '.', '_' or '~' letters are also not escaped since
they shouldn't according to RFC3986 section 2.3.
This is how this function has behaved since sep 2010, commit
5df13c3173.
Added CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING as the option to set to request Transfer
Encoding in HTTP requests (if built zlib enabled). I also renamed
CURLOPT_ENCODING to CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING (while keeping the old name
around) to reduce the confusion when we have to encoding options for
HTTP.
--tr-encoding is now the new command line option for curl to request
this, and thus I updated the test cases accordingly.
