6b7ccde156 (Added in the section for CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, pointed out on the
curl-library list on July 9th 2008 by Mathew Hounsell)

NOTE: the name resolve functions of various libc implementations don't re-read
name server information unless explicitly told so (by for example calling
Ires_init(3). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even
if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue
to the casual libcurl-app user.

7c648782bc Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():
CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this
you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract
the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.

5abfdc0140 - curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!
All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions,
  now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple
  times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need
  to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable
  verbose mode you use --no-verbose!

- Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all
  given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that
  for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o -
  or --no-remote-name.

514592b892 - Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send
and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform()

  show how they can be used.

852989856d - To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done on
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
  introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
  extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
  then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
  suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
  from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.

a2314225e0 - Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow an
application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note

  stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case
  554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.

ec54fbd9ed just mention in --cacert that curl normally has a default ca cert path built-in 2008-02-18 11:40:52 +00:00
Daniel Stenberg
074bd2a19b the ca-bundle is no longer shipped 2008-02-18 11:39:11 +00:00
Daniel Stenberg
fb23b85770 - We're no longer providing a very old ca-bundle in the curl tarball. You can
get a fresh one downloaded and created with 'make ca-bundle' or you can get
  one from here => http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html if you want a fresh
  new one extracted from Mozilla's recent list of ca certs.

  The configure option --with-ca-bundle now lets you specify what file to use
  as default ca bundle for your build. If not specified, the configure script
  will check a few known standard places for a global ca cert to use.

--keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took

no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in
these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new

18faa50940 Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when
doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present
remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read
and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming
begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size,
I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get
used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when
doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.

Daniel Stenberg
b430576436 Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
curl_easy_setopt() option.

The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
proxy.  The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
2008-01-05 22:04:18 +00:00
Daniel Stenberg
2e42b0a252 Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let the
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
pass on the IP address only to the proxy.

a46b40b7fd Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies, which
is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead
of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5).  --socks4a is
the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to
CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.

f8172f85b1 clarify that when curl_multi_timeout() returns -1 it just means that there
is no current timeout. It does not mean wait forever and it does not mean
do not wait at all. It means there is no timeout value known at this point in
time.

1c93e75375 Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to control
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a
HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done
unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers
better with the appending done!

887e8f9265 Chris Leighton:
My understanding is that we use "number" for discrete variables and
"amount" for continuous variables.

So you can say "The amount of flour required depends on..." or, "Last
night I consumed a large amount of beer!".

And, "That tank contains a large number of fish" or, "Over the week I
consumed a number of cases of beer."

I think that features are discrete, so the man page would read "...the
number of features will make your head spin!".

08fd1829e0 Known bug #47, which confused libcurl if doing NTLM auth over a proxy with
a response that was larger than 16KB is now improved slightly so that now
the restriction at 16KB is for the headers only and it should be a rare
situation where the response-headers exceed 16KB. Thus, I consider #47 fixed
and the header limitation is now known as known bug #48.

51c6a5d43b Based on a patch brought by Johnny Luong, libcurl now offers
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make
the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public
key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.

8c3f40ee32 Rob Crittenden provided an NSS update with the following highlights:
o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
  then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
  those exist.

o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
  loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
  certificates already in the NSS database are used.

o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
  thing is done

o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
  including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
  verbose mode

o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)

The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
keys.

and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed.  In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names.  These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009.  An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)

the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those
libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer
dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to
lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix)
just before this commit, just in case.

with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.
