CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed
to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's
option --limit-rate to the library.
The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead
provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d
and -F, which it didn't before.
--enable-debug, as then curl used free() on memory allocated both with
normal malloc() and with libcurl-provided functions, when the latter MUST be
freed with curl_free() in debug builds.
type to the already provided type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4.
I added a --socks4 option that works like the current --socks5 option but
instead use the socks4 protocol.
curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.
Not extensively tested. Please let me know how it works.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1338648) which really is more of a
feature request, but anyway. It pointed out that --max-redirs did not allow
it to be set to 0, which then would return an error code on the first
Location: found. Based on Nis' patch, now libcurl supports CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS
set to 0, or -1 for infinity. Added test case 274 to verify.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1337723) that curl could not upload
binary data from stdin on Windows if the data contained control-Z (hex 1a)
since that is treated as end-of-file when read in text mode. Gisle Vanem
pointed out the fix, and I made both -T and --data-binary take advantage of
it.
in the man page, curl would send an invalid HTTP Range: header. The correct
way would be to use "-r [number]-" or even "-r -[number]". Starting now,
curl will warn if this is discovered, and automatically append a dash to the
range before passing it to libcurl.
glibc versions, and with this patch applied it no longer shows up to me. The
problem was indeed a flaw that made curl use a file handle already closed.
from the command line tool with --ignore-content-length. This will make it
easier to download files from Apache 1.x (and similar) servers that are
still having problems serving files larger than 2 or 4 GB. When this option
is enabled, curl will simply have to wait for the server to close the
connection to signal end of transfer. I wrote test case 269 that runs a
simple test that this works.
fails to open/read files etc to help users diagnose why it doesn't do what
you'd expect it to. Converted lots of old messages to use the new generic
function I wrote for this purpose.
--trace, --trace-ascii and --verbose output. I also made the '>' display
separate each line on the linefeed so that HTTP requests etc look nicer in the
-v output.
more places. First, CURL_HOME is a new environment variable that is used
instead of HOME if it is set, to point out where the default config file
lives. If there's no config file in the dir pointed out by one of the
environment variables, the Windows version will instead check the same
directory the executable curl is located in.
