- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0 option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0. I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run. 2009-02-02 17:19:23 +01:00			`Command line options: 132`
- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this new behavior: o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow them in your app if you really want that behavior. o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all protocols libcurl may have been built to support. 2009-03-03 00:05:31 +01:00			`curl_easy_setopt() options: 163`
- 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() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used. 2008-05-12 23:43:24 +02:00			`Public functions in libcurl: 58`

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 10:53:21 +01:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer. 2006-08-09 00:56:46 +02:00			`This release includes the following changes:`

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection 2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed the wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring less than 100 bytes. 2009-11-05 00:09:17 +01:00			`o progress meter percentage and transfer time estimates fixes`
I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement in curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400. 2009-11-05 16:04:03 +01:00			`o portability enhancement for OS's without orthogonal directory tree structure`
