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. 2007-10-03 08:00:42 +00:00			`Available command line options: 121`
Alexey Pesternikov introduced CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION and CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry for mixing those in.) 2007-10-03 08:45:00 +00:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 147`

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 09:53:21 +00:00
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. 2006-08-08 22:56:46 +00:00			`This release includes the following changes:`
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code. 2006-10-21 11:32:05 +00:00
