- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent to the debug callback. - Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once. 2007-02-12 21:13:47 +00:00			`Available command line options: 116`

- David McCreedy provided libcurl changes for doing HTTP communication on non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more #ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can add it without the extra stuff added. 2007-01-14 14:57:51 +00:00			`Amount of public web site mirrors: 39`

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
ftp@example.com is now the new anonymous FTP password. I opted for 'ftp' on the left side of @ to make it short(er). 2007-02-13 22:50:16 +00:00			`o added CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS`

cookie expiry date in several test cases set to year 2030/2035 2007-02-05 02:43:21 +00:00			`o in testsuite, update test cookies expiration from 2007-Feb-1 to year 2035`
- Yang Tse fixed the cookie expiry date in several test cases that started to fail since they used "1 feb 2007"... - Manfred Schwarb reported that socks5 support was broken and help us pinpoint the problem. The code now tries harder to use httproxy and proxy where apppropriate, as not all proxies are HTTP... 2007-02-03 09:34:03 +00:00			`o socks5 works`
ftp@example.com is now the new anonymous FTP password. I opted for 'ftp' on the left side of @ to make it short(er). 2007-02-13 22:50:16 +00:00			`o builds fine with VC2005`
- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Michal Marek reported problems with resetting CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP. 2007-02-16 15:37:05 +00:00			`o CURLOPT_RANGE set to NULL resets the range for FTP`
- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem with the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle. The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk: the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was marked for closure. 2007-02-18 23:02:42 +00:00			`o curl_multi_remove_handle() rare crash`
- Robson Braga Araujo made passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS (both 4 and 5). 2007-02-19 11:53:54 +00:00			`o passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS`
