-												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:
-												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.

+								 o added CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS
 								 o improved hashing of sockets for the multi_socket API
-												Thomas J. Moore provided a patch that introduces Kerberos5 support in
libcurl. This also makes the options change name to --krb (from --krb4) and
CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL (from CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL) but the old names are still

-												working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes

											
										
										
											2003-09-22 23:38:52 +02:00
+								This release includes the following bugfixes:
-												Adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth or
chunked encoding (that also lacks "Connection: close"). It now simply
assumes that the connection WILL be closed to signal the end, as that is how
RFC2616 section 4.4 point #5 says we should behave.

											2007-06-28 12:47:05 +02:00
+								 o fixed the 10-at-a-time.c example
-												Song Ma helped me verify and extend a fix for doing FTP over a SOCKS4/5 proxy

											
										
										
											2007-07-01 23:28:14 +02:00
+								 o FTP over SOCKS proxy
-												Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance
of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using
for a host which was supposed not to exist.

											
										
										
											2007-04-13 13:35:19 +02:00
-												curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly
