Added --pubkey option to curl and made --key also work for SCP/SFTP, plus made --pass work on an SSH private key as well. 2007-03-24 01:59:40 +08:00			`Available command line options: 118`

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 17:53:21 +08:00
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 06:56:46 +08:00			`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 19:32:05 +08:00

working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes 2003-09-23 05:38:52 +08:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Shmulik Regev: The tiny patch below fixes a bug (that I introduced :) which happens when negotiating authentication with a proxy (probably with web servers as well) that uses chunked transfer encoding for the 407 error pages. In this case the ''ignorebody'' flag was ignored (no pun intended). 2007-07-11 06:45:01 +08:00			`o test cases 31, 46, 61, 506, 517 now work in time zones that use leap seconds`
Giancarlo Formicuccia reported and fixed a problem with a closed connection to a proxy during CONNECT auth negotiation. 2007-07-11 06:31:13 +08:00			`o problem with closed proxy connection during HTTP CONNECT auth negotiation`

Made CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 acts as described in the documentation: fail to connect if there is no Common Name field found in the remote cert. We should deprecate the support for this set to 1 anyway soon, since the feature is pointless and most likely never really used by anyone. 2007-07-12 06:20:46 +08:00			`o CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1`
Shmulik Regev found an (albeit rare) case where the proxy CONNECT operation could in fact get stuck in an endless loop. 2007-07-13 04:15:38 +08:00			`o CONNECT endless loop`
Made the krb5 code build with Heimdal's GSSAPI lib 2007-07-13 05:34:42 +08:00			`o krb5 support builds with Heimdal`
Colin Hogben filed bug report #1750274 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1750274) and submitted a patch for the case where libcurl did a connect attempt to a non-listening port and didn't provide a human readable error string back. 2007-07-14 04:17:35 +08:00			`o added returned error string for connection refused case`
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 19:35:19 +08:00
curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly 2007-01-28 20:58:13 +08:00			`This release includes the following known bugs:`

Daniel Cater made libcurl build with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined (which doesn't define the symbols for backwards source compatibility) 2007-07-14 04:04:53 +08:00			`Dan Fandrich, Song Ma, Daniel Black, Giancarlo Formicuccia, Shmulik Regev,`
