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`
- 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. 2007-02-13 05:13:47 +08:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 141`
curl_multi_assign() and CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION proto change 2006-07-27 06:25:00 +08:00			`Number of public functions in libcurl: 54`
Feng Tu reported that curl -w did wrong on TFTP transfers in bug report #1715394 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1715394), and the transfer-related info "variables" were indeed overwritten with zeroes wrongly and have now been adjusted. The upload size still isn't accurate. 2007-05-18 18:32:48 +08:00			`Amount of public web site mirrors: 38`

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:`

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. 2007-06-25 21:58:14 +08:00			`o adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth or`
			`chunked encoding`
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:`

Robert Iakobashvili re-arranged the internal hash code to work with a custom hash function for different hashes, and also expanded the default size for the socket hash table used in multi handles to greatly enhance speed when very many connections are added and the socket API is used. 2007-06-27 05:09:28 +08:00			`Robert Iakobashvili`
