1 Version 7.22.0 released 03-Oct-2011
3 * New configure options:
5 * resolve: Pass a list of strings with host name resolve information to use for
6 requests with this handle.
8 Each single name resolve string should be written using the format
9 HOST:PORT:ADDRESS where HOST is the name TclCurl will try to resolve, PORT is
10 the port number of the service where TclCurl wants to connect to the HOST and
11 ADDRESS is the numerical IP address. If libcurl is built to support IPv6,
12 ADDRESS can be either IPv4 or IPv6 style addressing.
14 * tlsauthusername, tlsauthpassword: Pass a string with the username or password to
15 use for the TLS authentication method specified with the 'tlsauthtype' option.
17 * tlsauthtype: Use it to tell TclCurl which authentication method(s) you want it to
18 use for TLS authentication. So far the only method is 'tlsauthsrp' for TLS-SRP
19 authentication. Secure Remote Password authentication for TLS is defined in
20 RFC 5054 and provides mutual authentication if both sides have a shared secret.
22 You need to build libcurl with GnuTLS or OpenSSL with TLS-SRP support for this
25 * transferencoding: Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing
26 HTTP request. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond with the
27 HTTP resonse sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that will be automatically
28 uncompressed by TclCurl on receival.
30 Transfer-Encoding differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask for with
31 'encoding' in that a Transfer-Encoding is strictly meant to be for the transfer
32 and thus MUST be decoded before the data arrives in the client. Traditionally,
33 Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported by both HTTP clients and
36 * wildcard: Set this option to 1 if you want to transfer multiple files according to
37 a file name pattern. The pattern can be specified as part of the url, using an
38 fnmatch-like pattern (Shell Pattern Matching) in the last part of URL (file name).
40 So far it only works with FTP.
42 * fnmatchfunction: Name of the procedure that will be called instead of the internal
43 wildcard matching function, it should match the following prototype:
45 FnMatchProc {pattern string}
47 Returns '0' if it matches, '1' if it doesn't.
49 * chunkbgnproc: Name of the procedure that will be called before a file will be transfered
50 by ftp, it should match the following prototype:
52 ChunkBgnProc {remains}
54 Where remains is the number of files still to be transfered (or skipped)
56 This callback makes sense only when using the 'wildcard' option.
58 * chunkendproc: Name of the procedure that will be called after a file is transfered
59 (or skipped) by ftp when using the wildcard option, it should match the following
64 It should return '0' if everyhting is fine and '1' if some error occurred.
66 * chunkbgnvar: Name of the variable in the global scope that will contain the data of
67 the file about to be transfered. If you don't use this option '::fileData' will be used.
69 The available data is: filename, filetype (file, directory, symlink, device block,
70 device char, named pipe, socket, door or error if it couldn't be identified), time, perm,
71 uid, gid, size, hardlinks and flags.
73 * mailfrom: Pass a string to specify the sender address in a mail when sending an SMTP mail
76 * mailrcpt: Pass a list of recipients to pass to the server in your SMTP mail request.
78 * ftpusepret: Set to 1 to tell TclCurl to use the EPRT (and LPRT) command when doing
79 active FTP downloads (which is enabled by 'ftpport'). Using EPRT means that it will
80 first attempt to use EPRT and then LPRT before using PORT, if you pass zero to this
81 option, it will not try using EPRT or LPRT, only plain PORT.
83 * gssapidelegation: Set the option to 'flag' to allow unconditional GSSAPI
84 credential delegation. The delegation is disabled by default. Set the parameter
85 to 'policyflag' to delegate only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the service
86 ticket in case this feature is supported by the GSSAPI implementation and the
87 definition of GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG was available at compile-time.
89 * telnetoptions: Pass a list with variables to pass to the telnet negotiations.
90 The variables should be in the format <option=value>. TclCurl supports the
91 options'TTYPE', 'XDISPLOC' and 'NEW_ENV'. See the TELNET standard for details.
94 * Updated configure options:
96 * httpauth new method 'ntlmwb': NTLM delegating to winbind helper. Authentication is
97 performed by a separate binary application that is executed when needed. The name
98 of the application is specified at libcurl's compile time but is typically
101 * new proxy type 'socsk5h' to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the resolving
103 * New info available through the 'getinfo' command:
105 * primaryport: Returns the destination port of the most recent connection done.
107 * localip: Returns the local (source) IP address of the most recent connection done.
108 This string may be IPv6 if that's enabled.
110 * localport: Returns the local (source) port of the most recent connection done.
114 * Sven Hoexter let me know that TclCurl no longer build as curl/types.h and curl/easy.h
117 * Gary Nigg noticed that 'bodyvar' had to be reconfigured for each transfer.
119 * John Coppens got an error when he tried the 'curl::transfer' command.
121 * Gerald Dumas reported that TclCurl wouldn't compile in FreeBSD, it so happens that
122 the upstart type 'ulong' isn't good enough for it.
126 Version 7.19.0 released 1-Sep-2008
130 * curlHandle pause and curlHandle resume: Pause and resume a
131 tranfer from within a progress callback procedure.
133 * New configure options:
135 * addressscope: Pass a number specifying the scope_id value to
136 use when connecting to IPv6 link-local or site-local addresses.
138 * proxytranfermode: Pass a number. If the value is set to 1 (one),
139 it tells TclCurl to set the transfer mode (binary or ASCII) for
140 FTP transfers done via an HTTP proxy, by appending ;type=a or
141 ;type=i to the URL. Without this setting, or if set to 0 (zero,
142 the default), '-tranfertext' has no effect when doing FTP via a
143 proxy. Beware that not all proxies support this feature.
145 * Added two new types for the '-proxytype' option: 'socks4a'
146 and 'socks5hostname'.
148 * New info available through the 'getinfo' command:
150 * appconnecttime: Returns the time, in seconds, it took from the start
151 until the SSL/SSH connect/handshake to the remote host was completed.
153 * primaryip: Returns the IP address of the most recent connection done
156 * redirecturl: Returns the URL a redirect would take you to if you would
157 enable 'followlocation'. This can come very handy if you think using
158 the built-in redirect logic isn't good enough for you but you would
159 still prefer to avoid implementing all the magic of figuring out the
162 * Bug fix: The 'writeproc' option didn't work right.
167 * When compìling against Tcl 8.5.3 I had to remove a lot of CONSTs to
168 prevent warnings, and then I had to add them back with Tcl 8.5.4,
169 so, depending on which version you use you might get quite a few
170 warnings while compiling, they should be harmless though.
172 * The internal workings of the 'any' http authentication has been changed.
174 Version 7.17.1 released 1-Nov-2007
176 * New configure options:
178 * post301: A non-zero parameter tells TclCurl to respect
179 RFC 2616/10.3.2 and not convert POST requests into GET
180 requests when following a 301 redirection like browsers
183 * sshhostpublickeymd5: Pass a string containing 32 hexadecimal
184 digits. The string should be the 128 bit MD5 cheksum of the
185 remote host public key, and TclCurl will reject the connection
186 to the host unless the md5sums match.
188 * If you pass the magic string 'FLUSH' to the '-cookielist'
189 option all known cookies will be written to the file
190 specified by '-cookiejar'.
194 Some configure options have been renamed so they get more general
195 names, the old names are deprecated even if they may be supported
198 * sslpasswd => keypasswd
199 * ftpappend => append
200 * ftplistonly => dirlistonly
205 Up until the current version when we wanted libcurl to use a value
206 in a string, like the URL to download, we had to keep the string as
207 long as libcurl could use it. Since 7.17.0 libcurl keeps it own
208 copies, so I no longer make TclCurl do it.
210 That means this is a handle-with-care release, please report any
211 problems you may have.
214 Version 7.16.4 released 19-July-07
216 * New configure options:
218 * newfileperms: Used to set the permissions, defalt 0664, that will be
219 assigned to newly created files on the remote server.
221 * newdirectoryperms: Used to set the permissions, default 0755, that
222 will be assigned to newly created directories on the remote server.
224 They can both be used for SFTP, SCP and FILE transfers.
226 * Changed option: The option to set the Kerberos security
227 level for FTP is now called 'krblevel', the old name
228 'krb4level' will be kept for some time for compatibility.
230 * New option for multi handles:
232 * maxconnects: Sets the maximum amount of simultaneously open
233 connections that TclCurl may cache. Default is 10.
235 * Bug fix: Sven Hoexter fixed a couple of errors in the man page.
237 Version 7.16.2 released 16-April-07
239 * New feature: TclCurl now supports SSH for SFTP and SCP transfers as long
240 as libcurl has been compiled with libssh2 support.
242 * New configure options:
244 * publickeyfile: name of the file with the public key to use with SSH.
246 * privatekeyfile: name of the file with the provate key to use with SSH.
248 * sshauthtypes: Allowed types are "publickey", "password", "host",
249 "keyboard", or "any" to let TclCurl choose one.
251 * timeoutms and connectimeoutms: The work like 'timeout' and
252 'connectimeout' except the timout is given in miliseconds.
254 * ftpsslccc: If enabled, it will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after
255 the authentication is done on a FTP-SSL operation.
257 * httpcontentdecoding: If set to zero content decoding is disabled.
259 * httptransferdecoding: If set to zero Set transfer decoding is
260 disabled. TclCurl does chunked transfer decoding by default
261 unless this option is set to zero.
263 * ftpsslccc: If enabled, it will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after
264 the authentication is done on a FTP-SSL operation.
268 * Olivier Lenormand reported that in case the server sends more than
269 one 'Set-Cookie' header, TclCurl would only save the last one in
270 the header array. Now the array will contain a list with all the
273 * Jos Decoster reported and helped fixing a crash that happened when
274 changing a handle from using a 'writeproc' to not using one.
276 * I have updated the configure scripts to TEA 3.6, hope you don't bump into
279 Version 7.16.0 released 15-November-06
281 * Removed feature: TclCurl no longer supports third party FTP transfers.
283 * New configure options:
285 * ftpalternativetouser: Pass a string which will be used to authenticate
286 if the usual FTP "USER user" and "PASS password" negotiation fails. This
287 is currently only known to be required when connecting to Tumbleweed's
288 Secure Transport FTPS server using client certificates for
291 * ftpentrypath: Returns a string holding the path of the entry path.
292 That is the initial path TclCurl ended up in when logging on to the
293 remote FTP server. Returns an empty string if something is wrong.
295 * maxsendspeed: Pass a speed in bytes per seconds. If an upload exceeds this
296 speed on cumulative average during the transfer, the transfer will pause to
297 keep the average rate less than or equal to the parameter value.
299 * maxrecvspeed: Pass a speed in bytes per second. If a download exceeds this
300 speed on cumulative average during the transfer, the transfer will pause to
301 keep the average rate less than or equal to the parameter value.
303 * New command for multi handles 'configure', so far the is only one option to set:
305 * pipelining: Pass a 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Enabling pipelining on a multi
306 handle will make it attempt to perform HTTP Pipelining as far as possible for
307 transfers using this handle. This means that if you add a second request that
308 can use an already existing connection, the second request will be "piped" on
309 the same connection rather than being executed in parallel.
311 Version 0.15.3 released 17-April-06
313 * I updated the autoconf scripts to TEA 3.5, this seems to prevent
314 the warnings about how the headers files couldn't be compiled,
315 but it may have (re)introduced other bugs.
317 * Removed feature: TclCurl no longer supports Gopher, it probably
320 * New configure options:
322 * localport: Sets the local port number of the socket used for
323 the connection. This can be used in combination with '-interface'
324 and you are recommended to use 'localportrange' as well when this
327 * localportrange: Number of attempts TclCurl should do to find a
328 working local port number. It starts with the given 'localport'
329 and adds one to the number for each retry.
331 Version 0.15.1 released 10-January-06
333 * New configure options:
335 * ftpskippasvip: If set to a non-zero value, it instructs TclCurl
336 not to use the IP address the server suggests in its 227-response
337 to TclCurl's PASV command when TclCurl connects the data connection.
338 Instead TclCurl will re-use the same IP address it already uses for
339 the control connection. But it will use the port number from the
342 * ftpfilemethod: It allows three values:
344 * multicwd: the default, TclCurl will do a single CWD operation
345 for each path part in the given URL. For deep hierarchies this
346 means very many commands. This is how RFC1738 says it should
349 * nocwd: no CWD at all is done, TclCurl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR
350 etc and give a full path to the server.
352 * singlecwd: make one CWD with the full target directory and then
353 operate on the file "normally".
355 The support for this options is still experimental, comments whether
356 the methods work or don't with different methods are welcome.
358 Likewise, the options, or their names, may change in future releases,
359 so they are not yet documented elsewhere.
361 * Bug fix: The Windows packages had defective 'doc' directories. Thanks to
362 Alex Hisen for letting me know.
364 Version 0.14.1 released 4-September-05
366 * New configure options:
368 * ingnorecontentlength: Ignore the Content-Length header. This is
369 useful for Apache 1.x (and similar servers) which will report
370 incorrect content length for files over 2 gigabytes.
372 * cookielist: Pass a string with a cookie. The cookie can be
373 either in Netscape / Mozilla format or just regular HTTP-style
374 header (Set-Cookie: ...) format.
376 '$curlHandle getinfo cookielist' will return a list of all
377 cookies TclCurl knows (expired ones, too).
379 * When posting data, you can use the new 'filecontent' option to
380 read a file and use its contents as data.
382 * Bug fix: The code to post data was filled with memory leaks, I hope
383 I have fixed them all.
385 Version 0.14.0 released 3-June-05
387 * BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: To set the version SSL/TLS to use with
388 '-sslversion' you can know use the values:
391 The default action. When libcurl built with OpenSSL, this will
392 attempt to figure out the remote SSL protocol version.
393 Unfortunately there are a lot of ancient and broken servers in
394 use which cannot handle this technique and will fail to
395 connect. When libcurl is built with GnuTLS, this will mean SSLv3.
406 * Bug fix: A report by Melissa Millard made me realize that the
407 options 'httpauth', 'proxyauth', 'ipresolve', 'ftpssl' and
408 'ftpsslauth' have, probably, never worked. They should now.
410 * I updated 'configure.in' and 'Makefile.in' to the latest versions
411 in Tcl's sample extension, unfortunately that's likely to introduce
412 some bugs, so, please, report any problems.
414 Version 0.13.2 released 16-April-05
418 * New configure options:
420 * ftpaccount: When an FTP server asks for "account data"
421 after user name and password has been provided.
423 * sourceurl: When set, it enables a FTP third party transfer.
425 * sourcequote: Exactly like '-quote', but for the source host.
427 * The following options are now obsolete 'sourcehost', 'sourcepath',
428 'sourceport' and 'pasvhost'.
430 * curl::versioninfo will indicate if there is support for
433 * More information can be obtained using 'curl::getinfo':
435 * numconnects: to get the number of new connections
436 TclCurl had to create to achieve the previous transfer.
438 * sslengines: returns a list of the OpenSSL crypto-engines
441 * httpconnectcode: returns the last received proxy
442 response code to a CONNECT request
446 * Fixed the "-sourcepostquote" option.
448 * Daniel A. Steffen fixed a bug with parallel builds.
450 Version 0.12.2 released 18-October-04
454 * You can now share dns and cookie information among TclCurl
455 handles, please check the docs for details.
457 * New configure option: 'ftpsslauth', you may need this option
458 because of servers like BSDFTPD-SSL from won't work properly
459 when "AUTH SSL" is issued but require "AUTH TLS" instead.
461 * Added three new commands to the 'curl' namespace:
463 * curl::easystrerror errorCode
465 * curl::sharestrerror errorCode
467 * curl::multistrerror errorCode
469 All three will return a string explaining what the given error
474 * Ralph Mitchell reported that the 'cookiejar' option wouldn't
475 work in the latest version, it should now.
477 Version 0.12.1 released 30-September-04
481 * Third party ftp support, you can now transfer a file between
482 two different ftp servers. Check the 'ftp options' in the docs
485 * A new command for curl handles 'reset' which re-initializes all
486 options previously set on a specified handle to the default values.
488 This puts back the handle to the same state as it was in when it
489 was just created with curl::init.
491 It does not change the following information kept in the handle:
492 live connections, the Session ID cache, the DNS cache, the cookies
495 * Hooked the multi interface to Tcl's event loop, so you can have
496 fire-and-forget transfers:
498 set multiHandle [curl::multiinit]
499 set easyHandle [curl::init]
501 $easyHandle configure -file home.tar.gz \
502 -url http://127.0.0.1/~andres/HomePage.tar.gz
504 $multiHandle addhandle $easyHandle
505 $multiHandle auto -command "CleanUp $multiHandle $easyHandle"
507 This support is experimental, so any comments are welcome.
509 Thanks to Eric Boudaillier who answered my question about how to
512 * New ssl data types have been added to 'debugproc'.
514 * In case of error when setting post data, the error will include a
515 code about the nature of the error.
519 * The 'autoreferer' option should now work.
521 Version 0.12.0 released 09-July-04
523 * New configure options:
525 * '-port': Pass the number specifying what remote port to connect to,
526 instead of the one specified in the URL or the default port for the
529 * '-tcpnodelay': To specify whether the TCP_NODELAY option should be
532 Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose
533 of this algorithm is to try to minimize the number of small packets
536 * '-autoreferer': When enabled, TclCurl will automatically set the
537 'Referer:' field in requests where it follows a 'Location:' redirect.
541 * Thanks to Stefano Federici I noticed that the 'ftpssl' option didn't
544 Version 0.11.0 released 04-febrary-04
547 * New configure options:
549 * 'ftpssl': You can use ftps:// URLs to explicitly switch on SSL/TSL
550 for the control connection and the data connection.
552 Alternatively you can set this option to one of these values:
554 * 'nope': Do not attempt to use SSL
556 * 'try': Try using SSL, proceed anyway otherwise.
558 * 'control': Use SSL for the control conecction or fail.
560 * 'all': Use SSL for all communication or fail.
562 * 'netrcfile': Pass a string containing the full path name to the
563 file you want to use as .netrc file. For the option to work, you
564 have to set the 'netrc' option to 'required'. If this option is
565 omitted, and 'netrc' is set, TclCurl will attempt to find the a
566 .netrc file in the current user's home directory.
568 * Bug fix: Fixed the 'netrc' option.
570 Version 0.10.8 released 29-december-03
572 * New 'configure' options:
574 * 'ftpresponsetimeout': Causes TclCurl to set a timeout period
575 on the amount of time that the server is allowed to take in
576 order to generate a response message for a command before the
577 session is considered hung.
579 * 'ipresolve': Allows an application to select what kind of
580 IP addresses to use when resolving host names. This is only
581 interesting when using host names that resolve addresses
582 using more than one version of IP.
584 * 'maxfilesize': Allows you to specify the maximum size
585 of a file to download.
587 * New 'getinfo' options:
589 * 'httpauthavail': Returns a list with the authentication method(s)
592 * 'proxyauthavail': Returns a list with the authentication method(s)
593 available for your proxy athentication.
597 * 'curl::versioninfo' will now say if there is support for
598 asynchronus DNS and SPNEGO.
600 * The 'httpcode' for 'getinfo' is now called 'responsecode'
601 since it will now work with FTP transfers. The old option
602 name, while deprecated, will continue to work.
606 * TclCurl still thought it was in version 0.10.4.
608 * Fixed the 'httpauth' option.
610 * The configure scripts would sometimes use the cURL in
611 '/usr/bin' instead of the one in '/usr/local/bin' despite
612 the '--with-curlprefix' tag.
614 Version 0.10.7 released 03-September-03
616 * New configure options:
618 * 'ftpcreatemissingdirs': If set to non-zero, TclCurl
619 will attempt to create any remote directory that it
620 fails to CWD into. CWD is the command that changes
623 * 'httpauth': Set to the authentication method you want,
624 the available ones are:
626 * 'basic': HTTP Basic authentication. This is the
627 default choice, and the only method that is in
628 widespread use and supported virtually everywhere.
629 It sends the user name and password over the network
630 in plain text, easily captured by others.
632 * 'digest': HTTP Digest authentication. Digest
633 authentication is a more secure way to do
634 authentication over public networks than the
635 regular old-fashioned Basic method.
637 * 'gssnegotiate': HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication.
638 The GSS-Negotiate method was designed by Microsoft
639 and is used in their web aplications. It is primarily
640 meant as a support for Kerberos5 authentication
641 but may be also used along with another authenti-
644 * 'ntlm': HTTP NTLM authentication. A proprietary
645 protocol invented and used by Microsoft.
647 * 'any':TclCurl will automaticaly select the one it
650 * 'anysafe': It may use anything but basic, TclCurl
651 will automaticly select the one it finds most secure.
654 * 'command': Executes a Tcl command after the transfer
655 is done. So far it only works in blocking transfers
656 which is pretty much useless.
658 Version 0.10.5 released 21-May-03
660 * New configure option:
662 * 'ftpuseeptr': Set to non-zero, to tell TclCurl to use the EPRT
663 (and LPRT) command when doing active FTP downloads (which is
664 enabled by 'ftpport'). Using EPRT means that it will first attempt
665 to use EPRT and then LPRT before using PORT, if you pass zero to
666 this option, it will not try using EPRT or LPRT, only plain PORT
670 * The multi handles couldn't store the data of more than two
673 * Using the 'progressproc' option in Windows would crash Tcl.
675 * The '$multiHandle active' command wasn't returning anything.
679 * Updated ssl in Windows binaries to version 0.9.7b.
681 * Changed the way the http reponse header is dealt with in
682 the 'headervar' option. Now the whole header is put into
685 ************** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY **************
687 Version 0.10.4 released 31-March-03
691 * Added 'getinfo' features to the 'curl::transfer' command.
693 You can now do things like:
695 curl::transfer -url http://www.curl.com \
696 -infohttpcode httpCode \
697 -infocontenttype contentType \
699 puts "Http code: $httpCode"
700 puts "Content type: $contentType"
702 * New configure option: -unrestrictedauth, a non-zero parameter
703 tells the extension it can continue to send authentication
704 (user+password) when following locations, even when hostname
705 changed. Note that this is meaningful only when setting
708 * The makefile now has an 'uninstall' target.
710 * The Windows packages are now zlib enabled.
712 * Added a 'packages' directory with a makefile to create the
713 Windows packages and the spec file for rpm.
717 * The configure script will no longer choke with the version
718 string of cURL's prereleases.
722 * If there is an error, the 'curl::transfer' command will now
723 return the code of the error, without the 'Couldn't perform
726 ************** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY **************
728 * So that they have the same name in Windows and Linux, I have
729 changed the name of the certificate file in Windows to
730 'curl-ca-bundle.crt' and it will placed in the 'Windows'

735 * Alex Khassin suggested using fully qualified in 'tclcurl.tcl'
736 names to prevent problems with namespaces.
738 Version 0.10.3 released 30-January-03
740 * New configure option:
742 * 'http200alieases': To pass a list of aliases to be treated as valid
747 * When using '-headervar' in Windows you could end up with carriage
748 returns in the name of the header.
750 * Julian let me know that TclCurl would crash when used in a thread
755 * Since compiling TclCurl in Windows is a real pain, I will provide
756 more packages for it, thread and ssl enabled.
758 * Alex Khassin has written instructions on how to get TclCurl to work
761 Version 0.10.1 released 14-October-02
763 * New configure options:
765 * 'proxytype': Allows you to set type of the proxy. Available options
766 are 'http' and 'socks5', with the HTTP one being default.
768 * 'encoding': TclCurl can now request compressed contents using the
771 * 'buffersize': To set prefered size for the receive buffer in TclCurl,
772 so that the write callback is called more often with smaller chunks.
774 * 'nosignal': Tells TclCurl not use any functions that install signal
775 handlers or any functions that cause signals to be sent to the process.
779 * 'curl::versioninfo': Returns information about various run-time
784 * Fixed to 'buffer' option to post data.

791 Version 0.9.8 released 25-June-02
793 * Support for libcurl's multi interface, the main features are:
795 * Enable a "pull" interface. The application that uses TclCurl
796 decides where and when to get/send data.
798 * Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread
799 without making it complicated for the application.
801 * Keep Tk GUIs 'alive' while transfers are taking place.
803 * New 'httppost' options
805 * 'bufferName' and 'buffer', the contents of buffer will be sent
806 to the server as if they were a file whose name is in bufferName,
807 please check the 'httpBufferPost.tcl' example.
809 * New 'getinfo' options
811 * redirectime: Returns the total time, in seconds, it took for all
812 redirection steps including name lookup, connect, pretransfer and
813 transfer before the final transaction was started, it returns the

823 * dnscachetimeout, to set the timeout in seconds for keeping the name resolves
826 * dnsuseglobalcache, if set to '1' the DNS cache will be shared among
829 * debugproc, to set a procedure that will receive the debug data
830 produced by the 'verbose' option.
833 * Jonathan Matthew found and fixed a seg fault when you used
834 the 'httpheader' option twice with the same handle.
837 * The configure scripts saw more work in this release:
839 * I merged the latest changes to the TEA sample extension by
842 * Suresh K. Sastry found and fixed an incompatibility with Solaris.
844 * And I hope I have not forgotten any 'DESTDIR' this time.
846 Version 0.9.5 released 01-April-2002
848 * I have adapted the configure scripts to the new TEA scripts released by
849 Jeff Hobbs, for example, now it will compile 'out of the box' for freeBSD
850 systems (well, you may need to use '--with-curlprefix' and '--with-curlinclude')
852 * New configure option:
854 * prequote: use it to pass a list of ftp commands to execute *just before*
857 * New getinfo option:
859 * contenttype: if the servers bothers to tell you, this will return the type
860 of the downloadad object.
862 * Bug fix: 'curl::transfer' will return '0' if the transfer was successful.
863 *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

878 * sslcerttype: Set SSL cert type (PEM/DER).
880 * sslkey: Set SSL private key (file).
882 * sslkeytype: Set SSL key type (PEM/DER/ENG).
884 * sslkeypasswd: Set the passphrase for your private key.
