Version 0.12.2 released 18-October-04

• New features:
  
  
  • You can now share dns and cookie information among TclCurl handles, please check the docs for details.
    
    
  • New configure option: 'ftpsslauth', you may need this option because of servers like BSDFTPD-SSL from won't work properly when "AUTH SSL" is issued but require "AUTH TLS" instead.
    
    
  • Added three new commands to the 'curl' namespace:
    
    
    • curl::easystrerror errorCode
      
      
    • curl::sharestrerror errorCode
      
      
    • curl::multistrerror errorCode
      
      
    All three will return a string explaining what the given error number means.
    
    
• Bug fix:
  
  
  • Ralph Mitchell reported that the 'cookiejar' option wouldn't work in the latest version, it should now.
    
    

Version 0.12.1 released 30-September-04

• New features:
  
  
  • Third party ftp support, you can now transfer a file between two different ftp servers. Check the 'ftp options' in the docs page for details.
    
    
  • A new command for curl handles 'reset' which re-initializes all options previously set on a specified handle to the default values.
    
    This puts back the handle to the same state as it was in when it was just created with curl::init.
    
    It does not change the following information kept in the handle: live connections, the Session ID cache, the DNS cache, the cookies and shares.
    
    
  • Hooked the multi interface to Tcl's event loop, so you can have fire-and-forget transfers:
    
    

        set multiHandle [curl::multiinit]
        set easyHandle  [curl::init]
    
        $easyHandle  configure -file home.tar.gz                      \
                -url http://127.0.0.1/~andres/HomePage.tar.gz 
    
        $multiHandle addhandle $easyHandle
        $multiHandle auto -command "CleanUp $multiHandle $easyHandle"
              

    This support is experimental, so any comments are welcome.
    
    Thanks to Eric Boudaillier who answered my question about how to do it.
    
    
  • New ssl data types have been added to 'debugproc'.
    
    
  • In case of error when setting post data, the error will incude a code about the nature of the error.
    
    
• Bug fix:
  
  
  • The 'autoreferer' option should now work.

Version 0.12.0 released 09-July-04

• New configure options:
  
  
  • -port: Pass the number specifying what remote port to connect to, instead of the one specified in the URL or the default port for the used protocol.
    
    
  • -tcpnodelay: To specify whether the TCP_NODELAY option should be set or cleared.
    
    Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose of this algorithm is to try to minimize the number of small packets on the network.
    
    
  • -autoreferer: When enabled, TclCurl will automatically set the 'Referer:' field in requests where it follows a 'Location:' redirect.
    
    
• Bug fix:
  
  
  • Thanks to Stefano Federici I noticed that the 'ftpssl' option didn't work.
    
    

Version 0.11.0 released 04-febrary-04

• New configure options:
  
  
  • ftpssl: You can use ftps:// URLs to explicitly switch on SSL/TSL for the control connection and the data connection.
    
    Alternatively you can set this option to one of these values:
    • nope: Do not attempt to use SSL.
      
      
    • try: Try using SSL, proceed anyway otherwise.
      
      
    • control: Use SSL for the control conecction or fail.
      
      
    • all: Use SSL for all communication or fail.
      
      
  • netrcfile: Pass a string containing the full path name to the file you want to use as .netrc file. For the option to work, you have to set the 'netrc' option to 'required'. If this option is omitted, and 'netrc' is set, TclCurl will attempt to find the a .netrc file in the current user's home directory.
    
    
• Bug fix: Fixed the 'netrc' option.
