                                  Changelog

Daniel S (1 July 2007)

- 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 

- Song Ma helped me verify and extend a fix for doing FTP over a SOCKS4/5

  proxy.

 o added CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS

 o improved hashing of sockets for the multi_socket API

 o ftp kerberos5 support added

This release includes the following bugfixes:

This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and

advice from friends like these:

KERBEROS4 FTP TRANSFER

KERBEROS FTP TRANSFER

  Curl supports kerberos4 for FTP transfers. You need the kerberos package

  installed and used at curl build time for it to be used.

  Curl supports kerberos4 and kerberos5/GSSAPI for FTP transfers. You need

  the kerberos package installed and used at curl build time for it to be

  used.

  First, get the krb-ticket the normal way, like with the kauth tool. Then use

  curl in way similar to:

  First, get the krb-ticket the normal way, like with the kinit/kauth tool.

  Then use curl in way similar to:

        curl --krb4 private ftp://krb4site.com -u username:fakepwd

        curl --krb private ftp://krb4site.com -u username:fakepwd

  There's no use for a password on the -u switch, but a blank one will make

  curl ask for one and you already entered the real password to kauth.

TELNET

assumed.

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.

.IP "--krb4 <level>"

(FTP) Enable Kerberos4 authentication and use. The level must be entered and

.IP "--krb <level>"

(FTP) Enable Kerberos authentication and use. The level must be entered and

should be one of 'clear', 'safe', 'confidential' or 'private'. Should you use

a level that is not one of these, 'private' will instead be used.

This option requires that the library was built with Kerberos4 support. This

is not very common. Use \fI-V/--version\fP to see if your curl supports it.

.IP "-K/--config <config file>"

.IP "NTLM"

NTLM authentication is supported.

.IP "GSS-Negotiate"

Negotiate authentication is supported.

Negotiate authentication and krb5 for ftp is supported.

.IP "Debug"

This curl uses a libcurl built with Debug. This enables more error-tracking

and memory debugging etc. For curl-developers only!
