                                  Changelog

Daniel (11 February 2006)

- Karl M added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options that

  an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract

  the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at

  all after the connect is done.

- Kent Boortz improved the configure check for GnuTLS to properly set LIBS

  instead of LDFLAGS.

7.14.1)

.IP CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last socket used by this curl

session. If the socket is no longer valid, -1 is returned. When you finish

working with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup() as usual and let

libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the

handle. (Added in 7.15.2)

.SH TIMES

.NF

An overview of the six time values available from curl_easy_getinfo()

.IP CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6

Resolve to ipv6 addresses.

.RE

.SH CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY

Pass a long. A non-zero parameter tells the library to perform any required

proxy authentication and connection setup, but no data transfer.

This option is useful with the \fICURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP option to

\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP. The library can set up the connection and then the

application can obtain the most recently used socket for special data

transfers. (Added in 7.15.2)

.SH SSL and SECURITY OPTIONS

.IP CURLOPT_SSLCERT

Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be
