                               History of Changes

Version 7.9.5

Daniel (7 March 2002)

- Added docs/KNOWN_BUGS to the release archive.

Daniel (6 March 2002)

- Kevin Roth corrected a flaw in the curl client globbing code that made it

  mess up backslashes. This was most notable on windows (cygwin) machines when

  using file://.

- Brad provided another fix for building outside the source-tree.

- Ralph Mitchell patched away a few compiler warnings in tests/server/sws.c

  -F accepts parameters like -F "name=contents". If you want the contents to

  be read from a file, use <@filename> as contents. When specifying a file,

  you can also specify the file content type by appending ';type=<mime type>'

  to the file name. You can also post the contents of several files in one field.

  For example, the field name 'coolfiles' is used to send three  files, with

  different content types using the following syntax:

  to the file name. You can also post the contents of several files in one

  field.  For example, the field name 'coolfiles' is used to send three files,

  with different content types using the following syntax:

        curl -F "coolfiles=@fil1.gif;type=image/gif,fil2.txt,fil3.html" \

        http://www.post.com/postit.cgi

  If the content-type is not specified, curl will try to guess from the file

  extension  (it only knows a few), or use the previously specified type

  (from an earlier file if several files are specified in a list) or else it

  will  using the default type 'text/plain'.

  an earlier file if several files are specified in a list) or else it will

  using the default type 'text/plain'.

  Emulate a fill-in form with -F. Let's say you fill in three fields in a

  form. One field is a file name which to post, one field is your name and one

  field is a file description. We want to post the file we have written named

  "cooltext.txt". To let curl do the posting of this data instead of your

  favourite browser, you have to read the HTML source of the form page and find

  the names of the input fields. In our example, the input field names are

  'file', 'yourname' and 'filedescription'.
