Hi,

I have just released a new version of TclCurl updated for
libcurl 7.16.2, with TclCurl you can download and upload
files using protocols like ftp, ftps, tftp, http, https,
scp, sftp, tftp, ldap, telnet, dict and file.

The main changes since the last version are:

* New feature: TclCurl now supports SSH for SFTP and SCP transfers
as long as libcurl has been compiled with libssh2 support.

* New configure options:

* publickeyfile: name of the file with the public key to use
with SSH.

* privatekeyfile: name of the file with the provate key to
use with SSH.

* sshauthtypes: Allowed types are "publickey", "password",
"host", "keyboard", or "any" to let TclCurl choose one.

* timeoutms and connectimeoutms: The work like 'timeout' and
'connectimeout' except the timout is given in miliseconds.

* ftpsslccc: If enabled, it will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS
after the authentication is done on a FTP-SSL operation.

* httpcontentdecoding: If set to zero content decoding is disabled.

* httptransferdecoding: If set to zero Set transfer decoding is
disabled. TclCurl does chunked transfer decoding by default
unless this option is set to zero.

* ftpsslccc: If enabled, it will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS
after the authentication is done on a FTP-SSL operation.

* Bug fixes:

* Olivier Lenormand reported that in case the server sends more
than one 'Set-Cookie' header, TclCurl would only save the last
one in the header array. Now the array will contain a list with
all the cookies.

* Jos Decoster reported and helped fixing a crash that happened
when changing a handle from using a 'writeproc' to not using one.

* I have updated the configure scripts to TEA 3.6.

Since the last TclCurl, there has been many changes in libcurl which
you can check at:

Share the wonders,

Hi Andres, thanks for the fix!

With mySQLite, TclCurl is from far the most useful tcl extension I
use.
It's very stable, and after months in production, my daemonized
TclCurl scripts show no size increase, so TclCurl is leak-free, which
is an undeniable advantage :)
