Hello,

we discussed some days ago about making FTP commands (why not others protocols?) removable (for some of them at least) and replaceable, here is the state of the discussion:
- we'd like to have an option (let's say CURLOPT_COMMANDSCHANGES) which would be an slist of lines like that:
    SIZE: (to remove the command, the \0 should come just after the colon)
    SIZE:SUPERSZ (to replace the SIZE commands with SUPERSZ commands)

Here are some propositions:

- as most 'write' high-level commands are in fact based on printf, the command could be replaced with %s and a first parameter with the command text.
- for commands which cannot yet be disabled, curl_get_command_text(conn, "SIZE") for example. curl_get_command_text would return its parameter if it's not found in the changed commands.
- for commands which can be disabled, a curl_is_command_enabled (conn, command, newtext) could be implemented. By default all commands are enabled (unless specified by some other CURLOPT_ stuff), if enabled the newtext would be set to actual text to send (by default original command text).

any comments?
