Hi,

I have released a new version of TclCurl for libcurl 7.19.6.

It's the first release since 7.19.0, so there are many changes:

    * New configure options:
        
        * certinfo: Pass a 1 to enable TclCurl's certificate chain info
          gatherer. With this enabled, TclCurl (if libcurl is built with
          OpenSSL support) will extract lots of information and data
          about the certificates in the certificate chain used in the SSL
          connection.

          It is then possible to extract this data after the transfer using
          '$curlHandle getinfo certinfo'.

        * noproxy: Pass a string, a comma-separated list of hosts which do
          not use a proxy, if one is specified. The only wildcard is a
          single * character, which matches all hosts and effectively
          disables the proxy. Each name in this list is matched as either a
          domain which contains the hostname, or the hostname itself. For
          example, local.com would match local.com, local.com:80, and
          www.local.com, but not www.notlocal.com.
          
        * postredir: Controls how TclCurl acts on redirects after POSTs that
          get a 301 or 302 response back.
                  
          A "301" as parameter tells the TclCurl to respect RFC 2616/10.3.2
          and not convert POST requests into GET requests when following a
          301 redirection.
                  
          Passing a "302" makes TclCurl maintain the request method after a
          302 redirect.
                  
          "all" is a convenience string that activates both behaviours.

          The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the
          extension does the conversion by default to maintain consistency.
          However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such a
          redirection.

          This option is meaningful only when setting '-followlocation'.

          The option used to be known as '-post301', which should still work
          but is now deprecated.

        * protocols: Pass a list, in lowercase, with the protocols TclCurl
          is allowed to use. This allows you to have a libcurl built to
          support a wide range of protocols but still limit specific
          transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of them.
          
          By default TclCurl will accept all protocols supported by libcurl.

          Supported protocols are: http, https, ftp, ftps, scp, sftp,
          telnet, ldap, ldaps, dict. file and tftp. You can use the
          string 'all' to enable all of them
        
        * redirprotocols: Pass a list, in lowercase, with the protocols that
          TclCurl may use in a transfer that it follows to in a redirect
          when 'followlocation' is enabled. This allows you to limit
          specific transfers to a subset of protocols in redirections. By
          default TclCurl will allow all protocols except for FILE and SCP.
          
        * socks5gssapiservice: Pass a string holding the name of the
          service.

          The default service name for a SOCKS5 server is rcmd/server-fqdn.
          This option allows you to change it.

        * socks5gssapinec: Pass a l1 to enable or 0 to disable. As part of
          the gssapi negotiation a protection mode is negotiated, the
          rfc1961 says in section 4.3/4.4 it should be protected, but the
          NEC reference implementation does not. If enabled, this option
          allows the unprotected exchange of the protection mode
          negotiation.

        * sshknownhosts: Pass a string holding the file name of the
          known_host file to use. The known_hosts file should use the
          OpenSSH file format as supported by libssh2. If this file is
          specified, TclCurl will only accept connections with
          hosts that are known and present in that file, with a matching
          public key.
          
        * sshkeyproc: Pass the name of the procedure that will be called
          when the known_host matching has been done to allow the
          application to act and decide for TclCurl how to proceed. It gets
          passed a list with three elements, the first one is a list with
          the type of the key from the known_hosts file and the key itself,
          the second is another list with the type of the key from the
          remote site and the key itslef, the third tells you what TclCurl
          thinks about the matching status.

          The known key types are: "rsa", "rsa1" and "dss", in any other
          case "unknown" is given.

          TclCurl opinion about how they match may
          be: "match", "mismatch", "missing" or "error".

          The procedure must return:
          
           - 0: The host+key is accepted and TclCurl will append it to the
                known_hosts file before continuing with the connection.
                This will also add the host+key combo to the known_host
                pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present there.

                Note that the adding of data to the file is done
                by completely replacing the file with a new copy, so the
                permissions of the file must allow this.
                
           - 1: The host+key is accepted, TclCurl will continue with the
                 connection.

                 This will also add the host+key combo to the known_host
                 pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present
                 
           - 2: The host+key is rejected. TclCurl will close the
                 connection.
            
           - 3: The host+key is rejected, but the SSH connection is asked
                 to be kept alive. This feature could be used when the app
                 wants to somehow return back and act on the host+key
                 situation and then retry without needing the overhead of
                 setting it up from scratch again.

            - Any other value will cause the connection to be closed.
            
        * tftpblksize: Specify block size to use for a TFTP data
          transmission. Valid range as per RFC 2348 is 8-65464 bytes. The
          default of 512 bytes will be used if this option is not
          specified. The specified block size will only be used pending
          support by the remote server. If the server does not return an
          option acknowledgement or returns an option acknowledgement with
          no blksize, the default of 512 bytes will be used.
                  
        * httpauth gets a new authentication methotd 'digestie', HTTP
           Digest authentication with an IE flavor. Digest authentication is
           defined in RFC2617 and is a more secure way to do authentication
           over public networks than the regular old-fashioned Basic method.
           With the IE flavor TclCurl will use a special "quirk" that IE is
           known to have used before version 7 and that some servers require
           the client to use.
          
        * proxytype may now be set to "http1.0".
          
        * New info available through the 'getinfo' command:
        
             * certinfo: The command will return a lists, the first item is
               the number of certs, and then the info about those certs. The
               info chain is provided in a series of data in the
               format "name:content" where the content is for the specific
               named data.

               NOTE: this option is only available in libcurl built with
               OpenSSL support.

    * Internal changes:

         * Update the configure/makefile scripts to TEA 3.7, please report
           any problems.
                  
    * Bug fixes:
        
         * I completely messed the option "ftpsslccc", to the point where
           all the configure options added after it wouldn't work.
