Summary: Windows x86: option --netrc uses wrong file _netrc
Initial Comment:
The Option --netrc on Win32 does not lookup the described file .netrc - it looks for _netrc.
How to reproduce it:
- Create variable Home that points to Z:\
- create the file .netrc in Z:\
- add following line to the file .netrc:
machine my_servername login my_username password my_password
run:
curl --netrc --trace-ascii %temp%\curl.log http://my_servername/any_path/index.html
curl.log shows in first line:
== Info: Couldn't find host my_servername in the _netrc file, using defaults
After creating the file _netrc curl finds user + password.
If there isn't any reason not to use .netrc, curl should use the file described in the help-output.
Curl-Deatails, OS-Details:
curl -V
curl 7.18.2 (i586-pc-mingw32msvc) libcurl/7.18.2 zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file
Features: Largefile NTLM SSPI libz
OS: Windows XP x86, Servicepack 2
