Rob Crittenden provided an NSS update with the following highlights:

o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
those exist.

o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
certificates already in the NSS database are used.

o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
thing is done

o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
verbose mode

o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)

The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
keys.

Immanuel pointed out that public key SSH auth failed if no public/private
key was specified and there was no HOME environment variable, and then it
didn't continue to try the other auth methods. Now it will instead try to
get the files id_dsa.pub and id_dsa from the current directory if none of
the two conditions were met.

G�nter's ldap fixes

Michal Marek made libcurl automatically append ";type=<a|i>" when using HTTP
proxies for FTP urls.

Added LDAPS, SCP and SFTP to curl-config --protocols. Removed and
fixed some AC_SUBST configure entries.

Daniel S (12 September 2007)
- Bug report #1792649 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1792649) pointed
out a problem with doing an empty upload over FTP on a re-used connection.
I added test case 541 to reproduce it and to verify the fix.

- I noticed while writing test 541 that the FTP code wrongly did a CWD on the
second transfer as it didn't store and remember the "" path from the
previous transfer so it would instead CWD to the entry path as stored. This
worked, but did a superfluous command. Thus, test case 541 now also verifies
this fix.

Renamed several libcurl error codes and options to make them more general
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)

Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
out that libcurl didn't deal with large responses from server commands, when
the single response was consisting of multiple lines but of a total size of
16KB or more. Dan Fandrich improved the ftp test script and provided test
case 1006 to repeat the problem, and I fixed the code to make sure this new
test case runs fine.

free and clear the file-specific struct properly when done with it.

Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
out that libcurl didn't deal with very long (>16K) FTP server response lines
properly. Starting now, libcurl will chop them off (thus the client app will
not get the full line) but survive and deal with them fine otherwise. Test
case 1003 was added to verify this.

Based on a patch by Christian Vogt, the FTP code now sets the upcoming

CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD as soon as possible.
