an update for CURL was just released this past week...

I know for DirectAdmin customers that this will be updated by DA in the very near future. We'll have this patch installed soon.

Fixed in 7.12.3

Changes:

* PKCS12 certificate support added
* added CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES (and "--engine list")
* new configure options: --disable-cookies, --disable-crypto-auth and --disable-verbose
* persistent ftp request improvements
* CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION and CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA added. If your app uses HTTP Digest, NTLM or Negotiate authentication, you will most likely want to use these
* -w time_redirect and num_redirects
* no longer uses libcurl.def for building on Windows, OS/2 and Netware
* builds on Windows CE
* request retrying, --retry and family added
* FTP 3rd party transfers with source and dest on the same host now works
* added CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS

Bugfixes:

* curl -E on windows accepts "c:/path" with forward-slash
* several improvements for large file support on windows
* file handle leak in aborted multipart formpost file upload
* -T upload multiple files with backslashes in file names
* modified credentials between two requests on a persistent http connection
* large file file:// resumes on Windows
* URLs with username and IPv6 numerical addresses
* configure works better with SSL libs in a "non-standard ld.so dir"
* curl-config --vernum zero prefixed
* bad memory access in the NTLM code
* EPSV on multi-homed servers now works correctly
* chunked-encoded transfers could get closed pre-maturely without error
* proxy CONNECT now default timeouts after 3600 seconds
* disabling EPSV or EPRT is ignored when connecting to an IPv6 FTP server
* no extra progress meter newline output after each Location: followed
* HTTP PUT/POST with Digest, NTLM or Negotiate no longer uses HEAD
* works with or gracefully bails out when exceeding FD_SETSIZE file descriptors
* CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME works
* building with gssapi libs and hdeaders in the default dirs
* curl_getdate() parsing of dates later than year 2037 with 32 bit time_t
* curl -v when stderr is closed wrote debug messages to the network socket
* build failure with libidn 0.3.X or older
* huge POSTs on VMS
* configure no longer uses pkg-config on cross-compiles
* potential gzip decompress memory leak
* "-C - --fail" on a HTTP page already downloaded
* formposting a zero byte file
* use setlocale() for better IDN functionality by default
