🠰 4.5.1 all changes 4.7 🠲
Changes in 4.6 - July 3 1998
Changes:
- Added a first attempt to optionally parse the .netrc file for login user and password. If used with http, it enables user authentication. -n is the new switch.
Bugfixes:
- Removed the extra newlines on the default user-agent string.
- Corrected the missing ftp upload error messages when it failed without the verbose flag set. Gary W. Swearingen found it.
- Now using alarm() to enable second-precision timeout even on the name resolving/connecting phase. The timeout is although reset after that first sequence. (This should be corrected.) Gary W. Swearingen <swear@aa.net> reported.
- Now spells "Unknown" properly, as in "Unknown option 'z'"... :-)
- Added bug report email address in the README.
- Added a "current speed" field to the progress meter. It shows the average speed the last 5 seconds. The other speed field shows the average speed of the entire transfer so far.
