Curl, a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting numerous transfer protocols, including proxies, cookies, and user and password authentication, has advanced to version 7.37.0 and is now available for download.

cURL stands for “Client for URLs” and comprises two projects: curl, a client-side URL transfer library, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, and other formats, and libcurl, which supports HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, and much more.

According to the changelog, IPv6 zone identifiers are now supported, --proxy-header has been added, support has been added for DIGEST-MD5 via Windows SSPI, a non-blocking SSL handshake has been added, a number of reworked Visual Studio project files have been added, and a wait_ms() function has been implemented.

Also, the login is no longer denied when the server doesn't support AUTH capability, interpreting IPv6 literals as glob patterns is now avoided, OpenSSL now mentions the exact protocol that's being negotiated, a number of compiler warnings in ALPN have been corrected, the use of non-null terminated strings has been corrected, and untagged response detection has been fixed.

A complete list of changes and new features can be found in the official announcement. You can download the Curl 7.37.0 source right now from Softpedia.
