Description Daniel Stenberg 2007-11-21 09:44:37 UTC
Description of problem:
the curl package description is wrong, it mentions the following protocols to be
supported: "FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict"

Gopher was scrapped a long time ago, and curl now supports "FTP, FTPS, HTTP,
HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE" depending on how you
build it. I guess that perhaps you guys don't build it with the SSH protocols,
but the others should be there, aren't they?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.17.1

How reproducible:
I read this announcement, I don't use Fedora myself I am but the primary curl
author.
