I did this

Used libcurl with CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH set to true and set a CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION callback.

The curl_fileinfo argument received has time member set to 0

I expected the following

curl_fileinfo time to be set to the unix timestamp of the file.

This can be tested with this url: ftp://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/*

Acknowledged! But this functionality unfortunately never worked as it was never actually implemented. The empty date parsing function that was provided in the initial implementation from May 2010 (commit 0825cd8) was removed in 2015 in commit 86e2197.

I personally don't have any strong desire to implement this now and would probably prefer to document this struct field as always set to zero, which is the truth.

@bagder thanks for answering, makes sense for me. Library users can still parse the date string available on strings.time themselves.

The time field in the curl_fileinfo struct will always be zero. No code
was ever implemented to actually convert the date string to a time_t.

Fixes #3829
