Subject: tool_filetime: accept setting negative filetime
X-Git-Tag: curl-8_16_0~56
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54f1ef05d672453d75a5fc60f7658eaa835ce5cc;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

tool_filetime: accept setting negative filetime

This allows --remote-time to set dates before 1970.

Due to a minor omission in the API, it will still avoid setting the time
if it is indeed exactly epoch 0 (jan 1 1970).

Verified by test 762

Fixes #18424
Reported-by: Terence Eden
Closes #18443
