- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares
on win32.
-
-Daniel (19 December)
-- CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE was not possible to set.
-
-- Gisle Vanem updated the djgpp build files.
-
-Daniel (18 December)
-- John McGowan reported a redirect-problem that happened if a site used a URL
- like "url.com?var=content" (without a proper slash) and from that address
- redirected the user-agent to an absolute directory.
-
-- David Byron made libcurl build fine with both the .NET and VC6 versions of
- MSVC
-
-Daniel (16 December)
-- Updated test 506 since it started to fail after the cache prune change
- yesterday. I also changed it slightly to feature a counter in each debug
- output for easier tracing.
-
-Daniel (15 December)
-- Old DNS cache entries are now only pruned after curl is done with a request,
- and not in the actual name resolve call.
-
-- corrected the --enable-ares patch
-
-- Giuseppe Attardi found and fixed a problem within libcurl that re-used
- already freed memory.
-
-Daniel (10 December)
-- Gisle Vanem reported that the dict support was broken. I broke it during my
- ftps-changes overhaul. I've now added a 'curlassert' function that can be
- used to verify expressions, to prevent future errors of the same
- kind. They're only present in debug-builds.
-
-- Diego Casorran made curl and libcurl possible to build natively (no more
- need for the ixemul library) on AmigaOS.
-
-- Dominick Meglio made configure --enable-ares support a given path to the
- installed ares lib, instead of always using it in the curl source tree.
- This also fixed the curl-config --libs output.
-
-- Eric S. Raymond patched a very minor man page format error in
- libcurl-errors.3
-
-Daniel (8 December)
-- Fixed the flaw that made -lz appear twice on the link command line.
-
-- After correspondence with Gisle Vanem, I changed the 'connection aborted'
- error text when the FTP response reader failed to more specificly identify
- what the problem is.
-
-- Based on a patch from Dominick Meglio, curl-config --feature now outputs
- 'AsynchDNS' as a feature if libcurl was built with ares. The feature name
- is the same that 'curl -V' outputs, for simplicity.
-
-Daniel (3 December)
-- Marty Kuhrt made the build up-to-date on VMS, and moved most of the VMS-
- specific stuff in the client code to a separate header file.
-
-- Steve Green fixed a return code bug in Curl_resolv(), that made the socks5
- code fail.
-
-- swalkaus at yahoo.com patched libcurl to ignore Content-Length: headers
- when Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used, as mandated by RFC2616.
-
-Daniel (2 December)
-- --ftp-pasv was added, which serves the only purpose of overriding a
- previously set --ftpport option. Starting now, --ftp-port is a recognized
- alias for --ftpport for consistency.
-
-- Giuseppe Attardi pointed out that we should use MSG_NOSIGNAL when we use
- send() and recv(). I added checks for the define in the configure script and
- adjusted the code accordingly. If the symbol is present, we won't attempt
- to ignore the SIGPIPE signal.
-
-Daniel (1 December)
-- Mathias Axelsson set up a bsdftpd-ssl server for me and I could make curl
- run fine against its FTPS implementation. Now these FTPS-related things
- work:
- o explicit and implicit FTPS
- o active (PORT) and passive (PASV)
- o upload and download
- o verified against bsdftpd-ssl and RaidenFTPD
-
-Daniel (27 November)
-- James Clancy made the Borland Makefiles up to date.
-
-- Markus Moeller improved the SPNEGO detection in the configure script.
-
-Daniel (25 November)
-- Dave May filed bug report #848371, identifying that if you'd do POST over a
- proxy to a https server, libcurl didn't POST at all, it just made a GET! It
- turned out to be because libcurl wrongly didn't consider the authentication
- "negotiation phase" to be complete yet.
-
- I added test case 95 to verify my fix for this.
-
-Daniel (24 November)
-- Thanks to Mathias Axelsson, I've been able to work on FTPS for libcurl and it
- seems to work somewhat fine now.
-
- The FTPS stuff is based on RFC2228 and the murray-auth-ftp-ssl draft
- (version 12). There seems to exist quite a few servers that have implemented
- the server side of this.
-
- We can now use ftps:// URLs to explicitly switch on SSL/TSL for the control
- connection and the data connection (dealing with two SSL connections forced
- me to change a lot of stuff in libcurl).
-
- Alternatively, and what seems to be the recommended way, we can set the new
- option CURLOPT_FTP_SSL to one of these values:
-
- CURLFTPSSL_NOPE, - do not attempt to use SSL
- CURLFTPSSL_TRY - try using SSL, proceed anyway otherwise
- CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL - SSL for the control connection or fail
- CURLFTPSSL_ALL - SSL for all communication or fail
-
- Any failure to set the desired level will make libcurl fail with the error
- code CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED. This new option makes a "normal" ftp:// transfer
- attempt to be made securely.
-
- I've been able to login and get files (passively) from Mathias' server using
- both ftps:// and CURLOPT_FTP_SSL. (I've made 'curl' understand the --ftp-ssl
- option that sets CURLFTPSSL_TRY.)
-
-- Gaz Iqbal fixed a range string memory leak.
-
-- Gisle Vanem fixed the Windows builds.
-
-- Added the new FTPSSL defines in curl/curl.h
-
-Daniel (20 November)
-- Josh Kapell filed bug report #845247 as he found an endless loop when
- getting a 407 back from a proxy when no user+password was given. Added test
- case 94 to verify the fix.
-
-Daniel (19 November)
-- Kevin Roth fixed a progress-bar problem on Windows.
-
-- While working with Nicolas Croiset's bug report #843739, I noticed two minor
- problems related to ftp partial downloads: if a partial transfer is
- detected, we must close the connection as we cannot know in what state it is
- anymore. This looks like a ProFTPD bug:
- http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-11/0079.html
-
-Daniel (17 November)
-- Maciej W. Rozycki made the configure script use a cache variable for the
- writable argv test. This way, the default can be overridden better (for
- cross-compiles etc)
-
-Daniel (15 November)
-- Mathias Axelsson found out libcurl sometimes freed the server certificate
- twice, leading to crashes!
-
-Daniel (14 November)
-- Siddhartha Prakash Jain found a case with a bad resolve that we didn't
- properly bail out from, when using ares.
-
-Daniel (13 November)
-- Default Content-Type for parts in multipart formposts has changed to
- "application/octet-stream". This seems more appropriate, and I believe
- mozilla and the likes do this. In the same area: .html files now get
- text/html as Content-Type. (Pointed out in bug report #839806)
-
-- Gisle Vanem corrected the --progress-bar output by doing a flush of the
- output, which apparently makes it look better on at least windows, but
- possibly other platforms too.
-
-- Peter Sylvester identified a problem in the connect code, which made the
- multi interface on a ipv6-enabled solaris box do bad. Test case 504 to be
- specific. I've spent some time to clean-up the Curl_connecthost() function
- now to use less duplicated code for the two different sections: ipv6 and
- ipv4.
-
-Daniel (11 November)
-- Added CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE. Use this to tell libcurl which file to use instead
- of trying to find a .netrc in the current user's home directory. The
- existing .netrc file finder is somewhat naive and is far from perfect on
- several platforms that aren't unix-style. If this option isn't set when
- CURLOPT_NETRC is set, the previous approach will still be used.
-
- The current .netrc check code now also support longer than 256 bytes path
- names.
-
-Daniel (10 November)
-- Kang-Jin Lee pointed out that the generated ca-bundle.h file shouldn't be
- written in the source dir if a different build dir is used.
-
-- After Sébastien Willemijns' bug report, we now check the separators properly
- in the 229-reply servers respond on a EPSV command and bail out better if
- the reply string is not RFC2428-compliant.
-
-Daniel (7 November)
-- Based on Gisle Vanem's patch, I made curl try harder to get the home
- directory of the current user, in order to find the default .curlrc file.
- We're also considering moving out the HOME-dir code from libcurl, and
- instead have the app pass in the path to the .netrc file (which is the only
- logic left in libcurl that uses the HOME dir). Then curl can use the home
- dir for that purpose too.
-
-- Ralph Mitchell's updated testcurl.sh to the script to take an existing
- directory name and build/run/test curl in there instead of trying to update
- from CVS. Using this approach, the script can now be used to test daily
- tarballs etc.
-
-- Gisle Vanem added a "resource file" to the Windows DLL builds, to contain
- information such as version number, library name, copyright info etc.
-
-Daniel (6 November)
-- curl checks if the existing libcurl supports things like --ntlm, --negotiate
- and --krb4 and returns error if not.
-
-- I added three new global defines in the curl/curl.h header:
- LIBCURL_VERSION_MAJOR, LIBCURL_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCURL_VERSION_PATCH. They
- are the three numbers in the library's version number, separated for easier
- usage. 'maketgz' was updated accordingly to generate these numbers properly
- when building release-archives.
-
-- Uninitialized variable fix, reported by both Marty Kuhrt and Benjamin
- Gerard.
-
-- Matt Veenstra provided build files to build libcurl as a "framework" under
- Mac OS X. See the lib/libcurl.framework.make for details.
-
-- Removed the defines of TRUE and FALSE from the curl/curl.h header file.
- They're not in our name space so we should not fiddle with them.
-
-Daniel (5 November)
-- Replaced the man page to HTML converter program with a new one: roffit.
- Makes nicer web pages.
-
-Daniel (4 November)
-- Troels Walsted Hansen fixed the MSVC makefiles to let them build curl fine
- on Windows.
-
-- Kevin Roth corrected the cygwin package generator and spell-fixed the
- comment in the ca-bundle.h file.
-
-Version 7.10.8 (1 November 2003)
-
-Daniel (31 October)
-- Assume that MDTM on an FTP server returns the timestamp using the UTC time
- zone. This changes the time CURLINFO_FILETIME returns for a given file over
- FTP, and will change existing uses of CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION. It will make
- the functionality more similar to how the HTTP one is already working.
-
-- Command line options that take numerical parameters (such as -y, -Y, -C etc)
- now report error and exit if the parameter isn't truly a number greater than
- or equal to zero. This helps users to notice bad usage earlier. Before, when
- a user forgot or missed to add a numerical parameter to an option, the
- command line parser would simply "eat" the following option and it would
- cause great confusion.
-
-Daniel (30 October)
-- David Hull made libcurl deal with NOBODY and HEADER for file:// the same way
- it already does for FTP: it provides HTTP-looking headers that provide info
- only about the file, without doing the actual transfer. The curl tool then
- lets --head do this.
-
-Daniel (29 October)
-- runtests.pl now checks for and use valgrind if present. It will redirect the
- valgrind results in log/valgrind[num] but it currently doesn't scan that
- file for any errors or anything, that is still only made manually.
-
-- David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file
- syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.
-
-Daniel (28 October)
-- Dan C tracked down yet another weird behavior in the glibc gethostbyname_r()
- function for some specific versions (reported on 2.2.5 and 2.1.1), and
- provided a fix. On Linux machines with these glibc versions, non-ipv6
- builds of libcurl would often fail to resolve perfectly resolvable host
- names.
-
-Daniel (26 October)
-- James Bursa found out that curl_msnprintf() could write the trailing
- zero-byte outside its given buffer size. This could happen if you generated
- a very long error message as then libcurl would overwrite the ERRORBUFFER
- with one byte. Using a non-existing very long local file:// name is one case
- that could make this occur.
-
-Daniel (24 October)
-- David Hull filed bug report #829827. It identified a problem with -C - if
- the full file already was downloaded and thus the server responded with a
- 416. libcurl would then wrongly use the Content-Length: header and expect
- that size to get transfer, causing a "hang" until the server closed the
- connection and then an error 18 ("still N bytes data left of the transfer").
-
- Now we don't return any error at all, but I think libcurl should perhaps
- return some kind of info since the requested range was out of the size of
- the document.
-
-- Based on David Hull's fix in bug report #804599, we now check for solaris and
- gcc in configure and set the -mimpure-text link flag for linking the lib
- better.
-
-- I've introduced a -t option to the runtests.pl script. With that option set,
- the script runs special "memory torture" tests. For each test command line
- in that section, the script first runs the command line and counts the total
- amount of allocations made. It then runs the exact same command line again,
- forcing allocation number N to fail. It will try every N from 1 to the total
- number of amounts made. For every invoke, it checks that no memory was
- leaked as that would indicate a bad cleanup somewhere in the code.
-
- This is just beginning to work, and I've already made some corrections in
- libcurl code. When this code works somewhat fine, I'll make sure 'make test'
- in the root dir will run these tests as well.
-
-Daniel (23 October)
-- Georg Horn fixed how the CA verification is made. Verifications can now be
- made while at the same time the result of it can be ignored. This also
- affects the curl tool as -k can now be used together with --cacert or
- --capath.
-
-Daniel (22 October)
-- Gisle Vanem found out --disable-eprt didn't work and patched it.
-
-- Test case 91 was modified and could now repeat the problem Kevin Roth has
- reported, and the bug was fixed.
-
-- Dylan Ellicott added vc-libcurl-ssl-dll as a target to the root makefile
- to build a static libcurl that links with a shared OpenSSL using MSVC.
-
-Daniel (21 October)
-- Andrés García updated the mingw32 makefiles.
-
-Version 7.10.8-pre5 (21 October 2003)
-
-Daniel (19 October)
-- Georg Horn made libcurl output more info on SSL failures when receiving
- data.
-
-Version 7.10.8-pre4 (18 October 2003)
-
-Daniel (17 October)
-- Dominick Meglio implemented CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE and --max-filesize.
-
-- Made libcurl show verbose info about what auth type and user name that is
- being sent in its HTTP request-headers.
-
-Daniel (16 October)
-- Removed support for CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION and CURLOPT_PASSWDDATA. libcurl
- no longer prompt for passwords under any circumstances. Password prompting
- was instead moved to curl, which now prompts for password if -u or -U lack
- it. This solves the problem Kevin Roth reported when curl prompted for
- password twice when doing NTLM authentication.
-
-- I rewrote the SSL subjectAltName check to avoid having to rely on OpenLDAP-
- licensed derivate code.
-
-Daniel (15 October)
-- Avoid doing getsockopt() on Windows to verify connects. It seems that this
- hogs Windows machines when libcurl is being used multi-threaded (with > ~50
- threads). Andrew Fuller helped us verify and test this.
-
-Daniel (14 October)
-- Kimmo Kinnunen fixed a crash with duphandle() when CURLDEBUG is set.
-
-- Gisle Vanem made libcurl build and work with IPv6 on Windows.
-
-Daniel (13 October)
-- Giuseppe Attardi reported yet another segfault with ares and the multi
- interface. Me fixed.
-
-- Domenico Andreoli removed the extra LDFLAGS assignment in lib/Makefile.am
- that was reported about in the debian bug report #212086.
-
- Domenico also fixed two makefiles where we used 'gnroff' instead of the more
- portable $(NROFF).
-
-Daniel (12 October)
-- Dirk Manske made the share locking around DNS lookups slightly different to
- allow the share system's DNS lookups to run somewhat more
- independent/faster.
-
-Daniel (9 October)
-- Lachlan O'Dea fixed a resume problem: "If I set CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, perform
- an HTTP download, then reset CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM to 0, the next download
- still has a Range header with a garbage value." bug report #820502
-
-- Dominick Meglio made the inet_pton.c file build fine using MSVC.
-
-- The 'sws' test suite web server now #include setup.h from the lib directory.
- This makes it more portable easier.
-
-Version 7.10.8-pre3 (8 October 2003)
-
-Daniel (8 October)
-- Frank Ticheler provided a patch that fixes how libcurl connects to multiple
- addresses, if one of them fails (ipv4-code).
-
-Daniel (7 October)
-- Neil Dunbar provided a patch that now makes libcurl check SSL
- subjectAltNames when matching certs. This is apparently detailed in RFC2818
- as the right thing to do. I had to add configure checks for inet_pton() and
- our own (strictly speaking, code from BIND written by Paul Vixie) provided
- code for the function for platforms that miss it.
-
-- HTTP POST using the read callback didn't work, as Florian Schoppmann
- reported.
-
-Daniel (5 October)
-- Shared provided a few fixes to make libcurl build on BeOS
- out-of-the-box. New code for BeOS-style non-blocking sockets, provided by
- Shard and Jeremy Friesner. Modified the autoconf check for non-blocking
- sockets to check for this kind too.
-
-Daniel (4 October)
-- Vincent Bronner pointed out that if you set CURLOPT_COOKIE for a transfer
- and then set it to NULL in a subsequent one, the previous cookie was still
- sent off!
-
-- Jon Turner fixed a problem libcurl had when it failed on an FTP transfer due
- to a bad path, it would cause the next transfer to use a bad path as well.
-
-- Siddhartha Prakash Jain provided a patch with a fix for libcurl with ares,
- when working on IP-only names as we then could return "wait" status when the
- name in fact already was resolved. I edited the patch slightly to not expose
- asynch details to non-ares aware source code.
-
-Daniel (3 October)
-- Neil Spring posted the debian bug report #213180, and pointed out that using
- the name 'access' in a function prototype is not very wise as some compilers
- complain.
-
-- Peter Sylvester provided his and Jean-Paul Merlin's curlx.c example source
- code that shows how they use ssl and callbacks.
-
-Daniel (2 October)
-- James MacMillan's patch makes curl build on QNX 6.2.x.
-
-Daniel (26 September)
-- My daughter was born!
-
-Daniel (23 September)
-- Added support for -4/--ipv4 and -6/--ipv6 to force names to resolve to that
- particular IP version. They only work for IPv6-enabled libcurls.
-
-- curl -V now outputs 'SPNEGO' as a feature in case libcurl was built to
- support that.
-
-Version 7.10.8-pre2 (22 September 2003)
-
-Daniel (22 September)
-- Giuseppe Attardi found a segfault in libcurl when using the multi interface
- with ares and doing repeated operations against a non-resolving host name.
-
-Daniel (19 September)
-- Added the CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE option, that allows an application to select
- what kind of IP addresses he wants to use when resolving host names. This
- is only interesting when using host names that resolve addresses using more
- than one version of IP.
-
-- Applied Markus Moeller's patch that introduces SPNEGO support if libcurl
- is built with the FBopenssl libraries. curl_version_info() now returns
- info on SPNEGO availability. The patch also made the GSSAPI stuff work fine
- with the MIT GSS-library (the Heimdal one still works too).
-
-Daniel (16 September)
-- Doing PUT with --digest failed, as reported in bug report #805853.
-
-- Using --anyauth that picked NTLM, and then a redirect closed the connection
- and took curl to a second NTLM page made curl fail. Bug report #806328
- identified the problem, test case 90 was added to verify the fix.
-
-Daniel (14 September)
-- codemastr brought a patch for ares to make the Windows portions of it work
- properly on NT4. I uploaded a new diff and updated the docs on where to get
- it etc.
-
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer tracked down a very hard-to-find bug where we removed a
- cached DNS entry even though it may be in use, which caused "random" memory
- to get overwritten and thus "random" crashes.
-
-Daniel (12 September)
-- Based on a bug report by David Kimdon, I made the runtests.pl script clear
- all possible proxy environment variables before the tests are run.
-
-- By default, easy handles within a multi handle now share DNS cache.
-
-- Tim Bartley brought a patch that makes the GSSNEGOTIATE option work for
- Microsoft's "Negotiate" authentication as well.
-
-Daniel (11 September)
-- A zero-length proxy string confused FTP transfers.
-
-- Bjorn Reese found a case with an uninitialized pointer, only present when
- built for ares.
-
-Version 7.10.8-pre1 (8 September 2003)
-
-Daniel (7 September)
-- Jurij Smakov found out that the non-OpenSSL MD5 code was not working on
- Alpha (or ia64). Only the OpenSSL-version did. I made a fix I think corrects
- the problem.
-
-Daniel (5 September)
-- Kevin Fisk reported that configure --enable-thread didn't work. I fixed.
-
-- De-macrofied the lib/hash.c source code somewhat.
-
-Daniel (4 September)
-- CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL and CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL added, Based on Joerg
- Mueller-Tolk's patch,
-
-Early (4 September)
-- Added CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - allows user to set strict timeout
- requirements on the FTP server's ability to respond to individual commands
- without placing global requirements on transfer or connect time. Files
- affected:
- - include/curl/curl.h
- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
- - lib/ftp.c
- Added branch inside Curl_GetFTPResponse to check for
- data->set.ftp_response_timeout
- - lib/url.c
- Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
- - lib/urldata.h
- Added ftp_response_timeout to struct UserDefined
-
-Daniel (3 September)
-- Peter Pentchev found and fixed two problems in the test suite's web server
- code, that made it segfault at times.
-
-- Jörg Mueller-Tolk improved the proxy user+password handling, especially
- when providing a blank password.
-
-Daniel (2 September)
-- Fix for making CONNECT to proxies do the correct magic to allow NTLM, Digest
- and similar to work.
-
-Daniel (1 September)
-- Henrik Storner made libcurl work fine with OpenLDAP 2.1.22 (current).
-
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer added a proper error message for non-resolving hosts when
- using ares for lookups.
-
-Daniel (25 August)
-- John McGowan reported that curl -k still failed if the HTTPS server's CN
- field wasn't obtainable. This was due to the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST being
- set to 1, and libcurl failed if the CN was missing. Starting now, having it
- set to 1 will simply output a warning if no CN could be obtained (as having
- a mismatch is OK).
-
-Daniel (21 August)
-- Vincent Sanders provided a fix for name resolving when linked with uClibc.
-
-Daniel (20 August)
-- Gerd v. Egidy provided a patch that makes libcurl store the FTP response
- code from ftp servers. Using curl_easy_getinfo() with CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE
- returns that data. The option is therefore now also known as
- CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE.
-
-- Antoine Calando found a segfault when doing multi-part/formpost using
- the multi interface.
-
-- Antoine Calando pointed out that curl_multi_info_read() didn't set the
- msgs_in_queue to 0 properly when returning NULL.
-
-Daniel (19 August)
-- I made curl support multiple -T options, as well as -T "{file1,file2}"
- style globbing. One -T for each URL is supported.
-
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer found a segfault when using ares-enabled libcurl and the
- multi interface when trying a non-existing host name.
-
-- Made the libcurl printf code support long longs if available.
-
-- Loren Kirkby pointed out that we did not clean up all SSL-allocated memory
- in curl_global_cleanup().
-
-Daniel (17 August)
-- Setting CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or CURLOPT_READFUNCTION to NULL will now make
- them get the internal defaults restored. Previously this could cause a
- segfault. We should aim at having all pointer-related options get restored
- to default/safe values when set to NULL.
-
-Version 7.10.7 (15 August 2003)
-
-Daniel (14 August)
-- I modified the memdebug system to return failure on memory allocation
- functions after a set amount of successful ones. This enables us to test
- out-of-memory situations in a controlled manner and we can make sure that
- curl/libcurl behaves good in those.
-
- This made me find and fix several spots where we did not cleanup properly
- when bailing out due to errors (low memory).
-
-- Corrected test case 74. Made using -o with bad #[num] codes complain and
- bail out. Made #[num] support numbers larger than 9 as well. Added test
- case 86 for a proper range globbing test as well.
-
-Version 7.10.7-pre4 (12 August 2003)
-
-Daniel (12 August)
-- curl_version_info() now returns a flag if libcurl was built with asynch DNS
- support, and this is now also displayed with 'curl -V'.
-
-- Added a few new man pages to the docs/libcurl dir: curl_share_init,
- curl_share_setopt, curl_share_cleanup, libcurl-easy and libcurl-share.
-
-Daniel (11 August)
-- Mike Cherepov made the local binding code work for Windows, which makes
- the option CURLOPT_INTERFACE work on Windows as well.
-
-- Vincent Sanders updated the fopen.c example code a lot.
-
-- --proxy-ntlm is now supported by the curl tool. It forces the proxy
- authentication to be made using NTLM. It does not yet work for HTTPS over
- proxies (or other proxy-tunneling options). Test case 81 and 82 do some
- simple initial ntlm testing.
-
-- Found and fixed a minor memory leak on re-used connections with
- proxy-authentication.
-
-- I removed -@ and -Z as valid short options. They were very rarely used (@
- wasn't even documented).
-
-- Serge Semashko introduced CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, and make it work when set to
- CURLAUTH_NTLM and/or CURLAUTH_BASIC. The PROXAUTH is similar to HTTPAUTH,
- but is for the proxy connection only, and HTTPAUTH is for the remote host.
-
-- Fixed loading of cookies with blank contents from a cookie jar. Also made the
- cookie functions inform on added and skipped cookies (for cookie debugging).
-
-Version 7.10.7-pre3 (8 August 2003)
-
-Daniel (8 August)
-- Applied David Byron's fix for file:// URLs with drive letters included.
-
-- I added the --ftp-create-dirs to the client code, which activates Early's
- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option, and wrote test case 147 to verify
- it. Added the option to the curl.1 man page too. Added the option to the
- curl_easy_setopt.3 man page too.
-
-Daniel (7 August)
-- Test case 60 failed on ia64 and AMD Opteron. Fixed now.
-
-- Fixed a printf problem that resulted in urlglobbing bugs (bug #203827 in the
- debian bug tracker). Added test case 74 to verify the fix and to discover if
- this breaks in the future.
-
-- "make distcheck" works again.
-
-Version 7.10.7-pre2 (6 August 2003)
-
-Daniel (5 August)
-- Duncan Wilcox helped me verify that the latest incarnation of my ares patch
- builds fine on Mac OS X (see the new lib/README.ares) file for all details.
-
-- Salvatore Sorrentino filed bug report #783116 and Early Ehlinger posted a
- bug report to the libcurl list, both identifying a problem with FTP
- persistent connections and how the dir hierarchy was not properly reset
- between files.
-
-- David Byron's thoughts on a fixed Makefile in tests/ were applied.
-
-- Jan Sundin reported a case where curl ignored a cookie that browsers don't,
- which turned up to be due to the number of dots in the 'domain'. I've now
- made curl follow the the original netscape cookie spec less strict on that
- part.
-
-Daniel (4 August)
-- Dirk Manske added cookie support for the experimental, hidden and still
- undocumented share feature!
-
-- Mark Fletcher provided an excellent bug report that identified a problem
- with FOLLOWLOCATION and chunked transfer-encoding, as libcurl would not
- properly ignore the body contents of 3XX response that included the
- Location: header.
-
-Early (6 August)
-- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
- This option will force the target file's path to be created if it
- does not already exist on the remote system.
-
- Files affected:
- - include/curl/curl.h
- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
- - lib/ftp.c
- Added function ftp_mkd, which issues a MKD command
- Added function ftp_force_cwd, which attempts a CWD,
- and does a MKD and retries the CWD if the original CWD
- fails
- Modified ftp_perform() to call its change directory function
- through a pointer. The pointer points to ftp_cwd by default,
- and is modified to point to ftp_force_cwd IFF
- data->set.ftp_create_missing_dirs is not 0.
- - lib/url.c
- Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
- - lib/urldata.h
- Added ftp_create_missing_dirs to struct UserDefined
-
-- Minor Bugfix for CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION with FTP - if the file was not
- present to do the time comparison, it would fail.
- Files affected:
- - lib/ftp.c
- In ftp_perform(), the call to ftp_getfiletime() used to be followed
- by
- if (result)
- return result;
- And then by the code that actually did the time comparison.
- The code that did the comparison handled the case where the filetime
- was not available (as indicated by info.filetime < 0 or set.timevalue
- < 0), so I replaced the if (result) return result with a switch(result)
- that allows CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE to fall through to the
- normal time comparison.
-
-Daniel (3 August)
-- When proxy authentication is used in a CONNECT request (as used for all SSL
- connects and otherwise enforced tunnel-thru-proxy requests), the same
- authentication header is also wrongly sent to the remote host.
-
- This is a rather significant info leak. I've fixed it now and mailed a patch
- and warning to the mailing lists.
-
-Daniel (1 August)
-- David Byron provided a patch to make 7.10.6 build correctly with the
- compressed hugehelp.c source file.
-
-Version 7.10.7-pre1 (31 July 2003)
-
-Daniel (30 July)
-- Jörg Müller-Tolk updated the VC makefile.
-
-- Daniel Noguerol made the ftp code output "Accept-Ranges: bytes" in similar
- style like other faked HTTP headers when NOBODY and HEADER are used. I
- updated two corresponding test cases too.
-
-- Marty Kuhrt pointed out a compilation problem on VMS due to my having
- changed a type from long to time_t, and I'm now changing it back to work
- more portably...
-
- He also indicated that distributing the src/hugehelp.c in a compressed state
- like I accidentally did may not be the smartest move... I've now fixed the
- distribute procedure to automatically generate an uncompressed version when I
- make release archives.
-
-Daniel (29 July)
-- Gisle Vanem brought changes to the mkhelp script for the generation of the
- compressed help text on some platforms.
-
-Version 7.10.6 (28 July 2003)
-
-Daniel (28 July)
-- François Pons brought a patch that once again made curl deal with ftp and
- "double slash" as indicating the root directory. In the RFC1738-fix of April
- 30, that ability was removed (since it is not the "right" way). So, starting
- now we can list the root dir of an ftp server both these ways:
-
- curl ftp://server.com/%2f as well as
- curl ftp://server.com//
-
-Daniel (24 July)
-- Henry Bland pointed out that we included sys/resource.h without good reason
- in several source files. Without it included, QNX builds better...
-
-- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.
-
-Daniel (23 July)
-- Tracy Boehrer experienced DNS cache problems and did some nice debugging
- and tracking which made it easy for me to correct the problem and Tracy
- could verify that it did cure the problem! When re-using a connection we
- now make sure we don't re-use the 'connect_addr' struct.
-
-- Daniel Kouril corrected the GSS-Negotiate code.
-
-- Juan F. Codagnone provided fixes to allow curl to build fine on Windows
- again.
-
-Daniel (22 July)
-- Edited the curl/curl.h include file to build on Windows properly.
-
-Daniel (21 July)
-- Moved the proxy credentials from the SessionHandle struct to the connectdata
- struct, to make multiple proxy connections with differerent user names work.
-
-- Adjusted the NTLM code to support proxy functionality.
-
-- Made the krb4 stuff compile with the user+password fields moved.
-
-Version 7.10.6-pre4 (21 July 2003)
-
-Daniel (20 July)
-- David Gardner pointed out in bug report 770755 that using the FTP command
- CWD with a blank argument is a bad idea and I made libcurl skip empty path
- segments starting now.
-
-Daniel (18 July)
-- Cris pointed out that my fix on July 16th didn't work fully. His pointing
- out this (and his patch) also made me realize that we have a very similar
- bug in the FTP connection re-use code. We must store a separate user and
- password field for each connection we keep (at least for FTP and HTTP+NTLM
- connections, so I made us do this unconditionally).
-
-- Since NTLM authenticates connections instead of single requests, I had to
- re-arrange how we store the NTLM data and I had to improve the test suite to
- finally work properly with persistency to make the NTLM tests run fine
- again. This also forced me to have to update lots of HTTP test cases.
-
-Daniel (16 July)
-- Cris Bailiff's bug report 768275 pointed out that using Basic auth with
- wrong user+password caused an endless loop. Fixed now. He also found out that
- we didn't properly authenticate connections with NTLM. Fixed too.
-
-- Dan Winship provided fixes for the NTLM code.
-
-Daniel (5 July)
-- Doug Kaufman provided additional fixes for the DOS port.
-
-Daniel (4 July)
-- Rick Richardson pointed out that using setvbuf() to achieve non-buffering
- on output is no-good for SCO Xenix and other unixes. We switched over to
- using plain fflush() instead.
-
-- Dan Grayson pointed out that we set the CURL_CA_BUNDLE variable wrongly in
- the configure script, and I had to change some build stuff to make the new
- way work.
-
-- Peter Sylvester's patch was applied that introduces the following:
-
- CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION to set a callback that gets called with the
- OpenSSL's ssl_ctx pointer passed in and allow a callback to act on it. If
- anything but CURLE_OK is returned, that will also be returned by libcurl
- all the way back. If this function changes the CURLOPT_URL, libcurl will
- detect this and instead go use the new URL.
-
- CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA is a pointer you set to get passed to the callback set
- with CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION.
-
-Daniel (1 July)
-- David Byron provided a patch that allows a client to quit the test suite's
- HTTP server.
-
-- Gisle Vanem found and patched a lib handle leak in the ldap code.
-
-Daniel (25 June)
-- More NTLM-improvements. Less code. Smaller packets back and forth.
-
-Daniel (23 June)
-- Eric Glass provided us with a better doc on NTLM details, and I added more
- comments and clarified the current code more. Using the new knowledge, we
- should be able to make the NTLM stuff work even better.
- Eric's original URL: http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html
- Version stored and provided at curl site: http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html
-
-- Fixed the minor compile problems pre3 had if built without GSSAPI and/or
- SSL.
-
-Version 7.10.6-pre3 (19 June 2003)
-
-Daniel (19 June)
-- Made curl use curl_free() on memory returned by curl_getenv(), as this
- should theoreticly make it possibly to build and run curl and libcurl with
- different memory allocation schemes with no problems.
-
-Daniel (18 June)
-- Improved the mkhelp.pl a bit further to make a nicer hugehelp text and to
- include a better comment in the top for the gzip compressed version.
-
-Daniel (17 June)
-- CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is now a bitmask, in which you set which authentication
- type(s) you want to use. If more than one is set, libcurl will use one of
- the selected one and the one it considers is more secure. Test case 67 and
- 68 (for NTLM) were fixed and we've reduced a round-trip for specific --ntlm
- fetches, and test case 69 and 70 were added for testing authentication
- "picking". --anyauth is the new command line tool option, and I also added
- --basic for completeness (that's the default type).
-
-- Fixed the runtests.pl script to use the info provided by the new curl -V
- output.
-
-- --enable-debug now sets the CURLDEBUG define instead of MALLOCDEBUG, as it
- is meant to be a generic debug conditional.
-
-- curl_version_info() can now return CURL_VERSION_DEBUG as a feature bit, to
- indicate that the library was built with CURLDEBUG set.
-
-- Ralph Mitchell found out that some web applications very badly uses white
- spaces in Location: redirects, and apparently IE is a browser (the only
- one?) that supports this abomination. Based on Ralph's patch, I added code
- that now attempts to replace white spaces with the proper "%20" or "+".
- Test case 40 and 42 were added to verify my changes.
-
-- curl -V now also outputs a list of features the available library offers (if
- any).
-
-- The curl_version() string now includes "GSS" if libcurl is built with GSSAPI
- support.
-
-- David Orrell reported that libcurl still crashed when sending HUGE requests
- over HTTPS... I fixed.
-
-Version 7.10.6-pre2 (16 June 2003)
-
-Daniel (16 June)
-- curl_version_info() now returns bitmasked information weather NTLM and
- GSSNEGOTIATE are supported, since it is doomed to vary on different
- installations.
-
-- I remade the HTTP Digest code to use the MD5-code provided by OpenSSL if
- that is present, and only use our own MD5-code if it isn't.
-
-Daniel (13 June)
-- More NTLM help, fixes and patches from Cris Bailiff.
-
-- Marty Kuhrt brought include fixes for making VMS builds warning-free.
-
-Daniel (12 June)
-- NTLM authentication works somewhat against the test servers provided by
- Mathias Axelsson and Cris Bailiff. Use by setting CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH to
- CURLAUTH_NTLM to libcurl, or --ntlm for the curl tool. Test case 67 and 68
- were added for this. NTLM-support requires OpenSSL.
-
-- Dan Fandrich provided a patch, that granted that gzip and libz are available
- at build-time, compresses the hugehelp text in the curl command line and
- uncompresses it at request. Saves some ~60K in the final output executable.
-
-Daniel (11 June)
-- Long day of fighting the NTLM demons.
-
-Daniel (10 June)
-- Modified how to set auth type to libcurl. Now use CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH instead,
- and pick method. Supported ones currently are:
- CURLAUTH_BASIC - default selection
- CURLAUTH_DIGEST - formerly CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST
- CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE
-
-- Daniel Kouril added HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication support, as defined in
- the IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. In use already by various
- Microsoft web applications. --negotiate is the new family member. To take
- advantage of this, you need one of these packages:
-
- o Heimdal Kerberos5 http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/heimdal.html
- o GSSAPI from Globus http://www.globus.org/
- o GSSAPI libraries from MIT Kerberos5 http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
-
-- A missing ending bracket (']') while doing URL globbing could lead to a
- segfault. While fixing this, I also introduced better error reporting in the
- globbing code. (All this is application code outside libcurl.)
-
-Daniel (6 June)
-- David Orrell found out that sending a huge GET request over HTTPS could
- make libcurl fail and return an error code.
-
-Daniel (2 June)
-- Richard Bramante found out that "Content-Length: 0" was not properly used by
- libcurl if the response-headers indicated that the connection would be
- closed.
-
-- David Byron's patch was applied, that makes the --progress-bar take the
- local size into account when doing resumed downloads.
-
-- Feedback from Serge Semashko made me change the error message returned when
- CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR is returned.
-
-- Anonymous in bug report #745122 pointed out that we should really be using
- SSL_CTX_set_options(... SSL_OP_ALL) to work around flaws in existing SSL
- implementations.
-
-Daniel (27 May)
-- Andreas Ley and Rich Gray helped me point out that no version of HP-UX has
- the sys/select.h header file so including it unconditionally in curl/multi.h
- is not a good thing. Now we check for HPUX and avoid using that header on
- such systems.
-
-- Rudy Koento experienced problems with curl's recent habit of POSTing data in
- two separate send() calls, first the headers and then the data. I've now
- made a fix that for static and known content that is less than 100K in size,
- everything is now sent in one single system call again. This is also better
- for network performance reasons.
-
-- I modified the main makefile to not build the test suite and a few other
- unnecessary things by default. Now, the test suite is built when 'make test'
- is run. This reduces build time for those who don't care for the test
- suite, and it also reduces confusion for people using platforms where the
- test suite build fails!
-
-Daniel (26 May)
-- Chris Lewis pointed out a flaw in the #ifdefs in curl/multi.h for Windows,
- which is now corrected.
-
-- Jis Joy found another flaw in the SOCK5 code, as libcurl treated the socks5
- proxy a little too much like as if it was a http proxy.
-
-Daniel (23 May)
-- Ricardo Cadime found a socket leak when listing directories without
- contents. Test cases 144 and 145 were added to verify the fix.
-
-- Rudy Koento found yet another problem when a HTTP server returns only a
- single-line of contents without any headers at all. libcurl then failed to
- count the data, thus returning error 52 "no contents". Test case 66 was
- added to verify that we now do right.
-
-Version 7.10.6-pre1 (23 May 2003)
-
-Daniel (23 May)
-- Jis in bug report #741841, fixed a bug in the SOCKS5 proxy-using code.
-
-Daniel (22 May)
-- David Remahl set up a test-server for me providing Digest authentication,
- and I wrote the first working code that support it. The test suite was
- modified slightly as well to work better for it and --digest was added to
- the command line options (and CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST to the library)... RFC2617
- has all the gory details.
-
-Daniel (21 May)
-- David Balazic pointed out that curl_unescape() didn't check that %-codes
- were correctly followed by two hexadecimal digits when it unescape strings.
- Now, we do the check and only %XX codes are unescaped if the X letters are
- hexadecimals.
-
-- Gisle Vanem made curl build with djgpp on DOS.
-
-- Gisle Vanem improved the mkhelp.pl script to make a nicer manual that is
- shown with curl -M.
-
-Daniel (20 May)
-- Gisle Vanem provided a fix that makes libcurl more conservative, not
- expecting h_aliases of the hostent struct to always be non-NULL.
-
-Daniel (19 May)
-- As requested by Martin Michlmayr in Debian bug report #193630, libcurl now
- supports user name and password in the proxy environment variables. Added
- test case 63 to verify this.
-
-Version 7.10.5 (19 May 2003)
-
-Daniel (15 May)
-- Changed the order for the in_addr_t testing, as 'unsigned long' seems to be
- a very common type inet_addr() returns.
-
-Daniel (14 May)
-- George Comninos provided a fix that calls the progress meter when waiting
- for FTP command responses take >1 second. It'll make applications more
- "responsive" even when dealing with very slow ftp servers.
-
-Daniel (12 May)
-- George Comninos pointed out that libcurl uploads had two quirks:
- o when using FTP PORT command, it used blocking sockets!
- o it could loop a long time without doing progress meter updates
- Both items are fixed now.
-
-Daniel (9 May)
-- Dan Fandrich changed CURLOPT_ENCODING to select all supported encodings if
- set to "". This frees the application from having to know which encodings
- the library supports.
-
-- Dan Fandrich pointed out we had three unnecessary files in CVS that is
- generated with libtoolize, so they're now removed and libtoolize is invoked
- accordingly in the buildconf script.
-
-- Avery Fay found out that the CURLOPT_INTERFACE way of first checking if the
- given name is a network interface gave a real performance penalty on Linux,
- so now we more appropriately first check if it is an IP number and if so
- we don't check for a network interface with that name.
-
-- CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT added. Set this to FALSE to disable libcurl's attempts
- to use EPRT and LPRT before the traditional PORT command. The command line
- tool sets this option with '--disable-eprt'.
-
-Version 7.10.5-pre2 (6 May 2003)
-
-Daniel (6 May)
-- Kevin Delafield reported another case where we didn't correctly check for
- EAGAIN but only EWOULDBLOCK, which caused badness on HPUX.
-
-Daniel (4 May)
-- Ben Greear noticed that the check for 'writable argv' exited the configure
- script when run for cross-compiling, which wasn't nice. Now it'll default to
- no and output a warning about the fact that it was not checked for.
-
-Daniel (2 May)
-- Added test case 62 and fixed some more on the cookie sending with a custom
- Host: header set.
-
-Daniel (1 May)
-- Andy Cedilnik fixed a few compiler warnings.
-
-- Made the "SSL read error: 5" error message more verbose, by adding code that
- queries the OpenSSL library to fill in the error buffer.
-
-Daniel (30 Apr)
-- Added sys/select.h include in the curl/multi.h file, after having been
- reminded about this by Rich Gray.
-
-- I made each test set its own server requirements, thus abandoning the
- previous system where the test number implied what server(s) to use for a
- specific test.
-
-- David Balazic made curl more RFC1738-compliant for FTP URLs, by fixing so
- that libcurl now uses one CWD command for each path part. A bunch of test
- cases were fixed to work accordingly.
-
-- Cookie fixes:
-
- A. Save domains in jars like Mozilla does. It means all domains set in
- Set-Cookie: headers are dot-prefixed.
- B. Save and use the 'tailmatch' field in the Mozilla/Netscape cookie jars
- (the second column).
- C. Reject cookies using illegal domains in the Set-Cookie: line. Concerns
- both domains with too few dots or domains that are outside the currently
- operating server host's domain.
- D. Set the path part by default to the one used in the request, if none was
- set in the Set-Cookie line.
-
- To make item C really good, I also made libcurl notice custom Host: headers
- and extract the host name set in there and use that as the host name for the
- site we're getting the cookies from. This allows user to specify a site's
- IP-address, but still be able to receive and send its cookies properly if
- you provide a valid Host: name for the site.
-
-Daniel (29 Apr)
-- Peter Kovacs provided a patch that makes the CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME work fine
- when using the multi interface (too).
-
-Version 7.10.5-pre1 (23 Apr 2003)
-
-Daniel (23 Apr)
-- Upgraded to libtool 1.5.
-
-Daniel (22 Apr)
-- Peter Sylvester pointed out that curl_easy_setopt() will always (wrongly)
- return CURLE_OK no matter what happens.
-
-- Dan Fandrich fixed some gzip decompression bugs and flaws.
-
-Daniel (16 Apr)
-- Fixed minor typo in man page, reported in the Debian bug tracker.
-
-Daniel (15 Apr)
-- Fixed some FTP tests in the test suite that failed on my Solaris host, due
- to the config.h not being included before the system headers. When done that
- way, it did get a mixed sense of if big files are supported or not and then
- stat() and fstat() (as used in test case 505) got confused and failed to
- return a proper file size.
-
-- Formposting a file using a .html suffix is now properly set to Content-Type: text/html.
-
-Daniel (14 Apr)
-- Fixed the SSL error handling to return proper SSL error messages again, they
- broke in 7.10.4. I also attempt to track down CA cert problems and then
- return the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code.
-
-- The curl tool now intercepts the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code and displays
- a fairly big and explanatory error message. Kevin Roth helped me out with
- the wording.
-
-Daniel (11 Apr)
-- Nic Hines provided a second patch for gzip decompression, and fixed a bug
- when deflate or gzip contents were downloaded using chunked encoding.
-
-- Dan Fandrich made libcurl support automatic decompression of gzip contents
- (as an addition to the previous deflate support).
-
-- I made the CWD command during FTP session consider all 2xy codes to be OK
- responses.
-
-Daniel (10 Apr)
-- Vlad Krupin fixed a URL parsing issue. URLs that were not using a slash
- after the host name, but still had "?" and parameters appended, as in
- "http://hostname.com?foobar=moo", were not properly parsed by libcurl.
-
-Daniel (9 Apr)
-- Made CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION work for FTP transfers, using the same syntax as
- for HTTP. This then made -z work for ftp transfers too. Added test case 139
- and 140 for verifying this.
-
-- Getting the file date of an ftp file used the wrong time zone when
- displayed. It is supposedly always GMT. Added test case 141 for this.
-
-- Made the test suite's FTP server support MDTM.
-
-- The default DEBUGFUNCTION, as enabled with CURLOPT_VERBOSE now outputs
- CURLINFO_HEADER_IN data as well. The most notable effect from this is that
- using curl -v, you get to see the incoming "headers" as well. This is
- perhaps most useful when doing ftp.
-
-Daniel (8 Apr)
-- James Bursa fixed a flaw in the Content-Type extraction code, which missed
- the first letter if no space followed the colon.
-
-- Magnus Nilsson pointed out that share.c was missing in the MSVC project
- file.
-
-Daniel (6 Apr)
-- Ryan Weaver provided a patch that makes the CA cert bundle not get installed
- anymore when 'configure --without-ssl' has been used.
-
-Daniel (4 Apr)
-- Martijn Broenland found another cases where a server application didn't
- like the boundary string used by curl when doing a multi-part/formpost. We
- modified the boundary string to look like the one IE uses, as this is
- probably gonna make curl work with more applications.
-
-Daniel (3 Apr)
-- Kevin Roth reported that a bunch of tests fails on cygwin. One set fails
- when using perl 5.8 (and they run fine with perl 5.6), and another set
- failed because of an artifact in the test suite's FTP server that I
- corrected. It turned out the FTP server code was still having a file opened
- while the main test script removed it and invoked the HTTP server that
- attempted to create the same file name of the file the FTP server kept open.
- This operation works fine on unix, but not on cygwin.
-
-Version 7.10.4 (2 Apr 2003)
-
-Daniel (1 Apr)
-- Added test case 505 to exercise FTP upload with rename done with libcurl,
- and for that I had to extend the test suite's FTP server to deal with the
- RNFR and RNTO commands.
-
-Daniel (31 Mar)
-- Even more SSL config check modifications after Richard's testing.
-
-Version 7.10.4-pre6 (31 Mar 2003)
-
-Daniel (31 Mar)
-- More fixes for the SSL session ID cache checks when SSL configs are changed
- between connections. Based on tests and talks with Richard Bramante.
-
-- Guillaume Cottenceau provided a patch that added CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH.
- When enabled, it will prevent libcurl from limiting to which host it sends
- user+password to when following locations. By default, libcurl only sends
- name and password to the original host used in the first URL, but with this
- option set it will send the auth info to all hosts it follows location
- headers to. The new tool command line option for this is named
- "--location-trusted".
-
-- Frankie Fong reported a problem with libcurl if you re-used an easy handle
- with a proxy, and you first made a https:// connection to a host and then
- switched to a http:// one to the same host. libcurl would then wrongly re-use
- the same connection for it and fail to get the second URL properly
-
-Daniel (29 Mar)
-- Dan Shearer's fix that makes curl complain if invoked with nothing but "curl
- -O" was applied.
-
-Daniel (26 Mar)
-- Bryan Kemp was friendly enough to lend me an account on his Redhat 9 box and
- I could fix the configure problems on redhat 8.1 and 9 in no time thanks to
- this. Thanks a bunch Bryan!
-
-Daniel (25 Mar)
-- Renamed configure.in to configure.ac
-
-Version 7.10.4-pre5 (25 Mar 2003)
-
-Daniel (25 Mar)
-- Richard Bramante provided a fix for a handle re-use problem seen when you
- change options on an SSL-enabled connection between requests. Previously,
- changing peer verification or host verification and similar things was not
- taken into account when a connection were checked for re-use and thus
- enabling stricter check between requests on a re-used connection made no
- difference and the connection would thus be used erroneously.
-
-Daniel (24 Mar)
-- Götz Babin-Ebell pointed out that the ca-bundle.crt file contained a
- certificate from Trustcenter that was a demo certificate only that was never
- intended to be part of a CA bundle.

-Daniel (21 Mar)
-- Life is a mystery. Within a time period of 17 hours, Tim Pope and Michael
- Churchill filed one bug report each, both identifying problems with a second
- transfer when doing persistent transfers re-using a connection. Tim's one is
- #706624, labeled "Multiple uploads per handle fail" and Michael's #707003
- "Does not send Authorization: header when reusing connection". I could track
- both down to the same piece of logic and it turned out libcurl was not using
- new settings properly when re-using an existing connection. This concerned
- both uploading and downloading and involved exactly those pieces these two
- reports identified. This code has been this faulty since the day I
- introduced persistent connection support in libcurl, more than 2 years ago.
-
-Daniel (20 Mar 2003)
-- Five year anniversary. Today five years ago, the first ever curl release saw
- the light of day.
-
-Daniel (17 Mar)
-- Andy Cedilnik corrected flaws in some libcurl example-usage sources.
-
-Daniel (16 Mar)
-- Juan F. Codagnone reported that the fix from March 2nd was incomplete.
-
-- Added code to the configure.in to check for select() argument types. I've
- not made any code use the results just yet though.
-
-Daniel (15 Mar)
-- Gisle Vanem provided two patches to build better on Windows.
-
-- Adjusted the test suite code to better make sure that the server(s) required
- for a specific test is properly started before the test case is attempted.
- Many tests now run a lot faster than before.
-
-Daniel (14 Mar)
-- Another configure.in adjustment made the configure detect functions properly
- on HPUX now.
-
-Daniel (13 Mar)
-- Philippe Raoult fixed pre4-compile quirks for FreeBSD.
-
-Version 7.10.4-pre4 (13 Mar 2003)
-
-Daniel (13 Mar)
-- Added a backup-check for functions that aren't found by AC_CHECK_FUNCS()
- as I believe some checks on HPUX need this. At least some of the info given
- to us by Rick Jones seemed to indicate this.
-
-Daniel (12 Mar)
-- Thomas Tonino found out that if you used the curl tool to do PUT operations
- as in 'curl www.foo.com/dir/ -T file' and the file name included for example
- space or other characters that don't belong in URLs, curl did not properly
- URL encode them before using them in the URL.
-
-- Added an option to configure called --enable-libgcc that simply adds -lgcc
- to the LIBS variable, as this seems to be a common problem.
-
-- I modified the configure.in file, so that the headers are now checked in an
- order of "viality". We must also make sure to use the "default headers"
- parameter to AC_CHECK_HEADERS() so that headers are checked with the proper
- prerequisites included (i.e all the major and generally important header
- files are included there by default). This might be what we need for various
- Sun, HP, AIX and Tru64 systems to behave good again on the header check
- front.
-
-- Rick Jones pointed out a few compiler warnings on HP-UX that I addressed.
-
-- I made the configure --help output nicer by using AC_HELP_STRING() a lot
- more.
-
-Daniel (11 Mar)
-- Christophe Demory fixed the socket sending code to work better on HP-UX
- when sending data to a socket that would block. It then returns EAGAIN, not
- EWOULDBLOCK.
-
-- Richard Gorton improved the seeding function for systems without a good
- and reliable random source.
-
-- Richard Gorton fixed a few warnings that popped up when you built curl
- using the Sun compiler on a 64bit SPARC platform.
-
-- Martin C. Martin fixed a case where a connect failure using the multi
- interface didn't produce a human readable error string.
-
-Daniel (10 Mar)
-- Reverted ltmain.sh back to libtool 1.4.2 status again, as the 1.4.3 version
- broke the build on numerous platforms. It seems that libtool 1.4.3 puts some
- requirements on what versions of the other tools (autoconf + automake) that
- I am not familiar with and thus I couldn't fulfill at this point.
-
- Yes, this is more than mildly frustrating.
-
-Daniel (7 Mar)
-- Run libtoolize version 1.4.3.
-
-Version 7.10.4-pre3 (4 Mar 2003)
-
-Daniel (3 Mar)
-- Added share.obj to the VC6 and Borland libcurl makefiles.
-
-- Troels Walsted Hansen found and investigated a problem with libcurl on AIX,
- presumably only on 4.3 or later. gethostbyname_r() is not returning data
- that is possible to "keep" and cache the way libcurl does. But instead these
- versions of AIX uses a gethostbyname() that works thread-safely we can
- instead use the ordinary gethostbyname() and our pack_hostent() approach to
- achieve what we want. The configure script now attempts to detect AIX 4.3 or
- later to adjust for this.
-
-Daniel (2 Mar)
-- Juan F. Codagnone found a problem introduced in 7.10.3 when you first did a
- POST and then back to a GET using the same easy handle.
-
-Daniel (28 Feb)
-- Removed the strequal and strnequal defines from curl/curl.h header. They
- were never meant for the public header anyway. Philippe Raoult brought it
- up.
-
-- James Bursa fixed the RISC OS build.
-
-Daniel (27 Feb)
-- Avery Fay pointed out the very misleading curl_multi_info_read man page, and
- I updated it to become more accurate.
-
-- Salvatore Sorrentino found a problem with FTP downloading that turned out to
- be his FTP server returning size zero (0 bytes) when SIZE was used on a file
- while being in BINARY mode. We now make a second check for the actual size
- by scanning the RETR reply anyway, even if the SIZE command returned 0.
-
-Daniel (26 Feb)
-- Kyle Sallee reported a case where he would do a transfer that didn't update
- the progress meter properly. It turned out to be a case where libcurl would
- loop a little too eagerly in the transfer loop, which isn't really good for
- the APIs, especially not the multi API.
-
-Version 7.10.4-pre2 (24 Feb 2003)
-
-Daniel (24 Feb)
-- Kjetil Jacobsen found out that setting CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to a value higher
- than 5 could cause a segfault.
-
-- I believe I fixed the 'Expect: 100-continue' behavior that has been broken
- for a while (I think since my change dated Dec 10 2002). When this header is
- used, libcurl should wait for a HTTP 100 (or timeout) before sending the
- post/put data.
-
-Daniel (14 Feb)
-- Matthew Clarke provided some info what to modify to make curl build
- flawlessly on AIX 3.2.5.
-
-- Martin C. Martin found and fixed a problem in the multi interface when
- running on Windows and trying to connect to a port without a listener.
-
-Daniel (13 Feb)
-- Christopher R. Palmer fixed Curl_base64_encode() to deal with zeroes in the
- data to encode.
-
-Daniel (4 Feb)
-- Jean-Philippe added the first code that enables the 'share' system. This
- should now enable sharing of DNS data between two curl easy handles.
-
-- Incorporated Nico Baggus' fixes to again compile flawlessly on VMS.
-
-- James Bursa corrected a bad comment in the public include file curl/multi.h
-
-- Peter Forret reported one of those error:00000000 cases in libcurl again
- when connecting to a HTTPS site, and this time I did discover some oddities
- in how curl reports SSL errors back. It could miss showing the actual error.
-
-Version 7.10.4-pre1 (3 Feb 2003)
-
-Daniel (3 Feb)
-- Removed things in the docs saying capath doesn't work on Windows, as Julian
- Noble told us it works fine.
-
-Daniel (31 Jan)
-- Kevin Roth fixed the zlib build stuff in the Mingw32 makefile.
-
-Daniel (30 Jan)
-- Kevin Roth found out that curl on Windows always checked for the CA cert
- bundle using the environment variable and the path scan, even though
- -k/--insecure was used.
-
-- Hamish Mackenzie pointed out that curl only did strict host name verifying
- if capath or cainfo was used. Now it'll always do it unless -k / --insecure
- is used!
-
-- Pavel Cenek pointed out that the Content-Type extraction was done wrongly
- as the full string was not fetched. Added test case 57 to verify that curl
- does it right now.
-
-Daniel (29 Jan)
-- Jamie Wilkinson provided a patch that now makes curl attempt to clear out
- "sensitive" command line arguments so that they don't appear in ps outputs
- (only on platforms that allow writing to argv[]).
-
-- John McGowan found out that the DEBUGFUNCTION could be called with bad
- arguments and thus cause the --trace outputs to go wrong.
-
-- Removed all the emacs local variables from all files. Mats Lidell provided
- the new sample.emacs file (for a sample of what to include in your .emacs)
- and the curl-style.el that sets a better c-style for editing curl sources.
-
-- Dave Halbakken found a problem with FTP downloads that could accidently
- return CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE when curl_easy_perform() was called with NOBODY
- set TRUE.
-
-Daniel (27 Jan)
-- The fopen.c example was flawed as Nick Humfrey noticed, and I fixed it to
- work again.
-
-Daniel (24 Jan)
-- Bertrand Demiddelaer found and fixed a memory leak (the content-type string)
- when following locations.
-
-Daniel (22 Jan 2003)
-- Ian Wilkes and Legoff Vincent both independently provided fixes for making
- curl/multi.h work properly when compiled with a C++ compiler.
-
-Daniel (20 Jan 2003)
-- Fixed 'buildconf' to check version number of the required tools before
- they're actually used.
-
-- Wrote 'testcurl.sh', a script targeted for automatic and distributed curl
- tests on various platforms.
-
-- David Thiel pointed out that the .netrc file was not being dealt with
- properly anymore. I broke this in the password prompting "fix".
-
-- Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer patched libcurl to allocate the scratch buffer only
- on demand and thus we save 32KB in each curl handle that don't use that
- buffer. This need appeared when some people started using thousands of
- simultaneous curl handles... :-)
-
-Daniel (16 Jan 2003)
-- Markus Oberhumer fixed curl-config --cflags when the includedir was not
- /usr/include.
-
-- Markus Oberhumer fixed CURLINFO_PRIVATE to properly return NULL if it was
- set to NULL!
-
-Version 7.10.3 (14 Jan 2003)
-
-Daniel (10 Jan 2003)
-- Steve Oliphant pointed out that test case 105 did not work anymore and this
- was due to a missing fix for the password prompting.
-
-Version 7.10.3-pre6 (10 Jan 2003)
-
-Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
-- Bryan Kemp pointed out that curl -u could not provide a blank password
- without prompting the user. It can now. -u username: makes the password
- empty, while -u username makes curl prompt the user for a password.
-
-- Kjetil Jacobsen found a remaining connect problem in the multi interface on
- ipv4 systems (Linux only?), that I fixed and Kjetil verified that it fixed
- his problems.
-
-- memanalyze.pl now reads a file name from the command line, and no longer
- takes the data on stdin as before.
-
-Version 7.10.3-pre5 (9 Jan 2003)
-
-Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
-- Fixed tests/memanalyze.pl to work with file names that contain colons (as on
- Windows).
-
-- Kjetil Jacobsen quickly pointed out that lib/share.h was missing...
-
-Version 7.10.3-pre4 (9 Jan 2003)
-
-Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
-- Updated lib/share.c quite a bit to match the design document at
- http://curl.haxx.se/dev/sharing.txt a lot more.
-
- I'll try to update the document soonish. share.c is still not actually used
- by libcurl, but the API is slowly getting there and we can start
- implementing code that takes advantage of this system.
-
-Daniel (8 Jan 2003)
-- Updated share stuff in curl/curl.h, including data types, structs and
- function prototypes. The corresponding files in lib/ were also modified
- of course to remain compilable. Based on input from Jean-Philippe and also
- to make it more in line with the design document.
-
-- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre patched a very trivial memory leak in
- curl_escape() that would happen when realloc() returns NULL...
-
-- Matthew Blain provided feedback to make the --create-dirs stuff build
- properly on Windows.
-
-- Fixed the #include in tests/libtest/first.c as Legoff Vincent pointed out.
-
-Daniel (7 Jan 2003)
-- Philippe Raoult provided a patch that now makes libcurl properly support
- wildcard checks for certificate names.
-
-- Simon Liu added CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, to let an application set other
- strings recognized as "HTTP 200" to allow http-like protocols to get
- downloaded fine by curl.
-
-- Now using autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.2
-
-- Doing "curl -I ftp://domain/non-existing-file" still outputed a date!
- Wayne Haigh reported.
-
-- The error message is now written properly with a newline in the --trace
- file.
-
-Daniel (6 Jan 2003)
-- Sterling Hughes fixed a possible bug: previously, if you called
- curl_easy_perform and then set the global dns cache, the global cache
- wouldn't be used. Pointed out by Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre.
-
-- Matthew Blain's fixed the VC6 libcurl makefile to include better debug data
- on debug builds.

+Daniel (19 December)
+- CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE was not possible to set.
+
+- Gisle Vanem updated the djgpp build files.
+
+Daniel (18 December)
+- John McGowan reported a redirect-problem that happened if a site used a URL
+ like "url.com?var=content" (without a proper slash) and from that address
+ redirected the user-agent to an absolute directory.
+
+- David Byron made libcurl build fine with both the .NET and VC6 versions of
+ MSVC
+
+Daniel (16 December)
+- Updated test 506 since it started to fail after the cache prune change
+ yesterday. I also changed it slightly to feature a counter in each debug
+ output for easier tracing.
+
+Daniel (15 December)
+- Old DNS cache entries are now only pruned after curl is done with a request,
+ and not in the actual name resolve call.
+
+- corrected the --enable-ares patch
+
+- Giuseppe Attardi found and fixed a problem within libcurl that re-used
+ already freed memory.
+
+Daniel (10 December)
+- Gisle Vanem reported that the dict support was broken. I broke it during my
+ ftps-changes overhaul. I've now added a 'curlassert' function that can be
+ used to verify expressions, to prevent future errors of the same
+ kind. They're only present in debug-builds.
+
+- Diego Casorran made curl and libcurl possible to build natively (no more
+ need for the ixemul library) on AmigaOS.
+
+- Dominick Meglio made configure --enable-ares support a given path to the
+ installed ares lib, instead of always using it in the curl source tree.
+ This also fixed the curl-config --libs output.
+
+- Eric S. Raymond patched a very minor man page format error in
+ libcurl-errors.3
+
+Daniel (8 December)
+- Fixed the flaw that made -lz appear twice on the link command line.
+
+- After correspondence with Gisle Vanem, I changed the 'connection aborted'
+ error text when the FTP response reader failed to more specificly identify
+ what the problem is.
+
+- Based on a patch from Dominick Meglio, curl-config --feature now outputs
+ 'AsynchDNS' as a feature if libcurl was built with ares. The feature name
+ is the same that 'curl -V' outputs, for simplicity.
+
+Daniel (3 December)
+- Marty Kuhrt made the build up-to-date on VMS, and moved most of the VMS-
+ specific stuff in the client code to a separate header file.
+
+- Steve Green fixed a return code bug in Curl_resolv(), that made the socks5
+ code fail.
+
+- swalkaus at yahoo.com patched libcurl to ignore Content-Length: headers
+ when Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used, as mandated by RFC2616.
+
+Daniel (2 December)
+- --ftp-pasv was added, which serves the only purpose of overriding a
+ previously set --ftpport option. Starting now, --ftp-port is a recognized
+ alias for --ftpport for consistency.
+
+- Giuseppe Attardi pointed out that we should use MSG_NOSIGNAL when we use
+ send() and recv(). I added checks for the define in the configure script and
+ adjusted the code accordingly. If the symbol is present, we won't attempt
+ to ignore the SIGPIPE signal.
+
+Daniel (1 December)
+- Mathias Axelsson set up a bsdftpd-ssl server for me and I could make curl
+ run fine against its FTPS implementation. Now these FTPS-related things
+ work:
+ o explicit and implicit FTPS
+ o active (PORT) and passive (PASV)
+ o upload and download
+ o verified against bsdftpd-ssl and RaidenFTPD
+
+Daniel (27 November)
+- James Clancy made the Borland Makefiles up to date.
+
+- Markus Moeller improved the SPNEGO detection in the configure script.
+
+Daniel (25 November)
+- Dave May filed bug report #848371, identifying that if you'd do POST over a
+ proxy to a https server, libcurl didn't POST at all, it just made a GET! It
+ turned out to be because libcurl wrongly didn't consider the authentication
+ "negotiation phase" to be complete yet.
+
+ I added test case 95 to verify my fix for this.
+
+Daniel (24 November)
+- Thanks to Mathias Axelsson, I've been able to work on FTPS for libcurl and it
+ seems to work somewhat fine now.
+
+ The FTPS stuff is based on RFC2228 and the murray-auth-ftp-ssl draft
+ (version 12). There seems to exist quite a few servers that have implemented
+ the server side of this.
+
+ We can now use ftps:// URLs to explicitly switch on SSL/TSL for the control
+ connection and the data connection (dealing with two SSL connections forced
+ me to change a lot of stuff in libcurl).
+
+ Alternatively, and what seems to be the recommended way, we can set the new
+ option CURLOPT_FTP_SSL to one of these values:
+
+ CURLFTPSSL_NOPE, - do not attempt to use SSL
+ CURLFTPSSL_TRY - try using SSL, proceed anyway otherwise
+ CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL - SSL for the control connection or fail
+ CURLFTPSSL_ALL - SSL for all communication or fail
+
+ Any failure to set the desired level will make libcurl fail with the error
+ code CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED. This new option makes a "normal" ftp:// transfer
+ attempt to be made securely.
+
+ I've been able to login and get files (passively) from Mathias' server using
+ both ftps:// and CURLOPT_FTP_SSL. (I've made 'curl' understand the --ftp-ssl
+ option that sets CURLFTPSSL_TRY.)
+
+- Gaz Iqbal fixed a range string memory leak.
+
+- Gisle Vanem fixed the Windows builds.
+
+- Added the new FTPSSL defines in curl/curl.h
+
+Daniel (20 November)
+- Josh Kapell filed bug report #845247 as he found an endless loop when
+ getting a 407 back from a proxy when no user+password was given. Added test
+ case 94 to verify the fix.
+
+Daniel (19 November)
+- Kevin Roth fixed a progress-bar problem on Windows.
+
+- While working with Nicolas Croiset's bug report #843739, I noticed two minor
+ problems related to ftp partial downloads: if a partial transfer is
+ detected, we must close the connection as we cannot know in what state it is
+ anymore. This looks like a ProFTPD bug:
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-11/0079.html
+
+Daniel (17 November)
+- Maciej W. Rozycki made the configure script use a cache variable for the
+ writable argv test. This way, the default can be overridden better (for
+ cross-compiles etc)
+
+Daniel (15 November)
+- Mathias Axelsson found out libcurl sometimes freed the server certificate
+ twice, leading to crashes!
+
+Daniel (14 November)
+- Siddhartha Prakash Jain found a case with a bad resolve that we didn't
+ properly bail out from, when using ares.
+
+Daniel (13 November)
+- Default Content-Type for parts in multipart formposts has changed to
+ "application/octet-stream". This seems more appropriate, and I believe
+ mozilla and the likes do this. In the same area: .html files now get
+ text/html as Content-Type. (Pointed out in bug report #839806)
+
+- Gisle Vanem corrected the --progress-bar output by doing a flush of the
+ output, which apparently makes it look better on at least windows, but
+ possibly other platforms too.
+
+- Peter Sylvester identified a problem in the connect code, which made the
+ multi interface on a ipv6-enabled solaris box do bad. Test case 504 to be
+ specific. I've spent some time to clean-up the Curl_connecthost() function
+ now to use less duplicated code for the two different sections: ipv6 and
+ ipv4.
+
+Daniel (11 November)
+- Added CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE. Use this to tell libcurl which file to use instead
+ of trying to find a .netrc in the current user's home directory. The
+ existing .netrc file finder is somewhat naive and is far from perfect on
+ several platforms that aren't unix-style. If this option isn't set when
+ CURLOPT_NETRC is set, the previous approach will still be used.
+
+ The current .netrc check code now also support longer than 256 bytes path
+ names.
+
+Daniel (10 November)
+- Kang-Jin Lee pointed out that the generated ca-bundle.h file shouldn't be
+ written in the source dir if a different build dir is used.
+
+- After Sébastien Willemijns' bug report, we now check the separators properly
+ in the 229-reply servers respond on a EPSV command and bail out better if
+ the reply string is not RFC2428-compliant.
+
+Daniel (7 November)
+- Based on Gisle Vanem's patch, I made curl try harder to get the home
+ directory of the current user, in order to find the default .curlrc file.
+ We're also considering moving out the HOME-dir code from libcurl, and
+ instead have the app pass in the path to the .netrc file (which is the only
+ logic left in libcurl that uses the HOME dir). Then curl can use the home
+ dir for that purpose too.
+
+- Ralph Mitchell's updated testcurl.sh to the script to take an existing
+ directory name and build/run/test curl in there instead of trying to update
+ from CVS. Using this approach, the script can now be used to test daily
+ tarballs etc.
+
+- Gisle Vanem added a "resource file" to the Windows DLL builds, to contain
+ information such as version number, library name, copyright info etc.
+
+Daniel (6 November)
+- curl checks if the existing libcurl supports things like --ntlm, --negotiate
+ and --krb4 and returns error if not.
+
+- I added three new global defines in the curl/curl.h header:
+ LIBCURL_VERSION_MAJOR, LIBCURL_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCURL_VERSION_PATCH. They
+ are the three numbers in the library's version number, separated for easier
+ usage. 'maketgz' was updated accordingly to generate these numbers properly
+ when building release-archives.
+
+- Uninitialized variable fix, reported by both Marty Kuhrt and Benjamin
+ Gerard.
+
+- Matt Veenstra provided build files to build libcurl as a "framework" under
+ Mac OS X. See the lib/libcurl.framework.make for details.
+
+- Removed the defines of TRUE and FALSE from the curl/curl.h header file.
+ They're not in our name space so we should not fiddle with them.
+
+Daniel (5 November)
+- Replaced the man page to HTML converter program with a new one: roffit.
+ Makes nicer web pages.
+
+Daniel (4 November)
+- Troels Walsted Hansen fixed the MSVC makefiles to let them build curl fine
+ on Windows.
+
+- Kevin Roth corrected the cygwin package generator and spell-fixed the
+ comment in the ca-bundle.h file.
+
+Version 7.10.8 (1 November 2003)
+
+Daniel (31 October)
+- Assume that MDTM on an FTP server returns the timestamp using the UTC time
+ zone. This changes the time CURLINFO_FILETIME returns for a given file over
+ FTP, and will change existing uses of CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION. It will make
+ the functionality more similar to how the HTTP one is already working.
+
+- Command line options that take numerical parameters (such as -y, -Y, -C etc)
+ now report error and exit if the parameter isn't truly a number greater than
+ or equal to zero. This helps users to notice bad usage earlier. Before, when
+ a user forgot or missed to add a numerical parameter to an option, the
+ command line parser would simply "eat" the following option and it would
+ cause great confusion.
+
+Daniel (30 October)
+- David Hull made libcurl deal with NOBODY and HEADER for file:// the same way
+ it already does for FTP: it provides HTTP-looking headers that provide info
+ only about the file, without doing the actual transfer. The curl tool then
+ lets --head do this.
+
+Daniel (29 October)
+- runtests.pl now checks for and use valgrind if present. It will redirect the
+ valgrind results in log/valgrind[num] but it currently doesn't scan that
+ file for any errors or anything, that is still only made manually.
+
+- David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file
+ syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.
+
+Daniel (28 October)
+- Dan C tracked down yet another weird behavior in the glibc gethostbyname_r()
+ function for some specific versions (reported on 2.2.5 and 2.1.1), and
+ provided a fix. On Linux machines with these glibc versions, non-ipv6
+ builds of libcurl would often fail to resolve perfectly resolvable host
+ names.
+
+Daniel (26 October)
+- James Bursa found out that curl_msnprintf() could write the trailing
+ zero-byte outside its given buffer size. This could happen if you generated
+ a very long error message as then libcurl would overwrite the ERRORBUFFER
+ with one byte. Using a non-existing very long local file:// name is one case
+ that could make this occur.
+
+Daniel (24 October)
+- David Hull filed bug report #829827. It identified a problem with -C - if
+ the full file already was downloaded and thus the server responded with a
+ 416. libcurl would then wrongly use the Content-Length: header and expect
+ that size to get transfer, causing a "hang" until the server closed the
+ connection and then an error 18 ("still N bytes data left of the transfer").
+
+ Now we don't return any error at all, but I think libcurl should perhaps
+ return some kind of info since the requested range was out of the size of
+ the document.
+
+- Based on David Hull's fix in bug report #804599, we now check for solaris and
+ gcc in configure and set the -mimpure-text link flag for linking the lib
+ better.
+
+- I've introduced a -t option to the runtests.pl script. With that option set,
+ the script runs special "memory torture" tests. For each test command line
+ in that section, the script first runs the command line and counts the total
+ amount of allocations made. It then runs the exact same command line again,
+ forcing allocation number N to fail. It will try every N from 1 to the total
+ number of amounts made. For every invoke, it checks that no memory was
+ leaked as that would indicate a bad cleanup somewhere in the code.
+
+ This is just beginning to work, and I've already made some corrections in
+ libcurl code. When this code works somewhat fine, I'll make sure 'make test'
+ in the root dir will run these tests as well.
+
+Daniel (23 October)
+- Georg Horn fixed how the CA verification is made. Verifications can now be
+ made while at the same time the result of it can be ignored. This also
+ affects the curl tool as -k can now be used together with --cacert or
+ --capath.
+
+Daniel (22 October)
+- Gisle Vanem found out --disable-eprt didn't work and patched it.
+
+- Test case 91 was modified and could now repeat the problem Kevin Roth has
+ reported, and the bug was fixed.
+
+- Dylan Ellicott added vc-libcurl-ssl-dll as a target to the root makefile
+ to build a static libcurl that links with a shared OpenSSL using MSVC.
+
+Daniel (21 October)
+- Andrés García updated the mingw32 makefiles.
+
+Version 7.10.8-pre5 (21 October 2003)
+
+Daniel (19 October)
+- Georg Horn made libcurl output more info on SSL failures when receiving
+ data.
+
+Version 7.10.8-pre4 (18 October 2003)
+
+Daniel (17 October)
+- Dominick Meglio implemented CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE and --max-filesize.
+
+- Made libcurl show verbose info about what auth type and user name that is
+ being sent in its HTTP request-headers.
+
+Daniel (16 October)
+- Removed support for CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION and CURLOPT_PASSWDDATA. libcurl
+ no longer prompt for passwords under any circumstances. Password prompting
+ was instead moved to curl, which now prompts for password if -u or -U lack
+ it. This solves the problem Kevin Roth reported when curl prompted for
+ password twice when doing NTLM authentication.
+
+- I rewrote the SSL subjectAltName check to avoid having to rely on OpenLDAP-
+ licensed derivate code.
+
+Daniel (15 October)
+- Avoid doing getsockopt() on Windows to verify connects. It seems that this
+ hogs Windows machines when libcurl is being used multi-threaded (with > ~50
+ threads). Andrew Fuller helped us verify and test this.
+
+Daniel (14 October)
+- Kimmo Kinnunen fixed a crash with duphandle() when CURLDEBUG is set.
+
+- Gisle Vanem made libcurl build and work with IPv6 on Windows.
+
+Daniel (13 October)
+- Giuseppe Attardi reported yet another segfault with ares and the multi
+ interface. Me fixed.
+
+- Domenico Andreoli removed the extra LDFLAGS assignment in lib/Makefile.am
+ that was reported about in the debian bug report #212086.
+
+ Domenico also fixed two makefiles where we used 'gnroff' instead of the more
+ portable $(NROFF).
+
+Daniel (12 October)
+- Dirk Manske made the share locking around DNS lookups slightly different to
+ allow the share system's DNS lookups to run somewhat more
+ independent/faster.
+
+Daniel (9 October)
+- Lachlan O'Dea fixed a resume problem: "If I set CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, perform
+ an HTTP download, then reset CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM to 0, the next download
+ still has a Range header with a garbage value." bug report #820502
+
+- Dominick Meglio made the inet_pton.c file build fine using MSVC.
+
+- The 'sws' test suite web server now #include setup.h from the lib directory.
+ This makes it more portable easier.
+
+Version 7.10.8-pre3 (8 October 2003)
+
+Daniel (8 October)
+- Frank Ticheler provided a patch that fixes how libcurl connects to multiple
+ addresses, if one of them fails (ipv4-code).
+
+Daniel (7 October)
+- Neil Dunbar provided a patch that now makes libcurl check SSL
+ subjectAltNames when matching certs. This is apparently detailed in RFC2818
+ as the right thing to do. I had to add configure checks for inet_pton() and
+ our own (strictly speaking, code from BIND written by Paul Vixie) provided
+ code for the function for platforms that miss it.
+
+- HTTP POST using the read callback didn't work, as Florian Schoppmann
+ reported.
+
+Daniel (5 October)
+- Shared provided a few fixes to make libcurl build on BeOS
+ out-of-the-box. New code for BeOS-style non-blocking sockets, provided by
+ Shard and Jeremy Friesner. Modified the autoconf check for non-blocking
+ sockets to check for this kind too.
+
+Daniel (4 October)
+- Vincent Bronner pointed out that if you set CURLOPT_COOKIE for a transfer
+ and then set it to NULL in a subsequent one, the previous cookie was still
+ sent off!
+
+- Jon Turner fixed a problem libcurl had when it failed on an FTP transfer due
+ to a bad path, it would cause the next transfer to use a bad path as well.
+
+- Siddhartha Prakash Jain provided a patch with a fix for libcurl with ares,
+ when working on IP-only names as we then could return "wait" status when the
+ name in fact already was resolved. I edited the patch slightly to not expose
+ asynch details to non-ares aware source code.
+
+Daniel (3 October)
+- Neil Spring posted the debian bug report #213180, and pointed out that using
+ the name 'access' in a function prototype is not very wise as some compilers
+ complain.
+
+- Peter Sylvester provided his and Jean-Paul Merlin's curlx.c example source
+ code that shows how they use ssl and callbacks.
+
+Daniel (2 October)
+- James MacMillan's patch makes curl build on QNX 6.2.x.
+
+Daniel (26 September)
+- My daughter was born!
+
+Daniel (23 September)
+- Added support for -4/--ipv4 and -6/--ipv6 to force names to resolve to that
+ particular IP version. They only work for IPv6-enabled libcurls.
+
+- curl -V now outputs 'SPNEGO' as a feature in case libcurl was built to
+ support that.
+
+Version 7.10.8-pre2 (22 September 2003)
+
+Daniel (22 September)
+- Giuseppe Attardi found a segfault in libcurl when using the multi interface
+ with ares and doing repeated operations against a non-resolving host name.
+
+Daniel (19 September)
+- Added the CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE option, that allows an application to select
+ what kind of IP addresses he wants to use when resolving host names. This
+ is only interesting when using host names that resolve addresses using more
+ than one version of IP.
+
+- Applied Markus Moeller's patch that introduces SPNEGO support if libcurl
+ is built with the FBopenssl libraries. curl_version_info() now returns
+ info on SPNEGO availability. The patch also made the GSSAPI stuff work fine
+ with the MIT GSS-library (the Heimdal one still works too).
+
+Daniel (16 September)
+- Doing PUT with --digest failed, as reported in bug report #805853.
+
+- Using --anyauth that picked NTLM, and then a redirect closed the connection
+ and took curl to a second NTLM page made curl fail. Bug report #806328
+ identified the problem, test case 90 was added to verify the fix.
+
+Daniel (14 September)
+- codemastr brought a patch for ares to make the Windows portions of it work
+ properly on NT4. I uploaded a new diff and updated the docs on where to get
+ it etc.
+
+- Jeff Pohlmeyer tracked down a very hard-to-find bug where we removed a
+ cached DNS entry even though it may be in use, which caused "random" memory
+ to get overwritten and thus "random" crashes.
+
+Daniel (12 September)
+- Based on a bug report by David Kimdon, I made the runtests.pl script clear
+ all possible proxy environment variables before the tests are run.
+
+- By default, easy handles within a multi handle now share DNS cache.
+
+- Tim Bartley brought a patch that makes the GSSNEGOTIATE option work for
+ Microsoft's "Negotiate" authentication as well.
+
+Daniel (11 September)
+- A zero-length proxy string confused FTP transfers.
+
+- Bjorn Reese found a case with an uninitialized pointer, only present when
+ built for ares.
+
+Version 7.10.8-pre1 (8 September 2003)
+
+Daniel (7 September)
+- Jurij Smakov found out that the non-OpenSSL MD5 code was not working on
+ Alpha (or ia64). Only the OpenSSL-version did. I made a fix I think corrects
+ the problem.
+
+Daniel (5 September)
+- Kevin Fisk reported that configure --enable-thread didn't work. I fixed.
+
+- De-macrofied the lib/hash.c source code somewhat.
+
+Daniel (4 September)
+- CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL and CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL added, Based on Joerg
+ Mueller-Tolk's patch,
+
+Early (4 September)
+- Added CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - allows user to set strict timeout
+ requirements on the FTP server's ability to respond to individual commands
+ without placing global requirements on transfer or connect time. Files
+ affected:
+ - include/curl/curl.h
+ Added option CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
+ - lib/ftp.c
+ Added branch inside Curl_GetFTPResponse to check for
+ data->set.ftp_response_timeout
+ - lib/url.c
+ Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
+ - lib/urldata.h
+ Added ftp_response_timeout to struct UserDefined
+
+Daniel (3 September)
+- Peter Pentchev found and fixed two problems in the test suite's web server
+ code, that made it segfault at times.
+
+- Jörg Mueller-Tolk improved the proxy user+password handling, especially
+ when providing a blank password.
+
+Daniel (2 September)
+- Fix for making CONNECT to proxies do the correct magic to allow NTLM, Digest
+ and similar to work.
+
+Daniel (1 September)
+- Henrik Storner made libcurl work fine with OpenLDAP 2.1.22 (current).
+
+- Jeff Pohlmeyer added a proper error message for non-resolving hosts when
+ using ares for lookups.
+
+Daniel (25 August)
+- John McGowan reported that curl -k still failed if the HTTPS server's CN
+ field wasn't obtainable. This was due to the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST being
+ set to 1, and libcurl failed if the CN was missing. Starting now, having it
+ set to 1 will simply output a warning if no CN could be obtained (as having
+ a mismatch is OK).
+
+Daniel (21 August)
+- Vincent Sanders provided a fix for name resolving when linked with uClibc.
+
+Daniel (20 August)
+- Gerd v. Egidy provided a patch that makes libcurl store the FTP response
+ code from ftp servers. Using curl_easy_getinfo() with CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE
+ returns that data. The option is therefore now also known as
+ CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE.
+
+- Antoine Calando found a segfault when doing multi-part/formpost using
+ the multi interface.
+
+- Antoine Calando pointed out that curl_multi_info_read() didn't set the
+ msgs_in_queue to 0 properly when returning NULL.
+
+Daniel (19 August)
+- I made curl support multiple -T options, as well as -T "{file1,file2}"
+ style globbing. One -T for each URL is supported.
+
+- Jeff Pohlmeyer found a segfault when using ares-enabled libcurl and the
+ multi interface when trying a non-existing host name.
+
+- Made the libcurl printf code support long longs if available.
+
+- Loren Kirkby pointed out that we did not clean up all SSL-allocated memory
+ in curl_global_cleanup().
+
+Daniel (17 August)
+- Setting CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or CURLOPT_READFUNCTION to NULL will now make
+ them get the internal defaults restored. Previously this could cause a
+ segfault. We should aim at having all pointer-related options get restored
+ to default/safe values when set to NULL.
+
+Version 7.10.7 (15 August 2003)
+
+Daniel (14 August)
+- I modified the memdebug system to return failure on memory allocation
+ functions after a set amount of successful ones. This enables us to test
+ out-of-memory situations in a controlled manner and we can make sure that
+ curl/libcurl behaves good in those.
+
+ This made me find and fix several spots where we did not cleanup properly
+ when bailing out due to errors (low memory).
+
+- Corrected test case 74. Made using -o with bad #[num] codes complain and
+ bail out. Made #[num] support numbers larger than 9 as well. Added test
+ case 86 for a proper range globbing test as well.
+
+Version 7.10.7-pre4 (12 August 2003)
+
+Daniel (12 August)
+- curl_version_info() now returns a flag if libcurl was built with asynch DNS
+ support, and this is now also displayed with 'curl -V'.
+
+- Added a few new man pages to the docs/libcurl dir: curl_share_init,
+ curl_share_setopt, curl_share_cleanup, libcurl-easy and libcurl-share.
+
+Daniel (11 August)
+- Mike Cherepov made the local binding code work for Windows, which makes
+ the option CURLOPT_INTERFACE work on Windows as well.
+
+- Vincent Sanders updated the fopen.c example code a lot.
+
+- --proxy-ntlm is now supported by the curl tool. It forces the proxy
+ authentication to be made using NTLM. It does not yet work for HTTPS over
+ proxies (or other proxy-tunneling options). Test case 81 and 82 do some
+ simple initial ntlm testing.
+
+- Found and fixed a minor memory leak on re-used connections with
+ proxy-authentication.
+
+- I removed -@ and -Z as valid short options. They were very rarely used (@
+ wasn't even documented).
+
+- Serge Semashko introduced CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, and make it work when set to
+ CURLAUTH_NTLM and/or CURLAUTH_BASIC. The PROXAUTH is similar to HTTPAUTH,
+ but is for the proxy connection only, and HTTPAUTH is for the remote host.
+
+- Fixed loading of cookies with blank contents from a cookie jar. Also made the
+ cookie functions inform on added and skipped cookies (for cookie debugging).
+
+Version 7.10.7-pre3 (8 August 2003)
+
+Daniel (8 August)
+- Applied David Byron's fix for file:// URLs with drive letters included.
+
+- I added the --ftp-create-dirs to the client code, which activates Early's
+ CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option, and wrote test case 147 to verify
+ it. Added the option to the curl.1 man page too. Added the option to the
+ curl_easy_setopt.3 man page too.
+
+Daniel (7 August)
+- Test case 60 failed on ia64 and AMD Opteron. Fixed now.
+
+- Fixed a printf problem that resulted in urlglobbing bugs (bug #203827 in the
+ debian bug tracker). Added test case 74 to verify the fix and to discover if
+ this breaks in the future.
+
+- "make distcheck" works again.
+
+Version 7.10.7-pre2 (6 August 2003)
+
+Daniel (5 August)
+- Duncan Wilcox helped me verify that the latest incarnation of my ares patch
+ builds fine on Mac OS X (see the new lib/README.ares) file for all details.
+
+- Salvatore Sorrentino filed bug report #783116 and Early Ehlinger posted a
+ bug report to the libcurl list, both identifying a problem with FTP
+ persistent connections and how the dir hierarchy was not properly reset
+ between files.
+
+- David Byron's thoughts on a fixed Makefile in tests/ were applied.
+
+- Jan Sundin reported a case where curl ignored a cookie that browsers don't,
+ which turned up to be due to the number of dots in the 'domain'. I've now
+ made curl follow the the original netscape cookie spec less strict on that
+ part.
+
+Daniel (4 August)
+- Dirk Manske added cookie support for the experimental, hidden and still
+ undocumented share feature!
+
+- Mark Fletcher provided an excellent bug report that identified a problem
+ with FOLLOWLOCATION and chunked transfer-encoding, as libcurl would not
+ properly ignore the body contents of 3XX response that included the
+ Location: header.
+
+Early (6 August)
+- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
+ This option will force the target file's path to be created if it
+ does not already exist on the remote system.
+
+ Files affected:
+ - include/curl/curl.h
+ Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
+ - lib/ftp.c
+ Added function ftp_mkd, which issues a MKD command
+ Added function ftp_force_cwd, which attempts a CWD,
+ and does a MKD and retries the CWD if the original CWD
+ fails
+ Modified ftp_perform() to call its change directory function
+ through a pointer. The pointer points to ftp_cwd by default,
+ and is modified to point to ftp_force_cwd IFF
+ data->set.ftp_create_missing_dirs is not 0.
+ - lib/url.c
+ Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
+ - lib/urldata.h
+ Added ftp_create_missing_dirs to struct UserDefined
+
+- Minor Bugfix for CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION with FTP - if the file was not
+ present to do the time comparison, it would fail.
+ Files affected:
+ - lib/ftp.c
+ In ftp_perform(), the call to ftp_getfiletime() used to be followed
+ by
+ if (result)
+ return result;
+ And then by the code that actually did the time comparison.
+ The code that did the comparison handled the case where the filetime
+ was not available (as indicated by info.filetime < 0 or set.timevalue
+ < 0), so I replaced the if (result) return result with a switch(result)
+ that allows CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE to fall through to the
+ normal time comparison.
+
+Daniel (3 August)
+- When proxy authentication is used in a CONNECT request (as used for all SSL
+ connects and otherwise enforced tunnel-thru-proxy requests), the same
+ authentication header is also wrongly sent to the remote host.
+
+ This is a rather significant info leak. I've fixed it now and mailed a patch
+ and warning to the mailing lists.
+
+Daniel (1 August)
+- David Byron provided a patch to make 7.10.6 build correctly with the
+ compressed hugehelp.c source file.
+
+Version 7.10.7-pre1 (31 July 2003)
+
+Daniel (30 July)
+- Jörg Müller-Tolk updated the VC makefile.
+
+- Daniel Noguerol made the ftp code output "Accept-Ranges: bytes" in similar
+ style like other faked HTTP headers when NOBODY and HEADER are used. I
+ updated two corresponding test cases too.
+
+- Marty Kuhrt pointed out a compilation problem on VMS due to my having
+ changed a type from long to time_t, and I'm now changing it back to work
+ more portably...
+
+ He also indicated that distributing the src/hugehelp.c in a compressed state
+ like I accidentally did may not be the smartest move... I've now fixed the
+ distribute procedure to automatically generate an uncompressed version when I
+ make release archives.
+
+Daniel (29 July)
+- Gisle Vanem brought changes to the mkhelp script for the generation of the
+ compressed help text on some platforms.
+
+Version 7.10.6 (28 July 2003)
+
+Daniel (28 July)
+- François Pons brought a patch that once again made curl deal with ftp and
+ "double slash" as indicating the root directory. In the RFC1738-fix of April
+ 30, that ability was removed (since it is not the "right" way). So, starting
+ now we can list the root dir of an ftp server both these ways:
+
+ curl ftp://server.com/%2f as well as
+ curl ftp://server.com//
+
+Daniel (24 July)
+- Henry Bland pointed out that we included sys/resource.h without good reason
+ in several source files. Without it included, QNX builds better...
+
+- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.
+
+Daniel (23 July)
+- Tracy Boehrer experienced DNS cache problems and did some nice debugging
+ and tracking which made it easy for me to correct the problem and Tracy
+ could verify that it did cure the problem! When re-using a connection we
+ now make sure we don't re-use the 'connect_addr' struct.
+
+- Daniel Kouril corrected the GSS-Negotiate code.
+
+- Juan F. Codagnone provided fixes to allow curl to build fine on Windows
+ again.
+
+Daniel (22 July)
+- Edited the curl/curl.h include file to build on Windows properly.
+
+Daniel (21 July)
+- Moved the proxy credentials from the SessionHandle struct to the connectdata
+ struct, to make multiple proxy connections with differerent user names work.
+
+- Adjusted the NTLM code to support proxy functionality.
+
+- Made the krb4 stuff compile with the user+password fields moved.
+
+Version 7.10.6-pre4 (21 July 2003)
+
+Daniel (20 July)
+- David Gardner pointed out in bug report 770755 that using the FTP command
+ CWD with a blank argument is a bad idea and I made libcurl skip empty path
+ segments starting now.
+
+Daniel (18 July)
+- Cris pointed out that my fix on July 16th didn't work fully. His pointing
+ out this (and his patch) also made me realize that we have a very similar
+ bug in the FTP connection re-use code. We must store a separate user and
+ password field for each connection we keep (at least for FTP and HTTP+NTLM
+ connections, so I made us do this unconditionally).
+
+- Since NTLM authenticates connections instead of single requests, I had to
+ re-arrange how we store the NTLM data and I had to improve the test suite to
+ finally work properly with persistency to make the NTLM tests run fine
+ again. This also forced me to have to update lots of HTTP test cases.
+
+Daniel (16 July)
+- Cris Bailiff's bug report 768275 pointed out that using Basic auth with
+ wrong user+password caused an endless loop. Fixed now. He also found out that
+ we didn't properly authenticate connections with NTLM. Fixed too.
+
+- Dan Winship provided fixes for the NTLM code.
+
+Daniel (5 July)
+- Doug Kaufman provided additional fixes for the DOS port.
+
+Daniel (4 July)
+- Rick Richardson pointed out that using setvbuf() to achieve non-buffering
+ on output is no-good for SCO Xenix and other unixes. We switched over to
+ using plain fflush() instead.
+
+- Dan Grayson pointed out that we set the CURL_CA_BUNDLE variable wrongly in
+ the configure script, and I had to change some build stuff to make the new
+ way work.
+
+- Peter Sylvester's patch was applied that introduces the following:
+
+ CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION to set a callback that gets called with the
+ OpenSSL's ssl_ctx pointer passed in and allow a callback to act on it. If
+ anything but CURLE_OK is returned, that will also be returned by libcurl
+ all the way back. If this function changes the CURLOPT_URL, libcurl will
+ detect this and instead go use the new URL.
+
+ CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA is a pointer you set to get passed to the callback set
+ with CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION.
+
+Daniel (1 July)
+- David Byron provided a patch that allows a client to quit the test suite's
+ HTTP server.
+
+- Gisle Vanem found and patched a lib handle leak in the ldap code.
+
+Daniel (25 June)
+- More NTLM-improvements. Less code. Smaller packets back and forth.
+
+Daniel (23 June)
+- Eric Glass provided us with a better doc on NTLM details, and I added more
+ comments and clarified the current code more. Using the new knowledge, we
+ should be able to make the NTLM stuff work even better.
+ Eric's original URL: http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html
+ Version stored and provided at curl site: http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html
+
+- Fixed the minor compile problems pre3 had if built without GSSAPI and/or
+ SSL.
+
+Version 7.10.6-pre3 (19 June 2003)
+
+Daniel (19 June)
+- Made curl use curl_free() on memory returned by curl_getenv(), as this
+ should theoreticly make it possibly to build and run curl and libcurl with
+ different memory allocation schemes with no problems.
+
+Daniel (18 June)
+- Improved the mkhelp.pl a bit further to make a nicer hugehelp text and to
+ include a better comment in the top for the gzip compressed version.
+
+Daniel (17 June)
+- CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is now a bitmask, in which you set which authentication
+ type(s) you want to use. If more than one is set, libcurl will use one of
+ the selected one and the one it considers is more secure. Test case 67 and
+ 68 (for NTLM) were fixed and we've reduced a round-trip for specific --ntlm
+ fetches, and test case 69 and 70 were added for testing authentication
+ "picking". --anyauth is the new command line tool option, and I also added
+ --basic for completeness (that's the default type).
+
+- Fixed the runtests.pl script to use the info provided by the new curl -V
+ output.
+
+- --enable-debug now sets the CURLDEBUG define instead of MALLOCDEBUG, as it
+ is meant to be a generic debug conditional.
+
+- curl_version_info() can now return CURL_VERSION_DEBUG as a feature bit, to
+ indicate that the library was built with CURLDEBUG set.
+
+- Ralph Mitchell found out that some web applications very badly uses white
+ spaces in Location: redirects, and apparently IE is a browser (the only
+ one?) that supports this abomination. Based on Ralph's patch, I added code
+ that now attempts to replace white spaces with the proper "%20" or "+".
+ Test case 40 and 42 were added to verify my changes.
+
+- curl -V now also outputs a list of features the available library offers (if
+ any).
+
+- The curl_version() string now includes "GSS" if libcurl is built with GSSAPI
+ support.
+
+- David Orrell reported that libcurl still crashed when sending HUGE requests
+ over HTTPS... I fixed.
+
+Version 7.10.6-pre2 (16 June 2003)
+
+Daniel (16 June)
+- curl_version_info() now returns bitmasked information weather NTLM and
+ GSSNEGOTIATE are supported, since it is doomed to vary on different
+ installations.
+
+- I remade the HTTP Digest code to use the MD5-code provided by OpenSSL if
+ that is present, and only use our own MD5-code if it isn't.
+
+Daniel (13 June)
+- More NTLM help, fixes and patches from Cris Bailiff.
+
+- Marty Kuhrt brought include fixes for making VMS builds warning-free.
+
+Daniel (12 June)
+- NTLM authentication works somewhat against the test servers provided by
+ Mathias Axelsson and Cris Bailiff. Use by setting CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH to
+ CURLAUTH_NTLM to libcurl, or --ntlm for the curl tool. Test case 67 and 68
+ were added for this. NTLM-support requires OpenSSL.
+
+- Dan Fandrich provided a patch, that granted that gzip and libz are available
+ at build-time, compresses the hugehelp text in the curl command line and
+ uncompresses it at request. Saves some ~60K in the final output executable.
+
+Daniel (11 June)
+- Long day of fighting the NTLM demons.
+
+Daniel (10 June)
+- Modified how to set auth type to libcurl. Now use CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH instead,
+ and pick method. Supported ones currently are:
+ CURLAUTH_BASIC - default selection
+ CURLAUTH_DIGEST - formerly CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST
+ CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE
+
+- Daniel Kouril added HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication support, as defined in
+ the IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. In use already by various
+ Microsoft web applications. --negotiate is the new family member. To take
+ advantage of this, you need one of these packages:
+
+ o Heimdal Kerberos5 http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/heimdal.html
+ o GSSAPI from Globus http://www.globus.org/
+ o GSSAPI libraries from MIT Kerberos5 http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
+
+- A missing ending bracket (']') while doing URL globbing could lead to a
+ segfault. While fixing this, I also introduced better error reporting in the
+ globbing code. (All this is application code outside libcurl.)
+
+Daniel (6 June)
+- David Orrell found out that sending a huge GET request over HTTPS could
+ make libcurl fail and return an error code.
+
+Daniel (2 June)
+- Richard Bramante found out that "Content-Length: 0" was not properly used by
+ libcurl if the response-headers indicated that the connection would be
+ closed.
+
+- David Byron's patch was applied, that makes the --progress-bar take the
+ local size into account when doing resumed downloads.
+
+- Feedback from Serge Semashko made me change the error message returned when
+ CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR is returned.
+
+- Anonymous in bug report #745122 pointed out that we should really be using
+ SSL_CTX_set_options(... SSL_OP_ALL) to work around flaws in existing SSL
+ implementations.
+
+Daniel (27 May)
+- Andreas Ley and Rich Gray helped me point out that no version of HP-UX has
+ the sys/select.h header file so including it unconditionally in curl/multi.h
+ is not a good thing. Now we check for HPUX and avoid using that header on
+ such systems.
+
+- Rudy Koento experienced problems with curl's recent habit of POSTing data in
+ two separate send() calls, first the headers and then the data. I've now
+ made a fix that for static and known content that is less than 100K in size,
+ everything is now sent in one single system call again. This is also better
+ for network performance reasons.
+
+- I modified the main makefile to not build the test suite and a few other
+ unnecessary things by default. Now, the test suite is built when 'make test'
+ is run. This reduces build time for those who don't care for the test
+ suite, and it also reduces confusion for people using platforms where the
+ test suite build fails!
+
+Daniel (26 May)
+- Chris Lewis pointed out a flaw in the #ifdefs in curl/multi.h for Windows,
+ which is now corrected.
+
+- Jis Joy found another flaw in the SOCK5 code, as libcurl treated the socks5
+ proxy a little too much like as if it was a http proxy.
+
+Daniel (23 May)
+- Ricardo Cadime found a socket leak when listing directories without
+ contents. Test cases 144 and 145 were added to verify the fix.
+
+- Rudy Koento found yet another problem when a HTTP server returns only a
+ single-line of contents without any headers at all. libcurl then failed to
+ count the data, thus returning error 52 "no contents". Test case 66 was
+ added to verify that we now do right.
+
+Version 7.10.6-pre1 (23 May 2003)
+
+Daniel (23 May)
+- Jis in bug report #741841, fixed a bug in the SOCKS5 proxy-using code.
+
+Daniel (22 May)
+- David Remahl set up a test-server for me providing Digest authentication,
+ and I wrote the first working code that support it. The test suite was
+ modified slightly as well to work better for it and --digest was added to
+ the command line options (and CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST to the library)... RFC2617
+ has all the gory details.
+
+Daniel (21 May)
+- David Balazic pointed out that curl_unescape() didn't check that %-codes
+ were correctly followed by two hexadecimal digits when it unescape strings.
+ Now, we do the check and only %XX codes are unescaped if the X letters are
+ hexadecimals.
+
+- Gisle Vanem made curl build with djgpp on DOS.
+
+- Gisle Vanem improved the mkhelp.pl script to make a nicer manual that is
+ shown with curl -M.
+
+Daniel (20 May)
+- Gisle Vanem provided a fix that makes libcurl more conservative, not
+ expecting h_aliases of the hostent struct to always be non-NULL.
+
+Daniel (19 May)
+- As requested by Martin Michlmayr in Debian bug report #193630, libcurl now
+ supports user name and password in the proxy environment variables. Added
+ test case 63 to verify this.
+
+Version 7.10.5 (19 May 2003)
+
+Daniel (15 May)
+- Changed the order for the in_addr_t testing, as 'unsigned long' seems to be
+ a very common type inet_addr() returns.
+
+Daniel (14 May)
+- George Comninos provided a fix that calls the progress meter when waiting
+ for FTP command responses take >1 second. It'll make applications more
+ "responsive" even when dealing with very slow ftp servers.
+
+Daniel (12 May)
+- George Comninos pointed out that libcurl uploads had two quirks:
+ o when using FTP PORT command, it used blocking sockets!
+ o it could loop a long time without doing progress meter updates
+ Both items are fixed now.
+
+Daniel (9 May)
+- Dan Fandrich changed CURLOPT_ENCODING to select all supported encodings if
+ set to "". This frees the application from having to know which encodings
+ the library supports.
+
+- Dan Fandrich pointed out we had three unnecessary files in CVS that is
+ generated with libtoolize, so they're now removed and libtoolize is invoked
+ accordingly in the buildconf script.
+
+- Avery Fay found out that the CURLOPT_INTERFACE way of first checking if the
+ given name is a network interface gave a real performance penalty on Linux,
+ so now we more appropriately first check if it is an IP number and if so
+ we don't check for a network interface with that name.
+
+- CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT added. Set this to FALSE to disable libcurl's attempts
+ to use EPRT and LPRT before the traditional PORT command. The command line
+ tool sets this option with '--disable-eprt'.
+
+Version 7.10.5-pre2 (6 May 2003)
+
+Daniel (6 May)
+- Kevin Delafield reported another case where we didn't correctly check for
+ EAGAIN but only EWOULDBLOCK, which caused badness on HPUX.
+
+Daniel (4 May)
+- Ben Greear noticed that the check for 'writable argv' exited the configure
+ script when run for cross-compiling, which wasn't nice. Now it'll default to
+ no and output a warning about the fact that it was not checked for.
+
+Daniel (2 May)
+- Added test case 62 and fixed some more on the cookie sending with a custom
+ Host: header set.
+
+Daniel (1 May)
+- Andy Cedilnik fixed a few compiler warnings.
+
+- Made the "SSL read error: 5" error message more verbose, by adding code that
+ queries the OpenSSL library to fill in the error buffer.
+
+Daniel (30 Apr)
+- Added sys/select.h include in the curl/multi.h file, after having been
+ reminded about this by Rich Gray.
+
+- I made each test set its own server requirements, thus abandoning the
+ previous system where the test number implied what server(s) to use for a
+ specific test.
+
+- David Balazic made curl more RFC1738-compliant for FTP URLs, by fixing so
+ that libcurl now uses one CWD command for each path part. A bunch of test
+ cases were fixed to work accordingly.
+
+- Cookie fixes:
+
+ A. Save domains in jars like Mozilla does. It means all domains set in
+ Set-Cookie: headers are dot-prefixed.
+ B. Save and use the 'tailmatch' field in the Mozilla/Netscape cookie jars
+ (the second column).
+ C. Reject cookies using illegal domains in the Set-Cookie: line. Concerns
+ both domains with too few dots or domains that are outside the currently
+ operating server host's domain.
+ D. Set the path part by default to the one used in the request, if none was
+ set in the Set-Cookie line.
+
+ To make item C really good, I also made libcurl notice custom Host: headers
+ and extract the host name set in there and use that as the host name for the
+ site we're getting the cookies from. This allows user to specify a site's
+ IP-address, but still be able to receive and send its cookies properly if
+ you provide a valid Host: name for the site.
+
+Daniel (29 Apr)
+- Peter Kovacs provided a patch that makes the CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME work fine
+ when using the multi interface (too).
+
+Version 7.10.5-pre1 (23 Apr 2003)
+
+Daniel (23 Apr)
+- Upgraded to libtool 1.5.
+
+Daniel (22 Apr)
+- Peter Sylvester pointed out that curl_easy_setopt() will always (wrongly)
+ return CURLE_OK no matter what happens.
+
+- Dan Fandrich fixed some gzip decompression bugs and flaws.
+
+Daniel (16 Apr)
+- Fixed minor typo in man page, reported in the Debian bug tracker.
+
+Daniel (15 Apr)
+- Fixed some FTP tests in the test suite that failed on my Solaris host, due
+ to the config.h not being included before the system headers. When done that
+ way, it did get a mixed sense of if big files are supported or not and then
+ stat() and fstat() (as used in test case 505) got confused and failed to
+ return a proper file size.
+
+- Formposting a file using a .html suffix is now properly set to Content-Type: text/html.
+
+Daniel (14 Apr)
+- Fixed the SSL error handling to return proper SSL error messages again, they
+ broke in 7.10.4. I also attempt to track down CA cert problems and then
+ return the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code.
+
+- The curl tool now intercepts the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code and displays
+ a fairly big and explanatory error message. Kevin Roth helped me out with
+ the wording.
+
+Daniel (11 Apr)
+- Nic Hines provided a second patch for gzip decompression, and fixed a bug
+ when deflate or gzip contents were downloaded using chunked encoding.
+
+- Dan Fandrich made libcurl support automatic decompression of gzip contents
+ (as an addition to the previous deflate support).
+
+- I made the CWD command during FTP session consider all 2xy codes to be OK
+ responses.
+
+Daniel (10 Apr)
+- Vlad Krupin fixed a URL parsing issue. URLs that were not using a slash
+ after the host name, but still had "?" and parameters appended, as in
+ "http://hostname.com?foobar=moo", were not properly parsed by libcurl.
+
+Daniel (9 Apr)
+- Made CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION work for FTP transfers, using the same syntax as
+ for HTTP. This then made -z work for ftp transfers too. Added test case 139
+ and 140 for verifying this.
+
+- Getting the file date of an ftp file used the wrong time zone when
+ displayed. It is supposedly always GMT. Added test case 141 for this.
+
+- Made the test suite's FTP server support MDTM.
+
+- The default DEBUGFUNCTION, as enabled with CURLOPT_VERBOSE now outputs
+ CURLINFO_HEADER_IN data as well. The most notable effect from this is that
+ using curl -v, you get to see the incoming "headers" as well. This is
+ perhaps most useful when doing ftp.
+
+Daniel (8 Apr)
+- James Bursa fixed a flaw in the Content-Type extraction code, which missed
+ the first letter if no space followed the colon.
+
+- Magnus Nilsson pointed out that share.c was missing in the MSVC project
+ file.
+
+Daniel (6 Apr)
+- Ryan Weaver provided a patch that makes the CA cert bundle not get installed
+ anymore when 'configure --without-ssl' has been used.
+
+Daniel (4 Apr)
+- Martijn Broenland found another cases where a server application didn't
+ like the boundary string used by curl when doing a multi-part/formpost. We
+ modified the boundary string to look like the one IE uses, as this is
+ probably gonna make curl work with more applications.
+
+Daniel (3 Apr)
+- Kevin Roth reported that a bunch of tests fails on cygwin. One set fails
+ when using perl 5.8 (and they run fine with perl 5.6), and another set
+ failed because of an artifact in the test suite's FTP server that I
+ corrected. It turned out the FTP server code was still having a file opened
+ while the main test script removed it and invoked the HTTP server that
+ attempted to create the same file name of the file the FTP server kept open.
+ This operation works fine on unix, but not on cygwin.
+
+Version 7.10.4 (2 Apr 2003)
+
+Daniel (1 Apr)
+- Added test case 505 to exercise FTP upload with rename done with libcurl,
+ and for that I had to extend the test suite's FTP server to deal with the
+ RNFR and RNTO commands.
+
+Daniel (31 Mar)
+- Even more SSL config check modifications after Richard's testing.
+
+Version 7.10.4-pre6 (31 Mar 2003)
+
+Daniel (31 Mar)
+- More fixes for the SSL session ID cache checks when SSL configs are changed
+ between connections. Based on tests and talks with Richard Bramante.
+
+- Guillaume Cottenceau provided a patch that added CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH.
+ When enabled, it will prevent libcurl from limiting to which host it sends
+ user+password to when following locations. By default, libcurl only sends
+ name and password to the original host used in the first URL, but with this
+ option set it will send the auth info to all hosts it follows location
+ headers to. The new tool command line option for this is named
+ "--location-trusted".
+
+- Frankie Fong reported a problem with libcurl if you re-used an easy handle
+ with a proxy, and you first made a https:// connection to a host and then
+ switched to a http:// one to the same host. libcurl would then wrongly re-use
+ the same connection for it and fail to get the second URL properly
+
+Daniel (29 Mar)
+- Dan Shearer's fix that makes curl complain if invoked with nothing but "curl
+ -O" was applied.
+
+Daniel (26 Mar)
+- Bryan Kemp was friendly enough to lend me an account on his Redhat 9 box and
+ I could fix the configure problems on redhat 8.1 and 9 in no time thanks to
+ this. Thanks a bunch Bryan!
+
+Daniel (25 Mar)
+- Renamed configure.in to configure.ac
+
+Version 7.10.4-pre5 (25 Mar 2003)
+
+Daniel (25 Mar)
+- Richard Bramante provided a fix for a handle re-use problem seen when you
+ change options on an SSL-enabled connection between requests. Previously,
+ changing peer verification or host verification and similar things was not
+ taken into account when a connection were checked for re-use and thus
+ enabling stricter check between requests on a re-used connection made no
+ difference and the connection would thus be used erroneously.
+
+Daniel (24 Mar)
+- Götz Babin-Ebell pointed out that the ca-bundle.crt file contained a
+ certificate from Trustcenter that was a demo certificate only that was never
+ intended to be part of a CA bundle.
+
+Daniel (21 Mar)
+- Life is a mystery. Within a time period of 17 hours, Tim Pope and Michael
+ Churchill filed one bug report each, both identifying problems with a second
+ transfer when doing persistent transfers re-using a connection. Tim's one is
+ #706624, labeled "Multiple uploads per handle fail" and Michael's #707003
+ "Does not send Authorization: header when reusing connection". I could track
+ both down to the same piece of logic and it turned out libcurl was not using
+ new settings properly when re-using an existing connection. This concerned
+ both uploading and downloading and involved exactly those pieces these two
+ reports identified. This code has been this faulty since the day I
+ introduced persistent connection support in libcurl, more than 2 years ago.
+
+Daniel (20 Mar 2003)
+- Five year anniversary. Today five years ago, the first ever curl release saw
+ the light of day.
+
+Daniel (17 Mar)
+- Andy Cedilnik corrected flaws in some libcurl example-usage sources.
+
+Daniel (16 Mar)
+- Juan F. Codagnone reported that the fix from March 2nd was incomplete.
+
+- Added code to the configure.in to check for select() argument types. I've
+ not made any code use the results just yet though.
+
+Daniel (15 Mar)
+- Gisle Vanem provided two patches to build better on Windows.
+
+- Adjusted the test suite code to better make sure that the server(s) required
+ for a specific test is properly started before the test case is attempted.
+ Many tests now run a lot faster than before.
+
+Daniel (14 Mar)
+- Another configure.in adjustment made the configure detect functions properly
+ on HPUX now.
+
+Daniel (13 Mar)
+- Philippe Raoult fixed pre4-compile quirks for FreeBSD.
+
+Version 7.10.4-pre4 (13 Mar 2003)
+
+Daniel (13 Mar)
+- Added a backup-check for functions that aren't found by AC_CHECK_FUNCS()
+ as I believe some checks on HPUX need this. At least some of the info given
+ to us by Rick Jones seemed to indicate this.
+
+Daniel (12 Mar)
+- Thomas Tonino found out that if you used the curl tool to do PUT operations
+ as in 'curl www.foo.com/dir/ -T file' and the file name included for example
+ space or other characters that don't belong in URLs, curl did not properly
+ URL encode them before using them in the URL.
+
+- Added an option to configure called --enable-libgcc that simply adds -lgcc
+ to the LIBS variable, as this seems to be a common problem.
+
+- I modified the configure.in file, so that the headers are now checked in an
+ order of "viality". We must also make sure to use the "default headers"
+ parameter to AC_CHECK_HEADERS() so that headers are checked with the proper
+ prerequisites included (i.e all the major and generally important header
+ files are included there by default). This might be what we need for various
+ Sun, HP, AIX and Tru64 systems to behave good again on the header check
+ front.
+
+- Rick Jones pointed out a few compiler warnings on HP-UX that I addressed.
+
+- I made the configure --help output nicer by using AC_HELP_STRING() a lot
+ more.
+
+Daniel (11 Mar)
+- Christophe Demory fixed the socket sending code to work better on HP-UX
+ when sending data to a socket that would block. It then returns EAGAIN, not
+ EWOULDBLOCK.
+
+- Richard Gorton improved the seeding function for systems without a good
+ and reliable random source.
+
+- Richard Gorton fixed a few warnings that popped up when you built curl
+ using the Sun compiler on a 64bit SPARC platform.
+
+- Martin C. Martin fixed a case where a connect failure using the multi
+ interface didn't produce a human readable error string.
+
+Daniel (10 Mar)
+- Reverted ltmain.sh back to libtool 1.4.2 status again, as the 1.4.3 version
+ broke the build on numerous platforms. It seems that libtool 1.4.3 puts some
+ requirements on what versions of the other tools (autoconf + automake) that
+ I am not familiar with and thus I couldn't fulfill at this point.
+
+ Yes, this is more than mildly frustrating.
+
+Daniel (7 Mar)
+- Run libtoolize version 1.4.3.
+
+Version 7.10.4-pre3 (4 Mar 2003)
+
+Daniel (3 Mar)
+- Added share.obj to the VC6 and Borland libcurl makefiles.
+
+- Troels Walsted Hansen found and investigated a problem with libcurl on AIX,
+ presumably only on 4.3 or later. gethostbyname_r() is not returning data
+ that is possible to "keep" and cache the way libcurl does. But instead these
+ versions of AIX uses a gethostbyname() that works thread-safely we can
+ instead use the ordinary gethostbyname() and our pack_hostent() approach to
+ achieve what we want. The configure script now attempts to detect AIX 4.3 or
+ later to adjust for this.
+
+Daniel (2 Mar)
+- Juan F. Codagnone found a problem introduced in 7.10.3 when you first did a
+ POST and then back to a GET using the same easy handle.
+
+Daniel (28 Feb)
+- Removed the strequal and strnequal defines from curl/curl.h header. They
+ were never meant for the public header anyway. Philippe Raoult brought it
+ up.
+
+- James Bursa fixed the RISC OS build.
+
+Daniel (27 Feb)
+- Avery Fay pointed out the very misleading curl_multi_info_read man page, and
+ I updated it to become more accurate.
+
+- Salvatore Sorrentino found a problem with FTP downloading that turned out to
+ be his FTP server returning size zero (0 bytes) when SIZE was used on a file
+ while being in BINARY mode. We now make a second check for the actual size
+ by scanning the RETR reply anyway, even if the SIZE command returned 0.
+
+Daniel (26 Feb)
+- Kyle Sallee reported a case where he would do a transfer that didn't update
+ the progress meter properly. It turned out to be a case where libcurl would
+ loop a little too eagerly in the transfer loop, which isn't really good for
+ the APIs, especially not the multi API.
+
+Version 7.10.4-pre2 (24 Feb 2003)
+
+Daniel (24 Feb)
+- Kjetil Jacobsen found out that setting CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to a value higher
+ than 5 could cause a segfault.
+
+- I believe I fixed the 'Expect: 100-continue' behavior that has been broken
+ for a while (I think since my change dated Dec 10 2002). When this header is
+ used, libcurl should wait for a HTTP 100 (or timeout) before sending the
+ post/put data.
+
+Daniel (14 Feb)
+- Matthew Clarke provided some info what to modify to make curl build
+ flawlessly on AIX 3.2.5.
+
+- Martin C. Martin found and fixed a problem in the multi interface when
+ running on Windows and trying to connect to a port without a listener.
+
+Daniel (13 Feb)
+- Christopher R. Palmer fixed Curl_base64_encode() to deal with zeroes in the
+ data to encode.
+
+Daniel (4 Feb)
+- Jean-Philippe added the first code that enables the 'share' system. This
+ should now enable sharing of DNS data between two curl easy handles.
+
+- Incorporated Nico Baggus' fixes to again compile flawlessly on VMS.
+
+- James Bursa corrected a bad comment in the public include file curl/multi.h
+
+- Peter Forret reported one of those error:00000000 cases in libcurl again
+ when connecting to a HTTPS site, and this time I did discover some oddities
+ in how curl reports SSL errors back. It could miss showing the actual error.
+
+Version 7.10.4-pre1 (3 Feb 2003)
+
+Daniel (3 Feb)
+- Removed things in the docs saying capath doesn't work on Windows, as Julian
+ Noble told us it works fine.
+
+Daniel (31 Jan)
+- Kevin Roth fixed the zlib build stuff in the Mingw32 makefile.
+
+Daniel (30 Jan)
+- Kevin Roth found out that curl on Windows always checked for the CA cert
+ bundle using the environment variable and the path scan, even though
+ -k/--insecure was used.
+
+- Hamish Mackenzie pointed out that curl only did strict host name verifying
+ if capath or cainfo was used. Now it'll always do it unless -k / --insecure
+ is used!
+
+- Pavel Cenek pointed out that the Content-Type extraction was done wrongly
+ as the full string was not fetched. Added test case 57 to verify that curl
+ does it right now.
+
+Daniel (29 Jan)
+- Jamie Wilkinson provided a patch that now makes curl attempt to clear out
+ "sensitive" command line arguments so that they don't appear in ps outputs
+ (only on platforms that allow writing to argv[]).
+
+- John McGowan found out that the DEBUGFUNCTION could be called with bad
+ arguments and thus cause the --trace outputs to go wrong.
+
+- Removed all the emacs local variables from all files. Mats Lidell provided
+ the new sample.emacs file (for a sample of what to include in your .emacs)
+ and the curl-style.el that sets a better c-style for editing curl sources.
+
+- Dave Halbakken found a problem with FTP downloads that could accidently
+ return CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE when curl_easy_perform() was called with NOBODY
+ set TRUE.
+
+Daniel (27 Jan)
+- The fopen.c example was flawed as Nick Humfrey noticed, and I fixed it to
+ work again.
+
+Daniel (24 Jan)
+- Bertrand Demiddelaer found and fixed a memory leak (the content-type string)
+ when following locations.
+
+Daniel (22 Jan 2003)
+- Ian Wilkes and Legoff Vincent both independently provided fixes for making
+ curl/multi.h work properly when compiled with a C++ compiler.
+
+Daniel (20 Jan 2003)
+- Fixed 'buildconf' to check version number of the required tools before
+ they're actually used.
+
+- Wrote 'testcurl.sh', a script targeted for automatic and distributed curl
+ tests on various platforms.
+
+- David Thiel pointed out that the .netrc file was not being dealt with
+ properly anymore. I broke this in the password prompting "fix".
+
+- Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer patched libcurl to allocate the scratch buffer only
+ on demand and thus we save 32KB in each curl handle that don't use that
+ buffer. This need appeared when some people started using thousands of
+ simultaneous curl handles... :-)
+
+Daniel (16 Jan 2003)
+- Markus Oberhumer fixed curl-config --cflags when the includedir was not
+ /usr/include.
+
+- Markus Oberhumer fixed CURLINFO_PRIVATE to properly return NULL if it was
+ set to NULL!
+
+Version 7.10.3 (14 Jan 2003)
+
+Daniel (10 Jan 2003)
+- Steve Oliphant pointed out that test case 105 did not work anymore and this
+ was due to a missing fix for the password prompting.
+
+Version 7.10.3-pre6 (10 Jan 2003)
+
+Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
+- Bryan Kemp pointed out that curl -u could not provide a blank password
+ without prompting the user. It can now. -u username: makes the password
+ empty, while -u username makes curl prompt the user for a password.
+
+- Kjetil Jacobsen found a remaining connect problem in the multi interface on
+ ipv4 systems (Linux only?), that I fixed and Kjetil verified that it fixed
+ his problems.
+
+- memanalyze.pl now reads a file name from the command line, and no longer
+ takes the data on stdin as before.
+
+Version 7.10.3-pre5 (9 Jan 2003)
+
+Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
+- Fixed tests/memanalyze.pl to work with file names that contain colons (as on
+ Windows).
+
+- Kjetil Jacobsen quickly pointed out that lib/share.h was missing...
+
+Version 7.10.3-pre4 (9 Jan 2003)
+
+Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
+- Updated lib/share.c quite a bit to match the design document at
+ http://curl.haxx.se/dev/sharing.txt a lot more.
+
+ I'll try to update the document soonish. share.c is still not actually used
+ by libcurl, but the API is slowly getting there and we can start
+ implementing code that takes advantage of this system.
+
+Daniel (8 Jan 2003)
+- Updated share stuff in curl/curl.h, including data types, structs and
+ function prototypes. The corresponding files in lib/ were also modified
+ of course to remain compilable. Based on input from Jean-Philippe and also
+ to make it more in line with the design document.
+
+- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre patched a very trivial memory leak in
+ curl_escape() that would happen when realloc() returns NULL...
+
+- Matthew Blain provided feedback to make the --create-dirs stuff build
+ properly on Windows.
+
+- Fixed the #include in tests/libtest/first.c as Legoff Vincent pointed out.
+
+Daniel (7 Jan 2003)
+- Philippe Raoult provided a patch that now makes libcurl properly support
+ wildcard checks for certificate names.
+
+- Simon Liu added CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, to let an application set other
+ strings recognized as "HTTP 200" to allow http-like protocols to get
+ downloaded fine by curl.
+
+- Now using autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.2
+
+- Doing "curl -I ftp://domain/non-existing-file" still outputed a date!
+ Wayne Haigh reported.
+
+- The error message is now written properly with a newline in the --trace
+ file.
+
+Daniel (6 Jan 2003)
+- Sterling Hughes fixed a possible bug: previously, if you called
+ curl_easy_perform and then set the global dns cache, the global cache
+ wouldn't be used. Pointed out by Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre.
+
+- Matthew Blain's fixed the VC6 libcurl makefile to include better debug data
+ on debug builds.
