@@ -6,6 +6,42 @@ History of Changes +Daniel (12 November 2001) +- Kai-Uwe Rommel made me aware that -p (http proxy tunnel) silly enough didn't + work for plain HTTP requests! So I made that work. + +Version 7.9.2-pre1 + +Daniel (12 November 2001) +- Rewrote the Curl_ConnectHTTPProxyTunnel(). It should now not only work a lot + faster, it should only support such ("broken") proxies that John Lask + previously have reported problems with. His proxy sends a trailing zero byte + after the end of the (proxy-) headers. I've tested this myself and it seems + to work on a proxy the previous version also worked with...! This rewrite is + due to the problems John Lask previously experienced. + +- Andrés García found out why the "current speed" meter sometimes showed 2048K + for very quick transfers. It turned out the "time diff"-function returned a + zero millisecond diff. We now always say it is at least one millisecond! In + reality, these timers very rarely have that good resolution so even though + the time diff was longer than 1 millisecond, it was reported as no diff. + +- I also modified the getinfo() again when returning times, as Paul Harrington + reports that 7.9.1 only returns times with 1 second accuracy, which indeed + is wrong. + +Daniel (8 November 2001) +- Marcus Webster found out that curl_formadd() could read one byte outside a + buffer boundary, which then of course could lead to a crash. Marcus also + gracefully provided a patch for this this. + +- Glen Scott ran configure on his Cobalt Qube and it didn't figure out the + correct way of calling gethostbyname_r() and thus failed to resolve hosts. + This is two errors: it shouldn't continue the configure script if it finds + gethostbyname_r() but can't figure out how to use it, and it should really + figure out how to use it as it was running Linux and we know how that + works... + Daniel (7 November 2001) - docs/VERSIONS is a new file in the archive that explains the version number system we use in the curl project. |
