Now why did problems occur before? + +- Fred Noz reported a -w/--write-out bug that caused it to malfunction when + used combined with multiple URL retrievales. All but the first display got + screwed up! + +Daniel (11 August 2000) +- Jason Priebe and an anynomous friend found some host names the Linux version + of curl could not resolve. It turned out the buffer used to retrieve that + information was too small. Fixed. One could argue about the usefulness of + not having the slightest trace of a man page for gethostbyname_r() on my + Linux Redhat installation... + +Daniel (10 August 2000) +- Balaji S Rao missed the possibility of replacing the Content-Type: and + Content-Length: headers when doing -d posts. I added the possibility just now + +Daniel (8 August 2000) +- Mike Dowell correctly discovered that curl did not approve URLs with no user + name but password. As in 'http://:foo@haxx.se'. I corrected this. + +Version 7.1 + +Daniel (7 August 2000) +- My AIX 4 fix does not work. I need help from a AIX 4 hacker. + +- I added my new document in the docs directory. It is aimed to become a sort + of tutorial on how to do HTTP scripting with curl. + +Daniel (4 August 2000) +- Working with Rich Gray on compiling curl for lots of different platforms. + My fix for AIX 3.2 was not good enough and was slightly changed, I had to + move an include file before another, as is now described in the source. + + AIX 4.2 (4.X?) has different gethostbyname_r() and gethostbyaddr_r() + functions that the configure script didn't check for and thus the compile + broke with an error. I have now changed the gethostbyname_r() check in the + configure file to support all three versions of both these functions. My + implementation that uses the AIX-style is though not yet verified and I may + get problems to fix it if it turns out to bug since I don't have access to + any system using that. + + For problems like that, I made the configure script allow --disable-thread + to completely switch off the check for threadsafe versions of a few + functions and thus go with the "good old versions" that tend to work + although will break thread-safeness for libcurl. Most people won't use + libcurl for other things than curl though, and curl doesn't need a + thread-safe lib. + +- Working on my big tutorial about HTTP scripting with curl. + +Daniel (1 August 2000) +- Rich Gray spotted a problem in src/setup.h caused by a #define strequal() + that was just a left-over from passed times. The strequal() is now a true + function supplied by libcurl for a portable case insensitive string + comparison. I added the prototypes in include/curl.h and removed the + now obsolete #define. + +- Igor Khristophorov made a fix to allow resumed download from Sun's + JavaWebServer/1.1.1. It seems that their server sends bad Content-Range + headers. + +- The makefiles forced a static library build, which is bad since we now use + libtool and thus have excellent shared library support!
