This removes a - "manual hassle". You may want to re-run buildconf now. - -- Werner Koch filed Debian bug report #286794, mentioning that curl contained - non-free (by Debian's view) source code. This was Angus Mackay's - src/getpass.c source code. I tried to contact him about it to quickly solve - this issue, but his email addresses bounce and I got some time "over" and - reimplemented the functionality once brought by Angus. We no longer use any - of Angus' original code and the new function is much simpler (IMO). Issue - solved. - -Daniel (24 December 2004) -- David Shaw added --protocols to curl-config, so that it now lists all - protocols libcurl was built to support. --feature no longer lists disabled - protocols. - -Daniel (23 December 2004) -- David Shaw fixed the configure --disable-[protocol] variables so that - curl-config --feature now works correctly! - -Daniel (22 December 2004) -- Rune Kleveland fixed a minor memory leak for received cookies with the - (rare) version attribute set. - -- Marcin Konicki provided two configure fixes and a source fix to make curl - build out-of-the-box on BeOS. - -Daniel (21 December 2004) -- Added test case 217 that verified CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE, and I made the - -w option support 'http_connect' to make it easier to verify! - -- Fixed lib/select.c include order to build fine on FreeBSD - -- Fixed failf()'s reuse of the va_list variable that crashed on FreeBSD. - Pointed out by Peter Pentchev. - -Version 7.12.3 (20 December 2004) - -Daniel (19 December 2004) -- I investigated our PKCS12 build problem on Solaris 2.7 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e, - and it turned out to be the fault of the zlib 1.1.4 headers doing a typedef - named 'free_func' and the OpenSSL headers have a prototype that uses - 'free_func' in one of its arguments. This is why the compile errors out. - - In other words, we need to include the openssl/pkcs12.h header before the - zlib.h header and it builds fine. The configure script now checks for this - file and it then gets included early in lib/urldata.h. - -Daniel (18 December 2004) -- Samuel Listopad added support for PKCS12 formatted certificates. - -- Samuel Listopad fixed -E to support "C:/path" (with forward slash) as well. - -Daniel (16 December 2004) -- Gisle found and fixed a problem in the directory re-use for FTP. - - I added test case 215 and 216 to better verify the functionality. - -- Dinar in bug report #1086121, found a file handle leak when a multipart - formpost (including a file upload part) was aborted before the whole file - was sent. - -Daniel (15 December 2004) -- Tom Lee found out that globbing of strings with backslashes didn't work as - you'd expect. Backslashes are such a central part of windows file names that - forcing backslashes to have to be escaped with backslashes is a bit too - awkward to users. Starting now, you only need to escape globbing characters - such as the five letters: "[]{},". Added test case 214 to verify this. - -Daniel (14 December 2004) -- Harshal Pradhan patched a HTTP persistent connection flaw: if the user name - and/or password were modified between two requests on a persistent - connection, the second request were still made with the first setup! - - I added test case 519 to verify the fix. - -Daniel (13 December 2004) -- Gisle added CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES to curl_easy_getinfo() to allow an app - to list all available crypto ENGINES. - -- Gisle fixed bug report #1083542, which pointed out a problem with resuming - large file (>4GB) file:// transfers on windows. - -Daniel (11 December 2004) -- Made the test suite HTTP server (sws) capable of using IPv6, and then - extended the test environment to support that and also added three test - cases (240, 241, 242) that run tests using IPv6. Test 242 uses a URL that - didn't work before the 10 dec fix by Kai Sommerfeld. - -- Made a failed file:// resume output an error message - -- Corrected the CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME error message in lib/strerror.c - -- Dan Fandrich: - - simplified and consolidated the SSL checks in configure and the usage of the - defines in lib/setup.h - - provided a first libcurl.pc.in file for pkg-config (but the result is not - installed anywhere at this point) - - extended the cross compile section in the docs/INSTALL file - -Daniel (10 December 2004) -- When providing user name in the URL and a IPv6-style IP-address (like in - "ftp://user@[::1]/tmp"), the URL parser didn't get the host extracted - properly. Reported and fixed by Kai Sommerfeld. - -Daniel (9 December 2004) -- Ton Voon provided a configure fix that should fix the notorious (mostly - reported on Solaris) problem where the size_t check fails due to the SSL - libs being found in a dir not searched through by the run-time linker. - patch-tracker entry #1081707. - -- Bryan Henderson pointed out in bug report #1081788 that the curl-config - --vernum output wasn't zero prefixed properly (as claimed in documentation). - This is fixed in maketgz now. - -Daniel (8 December 2004) -- Matt Veenstra updated the mach-O framework files for Mac OS X. - -- Rene Bernhardt found and fixed a buffer overrun in the NTLM code, where - libcurl always and unconditionally overwrote a stack-based array with 3 zero - bytes. This is not an exploitable buffer overflow. No need to get alarmed. - -Daniel (7 December 2004) -- Fixed so that the final error message is sent to the verbose info "stream" - even if no errorbuffer is set. - -Daniel (6 December 2004) -- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-cookies option to configure to build - libcurl without cookie support. This is mainly useful if you want to build a - minimalistic libcurl with no cookies support at all. Like for embedded - systems or similar. - -- Richard Atterer fixed libcurl's way of dealing with the EPSV - response. Previously, libcurl would re-resolve the host name with the new - port number and attempt to connect to that, while it should use the IP from - the control channel. This bug made it hard to EPSV from an FTP server with - multiple IP addresses! - -Daniel (3 December 2004) -- Bug report #1078066: when a chunked transfer was pre-maturely closed exactly - at a chunk boundary it was not considered an error and thus went unnoticed. - Fixed by Maurice Barnum. - - Added test case 207 to verify. - -Daniel (2 December 2004) -- Fixed the CONNECT loop to default timeout to 3600 seconds. - - Added test case 206 that makes CONNECT with Digest. - - Fixed a flaw that prepended "(nil)" to the initial CONNECT rqeuest's user- - agent field. - -Daniel (30 November 2004) -- Dan Fandrich's fix for libz 1.1 and "extra field" usage in a gzip stream - -- Dan also helped me with input data to create three more test cases for the - --compressed option. - -Daniel (29 November 2004) -- I improved the test suite to enable binary contents in the tests (by proving - it base64 encoded), like for testing decompress etc. Added test 220 and 221 - for this purpose. Tests can now also depend on libz to run. - -- As reported by Reinout van Schouwen in Mandrake's bug tracker bug 12285 - (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12285), when connecting to an - IPv6 host with FTP, --disable-epsv (or --disable-eprt) effectively disables - the ability to transfer a file. Now, when connected to an FTP server with - IPv6, these FTP commands can't be disabled even if asked to with the - available libcurl options. - -Daniel (26 November 2004) -- As reported in Mandrake's bug tracker bug 12289 - (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12289), curl would print a - newline to "finish" the progress meter after each redirect and not only - after a completed transfer. - -Daniel (25 November 2004) -- FTP improvements: - - If EPSV, EPRT or LPRT is tried and doesn't work, it will not be retried on - the same server again even if a following request is made using a persistent - connection. - - If a second request is made to a server, requesting a file from the same - directory as the previous request operated on, libcurl will no longer make - that long series of CWD commands just to end up on the same spot. Note that - this is only for *exactly* the same dir. There is still room for improvements - to optimize the CWD-sending when the dirs are only slightly different. - - Added test 210, 211 and 212 to verify these changes. Had to improve the - test script too and added a new primitive to the test file format. - -Daniel (24 November 2004) -- Andrés García fixed the configure script to detect select properly when run - with Msys/Mingw on Windows. - -Daniel (22 November 2004) -- Made HTTP PUT and POST requests no longer use HEAD when doing multi-pass - auth negotiation (NTLM, Digest and Negotiate), but instead use the request - keyword "properly". Details in lib/README.httpauth. This also introduces - CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION and CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, to be used by apps that use the - "any" auth alternative as then libcurl may need to send the PUT/POST data - more than once and thus may need to ask the app to "rewind" the read data - stream to start. - - See also the new example using this: docs/examples/anyauthput.c - -- David Phillips enhanced test 518. I made it depend on a "feature" so that - systems without getrlimit() won't attempt to test 518. configure now checks - for getrlimit() and setrlimit() for this test case. - -Daniel (18 November 2004) -- David Phillips fixed libcurl to not crash anymore when more than FD_SETSIZE - file descriptors are in use. Test case 518 added to verify. - -Daniel (15 November 2004) -- To test my fix for the CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME bug, I added time_redirect and - num_redirects support to the -w writeout option for the command line tool. - -- Wojciech Zwiefka found out that CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME didn't work as - documented. - -Daniel (12 November 2004) -- Gisle Vanem modigied the MSVC and Netware makefiles to build without - libcurl.def - -- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-crypto-auth option to configure to allow - libcurl to build without Digest support. (I figure it should also explicitly - disable Negotiate and NTLM.) - -- *** Modified Behaviour Alert *** - - Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL will no longer do a GET. - - Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" will send a zero byte POST and setting - CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to zero will also make - a zero byte POST. Added test case 515 to verify this. - - Setting CURLOPT_HTTPPOST to NULL makes a zero byte post. Added test case 516 - to verify this. - - CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE must now be set to -1 to signal "we don't know". - Setting it to zero simply says this is a zero byte POST. - - When providing POST data with a read callback, setting the size up front - is now made with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE and not with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE. - -Daniel (11 November 2004) -- Dan Fandrich added --disable-verbose to the configure script to allow builds - without verbose strings in the code, to save some 12KB space. Makes sense - only for systems with very little memory resources. - -- Jeff Phillips found out that a date string with a year beyond 2038 could - crash the new date parser on systems with 32bit time_t. We now check for - this case and deal with it. - -Daniel (10 November 2004) -- I installed Heimdal on my Debian box (using the debian package) and noticed - that configure --with-gssapi failed to create a nice build. Fixed now. - -Daniel (9 November 2004) -- Gisle Vanem marked all external function calls with CURL_EXTERN so that now - the Windows, Netware and other builds no longer need libcurl.def or similar - files. - -Daniel (8 November 2004) -- Made the configure script check for tld.h if libidn was detected, since - libidn 0.3.X didn't have such a header and we don't work with anything - before libidn 0.4.1 anyway! Suse 9.1 apparently ships with a 0.3.X version - of libidn which makes the curl 7.12.2 build fail. Jean-Philippe - Barrette-LaPierre helped pointing this out. - -- Ian Gulliver reported in debian bug report #278691: if curl is invoked in an - environment where stderr is closed the -v output will still be sent to file - descriptor 2 which then might be the network socket handle! Now we have a - weird hack instead that attempts to make sure that file descriptor 2 is - opened (with a call to pipe()) before libcurl is called to do the transfer. - configure now checks for pipe() and systems without pipe don't get the weird - hack done. - -Daniel (5 November 2004) -- Tim Sneddon made libcurl send no more than 64K in a single first chunk when - doing a huge POST on VMS, as this is a system limitation. Default on general - systems is 100K. - -Daniel (4 November 2004) -- Andres Garcia made it build on mingw againa, my --retry code broke the build. - -Daniel (2 November 2004) -- Added --retry-max-time that allows a maximum time that may not have been - reached for a retry to be made. If not set there is no maximum time, only - the amount of retries set with --retry. - -- Paul Nolan provided a patch to make libcurl build nicely on Windows CE. - -Daniel (1 November 2004) -- When cross-compiling, the configure script no longer attempts to use - pkg-config on the build host in order to detect OpenSSL compiler options. - -Daniel (27 October 2004) -- Dan Fandrich: - - An improvement to the gzip handling of libcurl. There were two problems with - the old version: it was possible for a malicious gzip file to cause libcurl - to leak memory, as a buffer was malloced to hold the header and never freed - if the header ended with no file contents. The second problem is that the - 64 KiB decompression buffer was allocated on the stack, which caused - unexpectedly high stack usage and overflowed the stack on some systems - (someone complained about that in the mailing list about a year ago). - - Both problems are fixed by this patch. The first one is fixed when a recent - (1.2) version of zlib is used, as it takes care of gzip header parsing - itself. A check for the version number is done at run-time and libcurl uses - that feature if it's present. I've created a define OLD_ZLIB_SUPPORT that - can be commented out to save some code space if libcurl is guaranteed to be - using a 1.2 version of zlib. - - The second problem is solved by dynamically allocating the memory buffer - instead of storing it on the stack. The allocation/free is done for every - incoming packet, which is suboptimal, but should be dwarfed by the actual - decompression computation. - - I've also factored out some common code between deflate and gzip to reduce - the code footprint somewhat. I've tested the gzip code on a few test files - and I tried deflate using the freshmeat.net server, and it all looks OK. I - didn't try running it with valgrind, however. - -- Added a --retry option to curl that takes a numerical option for the number - of times the operation should be retried. It is retried if a transient error - is detected or if a timeout occurred. By default, it will first wait one - second between the retries and then double the delay time between each retry - until the delay time is ten minutes which then will be the delay time - between all forthcoming retries. You can set a static delay time with - "--retry-delay [num]" where [num] is the number of seconds to wait between - each retry. - -Daniel (25 October 2004) -- Tomas Pospisek filed bug report #1053287 that proved -C - and --fail on a - file that was already completely downloaded caused an error, while it - doesn't if you don't use --fail! I added test case 194 to verify the fix. - Grrr. CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is now added to the list stuff to remove in - libcurl v8 due to all the kludges needed to support it. - -- Mohun Biswas found out that formposting a zero-byte file didn't work very - good. I fixed. - -Daniel (19 October 2004) -- Alexander Krasnostavsky made it possible to make FTP 3rd party transfers - with both source and destination being the same host. It can be useful if - you want to move a file on a server or similar. - -- Guillaume Arluison added CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS to allow an app to figure - out how many new connects a previous transfer required. - - I added %{num_connects} to the curl tool and added test case 192 and 193 - to verify the new code. - -Daniel (18 October 2004) -- Peter Wullinger pointed out that curl should call setlocale() properly to - initiate the specific language operations, to make the IDN stuff work - better. - -Version 7.12.2 (18 October 2004) - -Daniel (16 October 2004) -- Alexander Krasnostavsky made the CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option work - fine even for third party transfers. - -- runekl at opoint.com found out (and provided a fix) that libcurl leaked - memory for cookies with the "max-age" field set. - -Gisle (16 October 2004) -- Issue 50 in TODO-RELEASE; Added Traian Nicolescu's patches for threaded - resolver on Windows. Plugged some potential handle and memory leaks. - -Daniel (14 October 2004) -- Eric Vergnaud pointed out that libcurl didn't treat ?-letters in the user - name and password fields properly in URLs, like - ftp://us?er:pass?word@site.com/. Added test 191 to verify the fix. - -Daniel (11 October 2004) -- libcurl now uses SO_NOSIGPIPE for systems that support it (Mac OS X 10.2 or - later is one) to inhibit the SIGPIPE signal when writing to a socket while - the peer dies. The same effect is provide by the MSG_NOSIGNAL parameter to - send() on other systems. Alan Pinstein verified the fix. - -Daniel (10 October 2004) -- Systems with 64bit longs no longer use strtoll() or our strtoll- replacement - to parse 64 bit numbers. strtol() works fine. Added a configure check to - detect if [constant]LL works and if so, use that in the strtoll replacement - code to work around compiler warnings reported by Andy Cedilnik. - -Gisle (6 October 2004) -- For USE_LIBIDN builds: Added Top-Level-Domain (TLD) check of host-name - used in fix_hostname(). Checks if characters in 'host->name' (indirectly - via 'ace_hostname') are legal according to the TLD tables in libidn. - -Daniel (6 October 2004) -- Chih-Chung Chang reported that if you use CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM and enabled - CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, libcurl reported error if a redirect happened even - if the new URL would provide the resumed file. Test case 188 added to verify - the fix (together with existing test 99). - -- Dan Fandrich fixed a configure flaw for systems that need both nsl and socket - libs to use gethostbyname(). - -- Removed tabs and trailing whitespace from lots of source files. - -Daniel (5 October 2004) -- Made configure --with-libidn=PATH try the given PATH before the default - paths to make it possible to override. - -- If idna_strerror() is present in libidn, we can use that instead of our - internal replacement. This function was added by Simon in libidn 0.5.6 and - is detected by configure. - -- It seems basename() on IRIX is in the libgen library and since we don't use - that, configure finds libgen.h but not basename and then we get a compiler - error because our basename() replacement doesn't match the proto in - libgen.h. Starting now, we don't include the file if basename wasn't found - as well. - -Daniel (4 October 2004) -- Chris found a race condition resulting in CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST and - potential crash, in the windows threaded name resolver code. - -Daniel (3 October 2004) -- Replaced the use of isspace() in cookie.c with our own version instead since - we have most data as 'char *' and that makes us pass in negative values if - there is 8bit data in the string. Changing to unsigned causes too much - warnings or too many required typecasts to the normal string functions. - Harshal Pradhan identified this problem. - -Daniel (2 October 2004) -- Bertrand Demiddelaer found a case where libcurl could read already freed - data when CURLOPT_VERBOSE is used and a (very) persistent connection. It - happened when the dns cache entry for the connection was pruned while the - connection was still alive and then again re-used. We worked together on - this fix. - -- Gisle Vanem provided code that displays an error message when the (libidn - based) IDN conversion fails. This is really due to a missing suitable - function in the libidn API that I hope we can remove once libidn gets a - function like this. - -Daniel (1 October 2004) -- Aleksandar Milivojevic reported a problem in the Redhat bugzilla (see - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134133) and not to - anyone involved in the curl project! This happens when you try to curl a - file from a proftpd site using SSL. It seems proftpd sends a somewhat - unorthodox response code (232 instead of 230). I relaxed the response code - check to deal with this and similar cases. - -- Based on Fedor Karpelevitch's formpost path basename patch, file parts in - formposts no longer include the path part. If you _really_ want them, you - must provide your preferred full file name with CURLFORM_FILENAME. - - Added detection for libgen.h and basename() to configure. My custom - basename() replacement function for systems without it, might be a bit too - naive... - - Updated 6 test cases to make them work with the stripped paths. - -Daniel (30 September 2004) -- Larry Campbell added CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to curl_easy_getinfo() that allows an - app to retrieve the errno variable after a (connect) failure. It will make - sense to provide this for more failures in a more generic way, but let's - start like this. - -- Günter Knauf and Casey O'Donnell worked out an extra #if condition for the - curl/multi.h header to work better in winsock-using apps. - -- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre made buildconf run better on Mac OS X by - properly using glibtoolize instead of plain libtoolize. (This is made if - glibtool was found and used instead of plain libtool.) - -Daniel (29 September 2004) -- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed curl_easy_reset() so that it doesn't mistakingly - enable the progress meter. - -Daniel (28 September 2004) -- "Mekonikum" found out that if you built curl without SSL support, although - your current SSL installation supports Engine, the compile fails. - -Daniel (27 September 2004) -- When --with-ssl=PATH is used to the configure script, it no longer uses - pkg-config to figure out extra details. That is now only done if no PATH is - included or if SSL is checked for by default without the --with-ssl option. - -Daniel (25 September 2004) -- Peter Sylvester pointed out that CURLOPT_SSLENGINE couldn't even be set to - NULL when no engine was supported. It can now. - -Daniel (22 September 2004) -- Dan Fandrich fixed three test cases to no longer use "localhost" but instead - use "127.0.0.1" to avoid requiring that localhost resolves nicely. - -- Jean-Claude Chauve fixed an LDAP crash when more than one record was - retrieved. - -Daniel (19 September 2004) -- Andreas Rieke pointed out that when attempting to connect to a host without - a service on the specified port, curl_easy_perform() didn't properly provide - an error message in the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER buffer. - -Daniel (16 September 2004) -- Daniel at touchtunes uses the FTP+SSL server "BSDFTPD-SSL from - http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/" which accordingly doesn't properly work with curl - when "AUTH SSL" is issued (although the server responds fine and everything) - but requires that curl issues "AUTH TLS" instead. See - http://curl.haxx.se/feedback/display.cgi?id=10951944937603&support=yes - - Introducing CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH that allows the application to select which - of the AUTH strings to attempt first. - -- Anonymous filed bug report #1029478 which identified a bug when you 1) used - a URL without properly seperating the host name and the parameters with a - slash. 2) the URL had parameters to the right of a ? that contains a slash - 3) curl was told to follow Location:s 4) the request got a response that - contained a Location: to redirect to "/dir". curl then appended the new path - on the wrong position of the original URL. - - Test case 187 was added to verify that this was fixed properly. - -Daniel (11 September 2004) -- Added parsedate.c that contains a rewrite of the date parser currently - provided by getdate.y. The new one is MUCH smaller and will allow us to run - away from the yacc/bison jungle. It is also slightly lacking in features - compared to the old one, but it supports parsing of all date formats HTTP - involves (and a fair bunch of others). - -Daniel (10 September 2004) -- As found out by Jonas Forsman, curl didn't allow -F to set Content-Type on - text-parts. Starting now, we can do -F "name=daniel;type=text/extra". Added - test case 186 to verify. - -- Bug report #1025986. When following a Location: with a custom Host: header - replacement, curl only replaced the Host: header on the initial request - and didn't replace it on the following ones. This resulted in requests with - two Host: headers. - - Now, curl checks if the location is on the same host as the initial request - and then continues to replace the Host: header. And when it moves to another - host, it doesn't replace the Host: header but it also doesn't make the - second Host: header get used in the request. - - This change is verified by the two new test cases 184 and 185. - -Daniel (8 September 2004) -- Modified the test suite to be able to use and run with customized port - numbers. This was always intended but never before possible. Now a simple - change in the runtests.pl script can make all tests use different ports. - The default ports in use from now on are 8990 to 8993. - -Daniel (2 September 2004) -- Minor modification of an SSL-related error message. - -Daniel (31 August 2004) -- David Tarendash found out that curl_multi_add_handle() returned - CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM instead of CURLM_OK. - -Daniel (30 August 2004) -- Make "Proxy-Connection: close" close the current proxy connection, as Roman - Koifman found out. - -Daniel (24 August 2004) -- Fixed a getdate problem by post-replacing the getdate.c file after the - bison/yacc process to add the fix Harshal Pradhan suggested. The problem - caused a crash on Windows when parsing some dates. - -Daniel (23 August 2004) -- Roman Koifman pointed out that libcurl send Expect: 100-continue on POSTs - even when told to use HTTP 1.0, which is not correct. Test case 180 and - 181 verify this. - -- Added test case 182 to verify that zero byte transfers call the callback - properly. - -Daniel (20 August 2004) -- Alexander Krasnostavsky made the write callback get called even when a zero - byte file is downloaded. - -Daniel (18 August 2004) -- Ling Thio pointed out that when libcurl is built ipv6-enabled, it still did - reverse DNS lookups when fed with a numerical IP-address (like - http://127.0.0.1/), although it doesn't when built ipv6-disabled. libcurl - should never do reverse lookups. - -Daniel (17 August 2004) -- Kjetil Jacobsen noticed that when transferring a file:// URL pointing to an - empty file, libcurl would return with the file still open. - -- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out that the configure script needs to define - _THREAD_SAFE for AIX systems to make libcurl built really thread-safe. - - Also added a check for the xlc compiler on AIX, and if that is detect we use - the -qthreaded compiler option - -Daniel (16 August 2004) -- libcurl now allows a custom "Accept-Encoding:" header override the - internally set one that gets set with CURLOPT_ENCODING. Pointed out by Alex. - -- Roland Krikava found and fixed a cookie problem when using a proxy (the - path matching was wrong). I added test case 179 to verify that we now do - right. - -Daniel (15 August 2004) -- Casey O'Donnell fixed some MSVC makefile targets to link properly. - -Daniel (11 August 2004) -- configure now defines _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 on systems that need it to build - warning-free (the only known one so far is non-gcc builds on 64bit SGI - IRIX). (Reverted this change later as it caused compiler errors.) - -- the FTP code now includes the server response in the error message when the - server gives back a 530 after the password is provided, as it isn't - necessary because of a bad user name or password. - -Version 7.12.1 (10 August 2004) - -Daniel (10 August 2004) -- In OpenSSL 0.9.7d and earlier, ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8 fails if the input is - already UTF-8 encoded. This made the certificate verification fail if the - remote server used a certificate with the name UTF-8 encoded. - - Work-around brought by Alexis S. L. Carvalho. - -Daniel (9 August 2004) -- I fixed the configure script for krb4 to use -lcom_err as well, as I started - to get link problems with it unless I did that on my Solaris 2.7 box. I - don't understand why I started to get problems with this now! - -Daniel (5 August 2004) -- Enrico Scholz fixed the HTTP-Negotiate service name to be uppercase as - reported in bug report #1004105 - -Daniel (4 August 2004) -- Gisle Vanem provided a fix for the multi interface and connecting to a host - using multiple IP (bad) addresses. - -- Dylan Salisbury made libcurl no longer accept cookies set to a TLD only (it - previously allowed that on the seven three-letter domains). - -Daniel (31 July 2004) -- Joel Chen reported that the digest code assumed quotes around the contents a - bit too much. - -Daniel (28 July 2004) -- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed the host name to get setup properly even when a - connection is re-used, when a proxy is in use. Previously the wrong Host: - header could get sent when re-using a proxy connection to a different target - host. - -- Fixed Brian Akins' reported problems with duplicate Host: headers on re-used - connections. If you attempted to replace the Host: header in the second - request, you got two such headers! - -- src/Makefile.am now includes the Makefile.inc file to get info about files - -Daniel (26 July 2004) -- Made "curl [URL] -o name#2" work as expected. If there's no globbing for the - #-number, it will simply be used as #2 in the file name. - -- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed testing with valgrind 2.1.x and added two missing - newlines in the cookie informationals. - -Daniel (24 July 2004) -- I fixed the autobuilds with ares, since they now need to have buildconf run - in the ares dir before the configure script is run. - -- Added Casey O'Donnell's curl_easy_reset() function. It has a proto in - curl/curl.h but we have no man page yet. - -Daniel (20 July 2004) -- Added buildconf and buildconf.bat to the release archives, since they are - handy for rebuilding curl when using a daily snapshot (and not a pure CVS - checkout). - -Daniel (16 July 2004) -- As suggested by Toby Peterson, libcurl now ignores Content-Length data if the - given size is a negative number. Test case 178 verifies this. - -Daniel (14 July 2004) -- Günter Knauf has made the Netware builds do without the config-netware.h - files, so they are now removed from the dist packages. - -- Günter Knauf made curl and libcurl build with Borland again. - -- Andres Garcia fixed the common test 505 failures on windows. - -Daniel (6 July 2004) -- Andrés García found out why the windows tests failed on file:// "uploads". - -Daniel (2 July 2004) -- Andrés García reported a curl_share_cleanup() crash that occurs when no - lock/unlock callbacks have been set and the share is cleaned up. - -Daniel (1 July 2004) -- When using curl --trace or --trace-ascii, no trace messages that were sent - by curl_easy_cleanup() were included in the trace file. This made the - message "Closing connection #0" never appear in trace dumps. - -Daniel (30 June 2004) -- Niels van Tongeren found that setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE doesn't disable - a previously set POST request, making a very odd request get sent (unless - you disabled the POST) a HEAD request with a POST request-body. I've now - made CURLOPT_NOBODY enforce a proper HEAD. Added test case 514 for this. - -Daniel (29 June 2004) -- Günter Knauf made the testcurl.pl script capable of using a custom setup - file to easier run multiple autobuilds on the same source tree. - -- Gisle fixed the djgpp build and fixed a memory problem in some of the - reorged name resolved code. - -- Fixed code to allow connects done using the multi interface to attempt the - next IP when connecting to a host that resolves to multiple IPs and a - connect attempt fails. - -Daniel (27 June 2004) -- Based on Rob Stanzel's bug report #979480, I wrote a configure check that - checks if poll() can be used to wait on NULL as otherwise select() should be - used to do it. The select() usage was also fixed according to his report. - - Mac OS X 10.3 says "poll() functionality for Mac OS X is implemented via an - emulation layer on top of select(), not in the kernel directly. It is - recommended that programs running under OS X 10.3 prefer select() over - poll(). Configure scripts should look for the _POLL_EMUL_H_ define (instead - of _POLL_H_ or _SYS_POLL_H_) and avoid implementations where poll is not - implemented in the kernel." - - Yes, we can probably use select() on most platforms but today I prefered to - leave the code unaltered. - -Daniel (24 June 2004) -- The standard curl_version() string now only includes version info about - involved libraries and not about particular features. Thus it will no longer - include info about ipv6 nor GSS. That info is of course still available in - the feature bitmask curl_version_info() offers. - -- Replaced all occurances of sprintf() with snprintf(). This is mostly because - it is "A Good Thing" rather than actually fixing any known problem. This - will help preventing future possible mistakes to cause buffer overflows. - -- Major reorganization in the host resolve code (again). This time, I've - modified the code to now always use a linked list of Curl_addrinfo structs - to return resolved info in, no matter what resolver method or support that - is available on the platform. It makes it a lot easier to write code that - uses or depends on resolved data. - - Internally, this means amongst other things that we can stop doing the weird - "increase buffer size until it works" trick when resolving hosts on - ipv4-only with gethostbyname_r(), we support socks even on libcurls built - with ipv6 enabled (but only to socks servers that resolve to an ipv4 - address) and we no longer deep-copy or relocate hostent structs (we create - Curl_addrinfo chains instead). - - The new "hostent to Curl_addrinfo" converter function is named Curl_he2ai() - and is slightly naive and simple, yet I believe it is functional enough to - work for libcurl. - -Daniel (22 June 2004) -- David Cohen pointed out that RFC2109 says clients should allow cookies to - contain least 4096 bytes while libcurl only allowed 2047. I raised the limit - to 4999 now and made the used buffer get malloc()ed instead of simply - allocated on stack as before. Extended test case 46 to include a cookie with - very huge content to verify the fix. - -- Günter Knauf fixed getdate.y to remove a few warnings. I removed the - ifdef'ed test we never ever use anyway. - -- Gisle Vanem fixed the certificate wildcard checks to support a '*'-letter - anywhere in the wildcard string, support multiple '*'-letters in the - wildcard and to allow the '*'-letter to match a string that includes a dot. - -Daniel (21 June 2004) -- testcurl.sh is now removed completely, tests/testcurl.pl is the script to - use when autobuilding curl! - -- Kjetil Jacobsen brought my attention to the fact that you cannot properly - abort an upload with the readfunction callback, since returning 0 or -1 only - stops the upload and libcurl will continue waiting for downloaded data and - the server often waits for the rest of the upload data to arrive. - - Thus, I've now added the ability for read callbacks to return - CURL_READFUNC_ABORT to abort an upload from a read callback. This will stop - the transfer immediately with a CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK return code. - - Test case 513 was added to verify that it works. I had to improve the test - HTTP server too to dump the request to a file even when the client - disconnects prematurely. - -Daniel (19 June 2004) -- Luca Alteas provided a test case with a failing curl operation: when we POST - to a site with --digest (or similar) set, and the server responded with a 302 - Location: to the "authprobe" request, it was not treated correctly. We still - will behave badly if FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled for this case, but I'm not - in the mood to dive into this right now and will leave it as-is for now. - Verified my fix with test case 177. - -Daniel (18 June 2004) -- Gisle Vanem's patch that provides more details from the SSL layers (if you - use an OpenSSL version that supports it). It also introduces two new types - of data that can be sent to the debug callback: CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN and - CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT. - -- With David Byron's test server I could repeat his problem and make sure that - POSTing over HTTPS:// with NTLM works fine now. There was a general problem - with multi-pass authentication with non-GET operations with CONNECT. - -Daniel (16 June 2004) -- Modified to keep the upload byte counter in an curl_off_t, not an int as - before. 32bits is not enough. This is most likely the bug Jean-Louis Lemaire - reported that makes 2GB FTP uploads to report error ("unaligned file sizes") - when completed. - -Daniel (15 June 2004) -- Luca Alteas reported a problem that I fixed: if you did a POST with - CURLAUTH_DIGEST set but the server didn't require any authentication, - libcurl would repeatedly send HEAD lots of times until it gives up. This was - actually the case for all multi-pass authentications. Added test case 174, - 175 and 176 to verify this. - -Daniel (14 June 2004) -- Multipart formposts uploading files no longer inserts the files themselves - into the huge prebuilt chunk. This enables libcurl to formpost files that is - larger than the amount of system memory. When the file given is passed on - stdin, libcurl still uses the old method of reading the full fill before the - upload takes place. This approach was selected in order to not alter the - behavior for existing applications, as when using stdin libcurl can't know - the size of the upload and chunked transfer-encoding can only be used on - HTTP 1.1 servers. - -Daniel (13 June 2004) -- Gisle found out that we did wildcard cert name checks wrong, so that parts - of the check wrongly was case sensitive. - -Daniel (11 June 2004) -- Tim Sneddon brought a minor VMS fix to make curl build properly on his VMS - machine. He also had some interesting libcurl patches... they might be able - to do in a slightly nicer way. Discussions are in progress. - -Daniel (10 June 2004) -- Gisle Vanem brought code cleanupsm better verbose output and better connect - timeout handling when attempting to connect to a host that resolves to - multiple IP addresses. - -- Steven Bazyl and Seshubabu Pasam pointed out a bug on win32 when freeing the - path after a file:// transfer. - -Daniel (9 June 2004) -- Alexander Krasnostavsky made 'configure --disable-http' work to build libcurl - without HTTP support. I added a new return code for curl_formadd() in case - libcurl is built with HTTP disable: CURL_FORMADD_DISABLED. - -- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out a missing file in the generated - curllib.dsp file, and now people building with this should get a libcurl.lib - file generated as it used to do before we generated this file. - -Daniel (8 June 2004) -- Marty Kuhrt fixed a minor build problem for VMS. - -Daniel (7 June 2004) -- Reverted the configure check from the 4th since it obviously didn't work. - Remade it in a different manner that hopefully works better. - -Daniel (4 June 2004) -- Günter Knauf brought patches to make curl build fine on NetWare again. - -- Made the configure checks for strerror_r() not exit the configure script - when built for cross-compiling. - -Daniel (3 June 2004) -- Chris Gaukroger pointed out that 'make test' attempts to run the tests even - if curl is built cross-compiled. I've now made it output a short message - instead, saying it isn't possible to do. - -- Alexander Krasnostavsky brought FTP 3rd party transfer support to libcurl. - You can now use libcurl to transfer files between two remote hosts using - FTP. There are a bunch of new options to control this with: - CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST - CURLOPT_SOURCE_USERPWD - CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH - CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT - CURLOPT_PASV_HOST - CURLOPT_SOURCE_PREQUOTE - CURLOPT_SOURCE_POSTQUOTE - - (They still remain to be documented properly in the curl_easy_setopt man - page.) - - When using this, the ordinary CURLOPT_URL specifies the target URL, and you - specify the source data with these additional options. ftp3rdparty.c is a - new example source code showing how to use this. - -- Vincent Bronner fixed the HTTP Digest code to use the proxy user name and - password when doing proxy authentication, it previously always used the host - user name and password! - -Daniel (2 June 2004) -- CURLOPT_UPLOAD and CURLOPT_PUT now do the exact same thing internally, which - fixes some old confusions on when which of these should be used and what the - differences are. - -- Applied Gisle's fixes to make curl build fine with lcc-win32 - -Version 7.12.0 (2 June 2004) - -Daniel (1 June 2004) -- I clarified the --create-dirs option somewhat in the curl man page. - -- Renaud Duhaut corrected the curl_unescape man page. - -- David Byron modified one of Massimiliano Ziccardi's recent MSVC makefile - changes to now again use the mm lib by default. - -Daniel (26 May 2004) -- Mohun Biswas added release-zlib and debug-zlib targets to the MSVC libcurl - Makefile - -- David Byron reported a problem with proxy authentication when doing CONNECT, - like when accessing HTTPS sites wiht a proxy. This probably broke when I - rewrote the auth stuff recently. - -- I added fileupload.c in the examples directory, showing how an upload to a - file:// URL is made. - -Daniel (25 May 2004) -- Massimiliano Ziccardi updated the MSVC makefiles. - -Daniel (24 May 2004) -- libcurl now supports "uploading" to file:// URLs. Test 204 and 205 were - added to verify. - -- Simon Josefsson added a idn_free() function in libidn 0.4.5 as a reaction to - Gisle's previous mail. We now use this function, and thus we require libidn - 0.4.5 or later. No earlier version will do. - -- Robert D. Young reported that CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE could - not be used both in one request. Fixed it and added test case 172 to verify. - -Daniel (21 May 2004) -- While talking to host a.b.c, libcurl did wrongly not accept cookies that - were set to the domain .a.b.c (that is with a dot prefix). This is now fixed - and test case 171 verifies it. - -Daniel (20 May 2004) -- Jesse Noller reported that the upload speed info reported by libcurl was - wrong. The same was true for the download speed. Fixed now. - -Daniel (19 May 2004) -- David Byron added test case 170 - this used to crash the previous version of - curl. - -Daniel (17 May 2004) -- Peter Sylvester's patch that addresses two flaws in the peer certificate - name verification: - o when multiple common names are used (as in the curl tests), the last name - needs to be selected. - o allow comparing with encoded values, at least with BMP and ISO latin1 - encoded T61strings. - -- All 191 test cases run through the torture test OK! 'make test-torture' is - now available in the root makefile (on configure-based environments). - -Daniel (14 May 2004) -- With a slightly modified ftpserver.pl I've now run almost all tests through - with runtests.pl -t. This is goodness! - -- Since I have been unable to contact the CVS admins for several months, I've - decided that the current CVS hosting was not good enough. I've now moved the - CVS repo once again, see README for updated cvs checkout instructions. - -Daniel (13 May 2004) -- runtests.pl -t now runs fine all the way to test 100. I believe test case - 100 fails because of an FTP server problem. - -Daniel (12 May 2004) -- General cleanups all over to make libcurl survive and do well when a memory - function returns NULL. runtests.pl -t now works fine for the first 26 test - cases. - -Daniel (11 May 2004) -- Seshubabu Pasam provided a patch that introduces curl_global_init_mem() - - like normal curl_global_init() but allows the app to replace all memory - functions with its own set. I modified it slightly. - -- Based on Luca Alteas' comments, I modified the curllib.dsp generation code. - -Daniel (10 May 2004) -- Gisle mailed Simon Josefsson (of libidn fame) about the benefits of a - separate free()-function by that lib to make sure the memory is freed by the - same memory subsystem that allocated it. He responded positively and this - will likely cause us to require a newer version of libidn as soon as Simon - releases one with such a libidn_free() function. - -- James Bursa made runtests.pl's -t option work for any given test case, and I - edited to allow -g too. Not even test case 1 worked... - -- Luca Altea made the nc= field not use quotes in outgoing HTTP Digest headers. - -- Andrés García fixed a problem in the test script that made it fail to - recognize our own running HTTP server. - -Daniel (7 May 2004) -- James Bursa fixed the memanalyze.pl script to conder malloc(0) areas OK to - free() and he made two failed-resolve error messages use the new display- - name instead of the internally-used name. - -- Gisle Vanem tried curl with - www.etdomenenavnkanmaksimaltinneholdesekstitrebokstaversliksomdette.com - which caused problems, and I fixed the single zero byte buffer overwrite - that occurred (due to a stupid protocol buffer size and parser). - -- Made the lib/curllib.dsp file get generated automaticly when a distribution - package is made, with the msvcproj.* files as templates and all - win32-sources added. I think this can be made to work better than the always - lagging-behind previous approach. I'm not sure this builds a working project - file right now though! - -Daniel (6 May 2004) -- Michael Benedict brought a fix that fills in the errorbuffer properly when - ares fails to resolve a name for a case not previously dealt with like this. - -Daniel (5 May 2004) -- Joe Halpin fixed the annoying typecast warning in lib/ldap.c - -- Gisle Vanem fixes: - o memdebug to not access NULL on several places - o libcurl.def; curl_formparse is gone. - o progress.c; fixed the percent values being trunced to 0. - o if2ip.*; constified the 'interface' argument. - -- Tor Arntsen reported that many of his autobuilds froze and I found and fixed - a problem introduced with the HTTP auth overhaul that could lead to a - never-ending internal request-loop due to un-initialized variables! - -- Removed several compiler warnings on various compilers/platforms. - -Daniel (4 May 2004) -- curl_formparse() has been removed from the library. It has been marked and - mentioned as deprecated for several years. - -Daniel (3 May 2004) -- Rewritten HTTP authentication code. The previous code could not properly - deal with the added test cases 167, 168 and 169. I've now rewritten the code - to better separate host and proxy authentication and not re-use the same - variables as much as before as it proved non working in the more involved - cases. All the current tests run OK now, and so do the new ones. The curl - tool got a new option named --proxy-digest to enable HTTP Digest - authentication with the proxy. I also made the library support it. - -- Gisle Vanem made the LDAP code work with wldap32.dll as supplied with - Win-98/ME/2000/XP, so no extra .dlls are required when curl/libcurl is used - on these Windows versions. - -Daniel (30 April 2004) -- runtests.pl now scans the valgrind log for valgrind-detected memory leaks - after each test case if valgrind was found and used. - -- I modified the app-code in curl to include the new lib/curlx.h and only - access those functions using the curlx_-prefix in preparation for the future - removal of several curl_-functions from the public libcurl API. - -- Introduced lib/curlx.h as a single header to provide the curlx_-functions - to apps. - -- Added notices in the man pages for curl_getenv, curl_mprintf, curl_strequal - and curl_strnequal that they are subject for removal in a future release. - STOP USING THESE FUNCTIONS. - -- Mihai Ionescu noticed he couldn't do formposts with whitespace in the file - names and yes, I broke that on April 23. Sigh. I fixed it now and added - test case 166 to verify it. - -- Luca Altea pointed out a mistake left from the Digest patch of yesterday. - -Daniel (29 April 2004) -- Made IDN domains work when sending requsts over HTTP proxy as well. Added - test case 165 to verify the functionality. - -- Fixed a bug in the new internal host name setup when re-using connections. - -- James Bursa found out that curl_easy_duphandle() with ares-built libcurl - created a bad handle that would crash in the first name resolve attempt. This - is now fixed and test case 512 was added to verify it. - -- Luca Altea provided a major HTTP Digest code fix and cleanup. We now follow - the Digest RFC a lot better. - -- Gisle Vanem made the SSL code use ERR_error_string_n() where applicable. - -Daniel (27 April 2004) -- I remodeled Gisle's IDN code slightly and now we convert both the host name - and proxy name to the ACE encoded version to use internally for resolves and - cookies etc. They are now using one 'struct hostname' each that keep both - the original name and the possibly encoded name. IDN resolves work for me - now using ipv6, ipv4 and ares resolving. Even cookies on IDN sites seem to - do right. I got some failures at first when CHARSET wasn't set at all which - confused libidn completely and it decided by encoding of choice was - 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'... - -- made 'configure --without-libidn' work - -Daniel (25 April 2004) -- Fixed the src/hugehelp.c file to include "setup.h" instead of "config.h" to - make the problems with USE_MANUAL on windows go away. - -- configure --without-ssl could still wrongly include some OpenSSL info in the - Makefiles if pkg-config had info about OpenSSL. Bug #941762 reported by - Martin. - -- Since we can now build and use quite a large set of 3rd party libraries, I - decided I would make configure produce a summary at the end showing what - libraries it uses and if not, what option to use to make it use that. I also - added some other random info that is nice in a "configure summary" output. - -- Applied TommyTam's patch that now make curl work with telnet and stdin - properly on Windows. - -- The changes for today below were made by me and Gisle Vanem. - - The file previously known as hostip.c has now undergone a huge cleanup and - split: - - hostip.c explained - ================== - - The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the host*.c - source file are these: - - CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use - that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to - take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4 - defined. - - CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for asynchronous - name resolves. It cannot have ENABLE_IPV6 defined at the same time, as - c-ares has no ipv6 support. This can be Windows or *nix. - - CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native) - Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the - supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds. - - If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If - libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is - defined. - - The host*.c sources files are split up like this: - - hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions - hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves - hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves - hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves - hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves - hostip4.c - ipv4-specific functions - hostip6.c - ipv6-specific functions - - The hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines the - CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and setup.h defines. - -- Added function header comments to many functions in an attempt to better - explain the purpose of them all. - -- configure --with-libidn is now supported. It makes the configure script - check for libidn libs and include files in the prefix path given. If you - say --with-libidn=/usr/local, it will check for the lib in /usr/local/lib - and the includes in /usr/local/include etc. - -- curl_version_info() now returns a struct aged CURLVERSION_THIRD including - libidn version info. The string curl_version() returns also includes libidn - version info, if available. - -Version 7.11.2 (26 April 2004) - -Daniel (25 April 2004) -- Erwin Authried pointed out that configure --disable-manual didn't do right - if you already had a src/hugehelp.c source file present (which most people - do I guess). It now uses the USE_MANUAL define properly. - -Daniel (23 April 2004) -- Gisle Vanem found and fixed a memory leak when doing (failing) Windows - threaded name resolves. - -- I also added test case 163 just to make sure -F "var=<file" works fine and - can pass on characters such as newlines, carriage-return and tabs. - -- When we added test case 162 without adding the necessary requirement field - in the test meta data we could see that curl didn't complain if you used - --proxy-ntlm even if the underlying libcurl it uses has no NTLM support! I - now made it check this first, and it now exists with a "the installed - libcurl version doesn't support this" message if it happens again. - -Daniel (22 April 2004) -- David Byron found and fixed a small bug with the --fail and authentication - stuff added a few weeks ago. Turns out that if you specify --proxy-ntlm and - communicate with a proxy that requires basic authentication, the proxy - properly returns a 407, but the failure detection code doesn't realize it - should give up, so curl returns with exit code 0. Test case 162 added to - verify the functionality. - -- allow newlines in the contents when doing -F "var=[contents]" - Robert Marlow reported. - -- If a transfer is found out to be only partial, libcurl will now treat that - as a problem serious enough to skip the final QUIT command before closing - the control connection. To avoid the risk that it will "hang" waiting for - the QUIT response. Added test case 161 to verify this. - -Daniel (21 April 2004) -- Modified the heuristics for dealing with the test 160 scenario. When a - connection is re-used and nothing at all is received from it (because the - server closes the connection), we will now retry the request on a fresh new - connection. The previous ECONNRESET stuff from January 30 was removed again - as it didn't detect the situation good enough. - -Daniel (20 April 2004) -- Added test case 160 to verify that curl works correctly when it gets a - connection reset when trying to re-use a connection. It should then simply - create a new connection and resend the request. - -Daniel (19 April 2004) -- No more 512 byte limit for host name (inclusing name + password) in libcurl. - An added bonus is that we use less memory for the typical (shorter URL) - case. - -- Cleaned up the sources to better use the terms 'hostname' and 'path' - internally when referring to that data. The buffers used for keep that info - is called 'namebuffer' and 'pathbuffer'. Much easier to read and understand - than the previous mess. - -Daniel (15 April 2004) -- Modified runtests.pl again to remove all log files in the log/ dir between - each test, and then made -p display all non-zero byte files in the log dir. - It should make that data more usable and contain less rubbish. - -- ftpserver.pl now produces log files more similar to how the sws ones look - and they now also contains a bit more details to help debugging ftp - problems. - -- Removed the fixed maximum amount of dir levels the FTP code supported. - Previously we had a fixed array for 100 levels, now we save space in each - handle by allocating only for a few level by default and then enlarging that - in case of need (with no maximum depth). Adjusted test case 142 to verify - that 150 dir levels work fine. An added bonus is that we use less memory - for the typical (not very deep) case. - -Daniel (14 April 2004) -- Asking for CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6 when ipv6 addresses can't be resolved will - now cause the resolve function to return NULL immediately. This flaw was - pointed out by Gisle Vanem. - -- Gisle Vanem made curl -4/-6 actually set the desired option to libcurl. - -- runtests.pl now has a new option (-p) that will display "interesting" log - files to stdout in case of a test failure. This is primarily intended to be - used in the 'full-test' make target that is used by the autobuild tests, as - we then get a much better chance to understand (remote) test failures based - on autobuild logs alone. - -Daniel (13 April 2004) -- Gisle Vanem made the multi interface work again on Windows even when built - without ares. Before this, select() would return -1 during the name resolve - phase since curl_multi_fdset() didn't return any fd_set at all which wasn't - appreciated! - -- curl_easy_duphandle() now duplicates the tcp_nodelay info as well. - -Daniel (11 April 2004) -- Applied David Byron's patch for the MSVC libcurl makefile for builds with - zlib. - -Daniel (9 April 2004) -- Dirk Manske improved the timer resolution for CURLINFO_*_TIME, it can now - be down to usec if the system sypports it. - -Daniel (7 April 2004) -- A request that sends "Expect: 100-continue" and gets nothing but a single - 100 response back will now return a CURLE_GOT_NOTHING. Test 158 verifies. - -- The strtoofft() macro is now named curlx_strtoofft() to use the curlx_* - approach fully. - -Daniel (6 April 2004) -- Gisle Vanem's fixed bug #927979 reported by Nathan O'Sullivan. The problem - made libcurl on Windows leak a small amount of memory in each name resolve - when not used as a DLL. - -- New authentication code added, particularly noticable when doing POST or PUT - with Digest or NTLM. libcurl will now use HEAD to negotiate the - authentication and when done perform the requested POST. Previously libcurl - sent POST immediately and expected the server to reply a final status code - with an error and then libcurl would not send the request-body but instead - send then next request in the sequence. - - The reason for this change is due to IIS6 barfing on libcurl when we attempt - to POST with NTLM authentication. The reason for the problems is found in - RFC2616 section 8.2.3 regarding how servers should deal with the 100 - continue request-header: - - If it responds with a final status code, it MAY close the transport - connection or it MAY continue to read and discard the rest of the - request. - - Previous versions of IIS clearly did close the connection in this case, - while this newer version decided it should "read and discard". That would've - forced us to send the whole POST (or PUT) data only to have it discarded and - then be forced to send it again. To avoid that huge penality, we switch to - using HEAD until we are authenticated and then send the POST. - - The only actual drawback I can think of (except for the odd sites that might - treat HEAD differently than they would treat POST/PUT when given the same - URL) is that if you do POST with CURLAUTH_ANY set and the site requires NO - authentication, libcurl will still use a HEAD in a first round and then do a - POST. - - If you do a HEAD or a GET on a site using CURLAUTH_ANY, libcurl will send - an un-authenticated request at once, which then is the only request if the - site requires no auth. - - Alan Pinstein helped me work out the protocol details by figuring out why - libcurl failed and what IIS6 expects. - -- The --limit-rate logic was corrected and now it works a lot better for - higher speeds, such as '10m' or similar. Reported in bug report #930249. - -- Introducing curlx_tvnow() and curlx_tvdiff() using the new curlx_* fashion. - #include "timeval.h" from the lib dir to get the protos etc. Note that - these are NOT part of the libcurl API. The curl app simply uses the same - source files as the library does and therefore the file needs to be compiled - and linked with curl too, not just when creating libcurl. - -- lib/strerror.c no longer uses sys_nerr on non-windows platforms since it - isn't portable enough - -Daniel (2 April 2004) -- In the curl_strnqual.3 man page, we now prepend the man3 dir to the file - name to work better. As pointed out by Robin Kay. - -- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles. - -- Dirk Manske fixed a problem I recently added in the progress meter code that - broke subsecond resolution for CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME. He also pointed out a - mistake in the code that produces the final update of the progress meter - that would often prevent it from actually being updated that final time. - -Daniel (1 April 2004) -- Dirk Manske fixed a memory leak that happened when we use ares for name - resolves and decides to time-out before ares does it. This fix uses the - brand new ares_cancel() function which is not present in c-ares 1.1.0. - - When told to enable ares, the configure script now checks for presence of - the ares_cancel function to alert users if they attempt to use a too old - c-ares library. - -Daniel (31 March 2004) -- Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur! - -- Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too - easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving. - -- Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe - Mitz Wark's problems are fixed. - -- Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a - flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is - provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always - used as user name). - -- Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage. - -Daniel (30 March 2004) -- Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the - particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel. I've now - written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID - implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still - experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug - (5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file." - -- I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems - to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the - response header). - -- Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name - lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get - completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this. - -- David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely - even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151 - and 152 were added to verify the functionality. - -Daniel (29 March 2004) -- Gisle Vanem updated files for the djgpp/MS-DOS build. - -- Andrés García helped me work out a fix for the runtests.pl script to make - the file:// tests run fine when tested with the mingw-built version of curl. - -- Fixed an include issue with netinet/tcp.h on AIX, based on input by Tor. - This also required a minor fix of the configure script. - -- The postit2.c source example used the wrong struct name for the post data. - -Daniel (26 March 2004) -- Gisle Vanem improved ipv6 support on windows by making the curl build to use - the correct getaddrinfo() function. - -Daniel (25 March 2004) -- It turned out that AIX, despite having a "thread-safe libc", doesn't offer - all traditional functions thread-safe. This URL is informative on this - subject: - - http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/ \ - genprogc/thread_quick_ref.htm - - As a result of this, we now check for three *_r() functions on recent AIX - versions as well that the URL mentions aren't thread-safe in AIX 5.1. - -- renamed curl_strerror.[ch] to strerror.[ch] - -- Joe Halpin added CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY and --tcp-nodelay to make it possible - for users to disable the Nagle algorthim-usage. - -- Tor Arntsen provided some interesting strerror_r() knowledge. glibc has its - own API which differs from the POSIX one. Daniel adjusted the configure - script to detect the version in use, and the code now uses the new defines - accordingly. - -- Fixed some build flaws with the new lib/curl_strerror.c source file. - -Daniel (24 March 2004) -- Gisle Vanem's fix to replace the bad use of strerror(). This introduces - Curl_strerror() that attempts to be thread-safe _and_ works on Windows too! - -- Tor Arntsen spell-fixed lots of libcurl man pages. - -- Tor Arntsen made testcurl.pl work with older perl 5 versions, and Daniel - made it not use chdir .. to go back, as that isn't very good when you've - setup a testdir containing symlinks. - -- Added a check for strerror_r() in the configure script. - -Daniel (23 March 2004) -- Added Greg Hewgill's testcurl.pl script to CVS. We have not moved over to - use this script for the real distributed testing just yet, but it is only - a matter of time. - -- Gisle Vanem provided code that makes curl report a better error message - if --interface fails on windows. - -- The regular progress meter is now fixed to never wrap due to long lines. All - fields are now static sized. If the time in the time fields get a time value - that would represent a time that is 100 hours or more (if not, it remains - using a HH:MM:SS display), it switches first to a "NNNd NNh" display (for - days and hours) and if that isn't enough it switches to a "NNNd" display if - it is more than 999 days. - - Several of the calculations were also moved to fixed-point math instead of - using doubles. - -Daniel (22 March 2004) -- Glen Nakamura noticed CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD didn't work as it - used to do if CURLOPT_NOBODY is set TRUE. - -- Kevin Roth patched the cygwin package makefile and README to adjust to - new cygwin packaging guidelines. - -- Enabled "NT responses" in the NTLM authentication. Doing this simply means - that we provide an extra chunk of data in each "type-3 message". The only - reason for doing this is that it seems that using only the "Lanmanager hash" - (as we've been doing until now) doesn't support passwords longer than 14 - characters and it turns out there are users out there who want to use - libcurl and NTLM with such passwords! ;-) Seven NTLM-related test cases were - updated accordingly. Mentioned as issue 29 in TODO-RELEASE, bug report - #915609 - -- Moved the generated libcurl version info to a new header file, named - curl/curlver.h. Now interested parties can include ONLY version info, should - anyone want that (and it seems at least some windows resource files would). - Mentioned as issue 27 in TODO-RELEASE. - -Daniel (21 March 2004) -- Fixed the root Makefile to use tabs for the netware target. Günter Knauf - pointed this out. - -- Marty Kuhrt's VMS cleanup - -- Thomas Schwinge made buildconf recognize ACLOCAL_FLAGS to invoke aclocal - with particular pre-determined options. - -Version 7.11.1 (19 March 2004) - -Daniel (18 March 2004) -- Tor Arntsen brought some info about SGI IRIX: - - IRIX supports 3 different executable/object formats, -32, -n32 and -64. - -n32 is default 32-bit format, -32 is the "old" 32-bit format, and -64 is - the 64-bit format. Libraries for the different formats are in lib, lib32 - and lib64 respectively. - - We've now adjusted the configure script to adapt to this when scanning for - 3rd party libs, such as OpenSSL. - -Daniel (17 March 2004) -- Watz pointed out a few missing files in the MSVC project description file. - -- Günter Knauf brought patches, code and makefiles to build curl on Novell - NetWare. - -Daniel (15 March 2004) -- Lots of libcurl man pages were updated to contain references to other man - pages the recognized way so that they appear as nice hyperlinks in the HTML - versions. - -- buildconf now checks the m4 version too, since autoconf requires a GNU m4 - version to build proper configure scripts. - -Daniel (12 March 2004) -- Added CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, the large file version of - CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to allow POSTs larger than 2GB. - -- David Byron fixed an uninitialized variable case/crash. - -Daniel (10 March 2004) -- Jeff Lawson fixed the SSL connection to deal with received signals during the - connect. - -- Changed the OS string for win32 to become "i386-pc-win32". - -Daniel (9 March 2004) -- Changed the internals to use curl_socket_t for socket variable type. This - should enable us to build with less warnings on Windows, where SOCKET is - used which is an unsigned int, while most other platforms use a mere int. - -- Modified lib/config-win32.h to build fine on MSVC again. - -Version 7.11.1-pre1 (8 March 2004) - -Daniel (8 March 2004) -- Minor fix to make curl CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE is only set if curl_off_t is - larger than 4 bytes. - -Daniel (4 March 2004) -- Improved PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication, the so called issue 12. - -- Modified the test HTTP server a lot to work with the upcoming changes for - PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication (like test case 88). Added Andrés - García's win32-changes. Improved the logging. - -- Fixed the file:-related progress/getinfo stuff a bit more. - -Daniel (4 March 2004) -- I corrected a problem with the multi interface when following a Location: - header or when doing multiple-request authentications. A subsequent request - could erroneously re-use a previous connection that was sent with - Connection: close. Christopher R. Palmer reported. - -- Andrés García patched curl to prevent warnings while compiling with mingw, - mainly because it is now possible to have both WIN32 and HAVE_CONFIG_H - defined. - -- When transferring files from a file: URL, the progress meter and other - transfer metrics were not updated properly. - -- David Byron provided a "version resource" file to the curl executable for - the windows builds. - -Daniel (3 March 2004) -- David Byron's work on making libcurl only require winsock 1.1 on Windows - machines. - -- More variable cleanups based on compiler warnings generated by Tor Arntsen's - autobuilds with MIPSPro. - -- Joe Halpin helped us fix some pedantic compiler warnings on FreeBSD. - -- Applied Tom Bates' patch to build on nsr-tandem-nsk. - -- Dan Fandrich corrected some flaws in the configure GSS detection. - -Daniel (2 March 2004) -- Fixed the libcurl code to use FORMAT_OFF_T for printf() formatting - curl_off_t types internally. - -Daniel (1 March 2004) -- Added CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE as a feature-bit in the curl_version_info() - response, that signals if this libcurl supports >2GB files. curl -V now - outputs 'Largefile' in the Features: field if this is the case. Most systems - are likely to support this. - -- We offer a CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T define in the public header, which can be used - to printf() curl_off_t variables. We also modified the libcurl sources to - use this define instead of the previous %Od approach (although I've left the - O-flag functional in the code). This should also prevent compilers to warn - on the home-grown option. - -- Fixed the resume-check code to test for a working resume at the end of the - headers and not at the first body-byte. - -- CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is now considered obsolete. Stop using it. If - you need a global DNS cache for whatever reason, use the share interface and - you'll get a global cache that works the way it should work. You can even - have any number of global caches, all at your command. This is now also - mentioned in the docs. - -- Made the *printf code support the z-flag to enable size_t printf() in a - manner similar to how glibc allows it. To make printfing of this work on - platforms with 64bit size_t and 32bit ints. If there even are any! ;-) - -- Christopher R. Palmer discovered that if you CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT and - CURLAUTH_NTLM (or CURLAUTH_ANY and libcurl then picked NTLM), libcurl would - loop without succeeding to authenticate due to the new connection that was - made for all round-trips in the authentication. Now, the FRESH_CONNECT is - remade to only matter for the first connection made with curl_easy_perform() - and all the rest that might follow due to FOLLOWLOCATION or HTTP - authentication are now ignoring that option. - -- Adjusted the QUIT code slightly since it could core-dump. - -- Corrected the test suite's FTP server to provide a correct size to the - 'verifiedserver' request. - -Daniel (27 February 2004) -- Joe Halpin made the FTP code send QUIT on the control connection before - disconnecting the TCP connection. This is what good-behaving ftp clients - should do. - -Daniel (26 February 2004) -- David Byron updated several files to make curl build fine on MSVC 6. He - also added the 'buildconf.bat' that works like the 'buildconf + configure' - combo does on unixes. - -- Gisle Vanem made the memdebug stuff support calloc() as well. - -- Tor Arntsen pointed out that testcurl.sh needed to remove the generated - files in order to have them re-generated in each build. - -- Andy Serpa found out that the share interface did not enjoy life when not - having the lock and unlock callbacks set, even though documented to be - OK. It still is OK, and now the code won't segfault anymore! - -Daniel (25 February 2004) -- Based on a patch by Greg Hewgill I modified how long long is used in the - mprintf code, as we can use a 64bit type with MSVC that is a long long - equivalent. This corrects some weird large file behaviors on windows. - -- Tor Arntsen helped me work out --enable-debug to work better with different - versions of the gcc and icc compilers. - -- Added CURLOPT_SHARE to the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page. - -Daniel (22 February 2004) -- Applied the final pieces of Gisle Vanem's patch that brings a working name - resolve timeout to the windows versions of curl! - -Daniel (21 February 2004) -- David Byron's fix to allow the speed-limit logic work even if you set - limit-rate. It does work on the expense of the rate limiter. - -Daniel (20 February 2004) -- configure --enable-debug with gcc now also tries to detect the icc compiler - (which somehow gets treated as if it is a gcc) to stop using all the gcc - options with it, and we also provide -isystem options for each extra -I - option the configure script has figured out (for OpenSSL, kerberos, zlib, - Heimdal etc). This of course to prevent warnings on headers we don't have - control of. - -Daniel (19 February 2004) -- Doug Porter made libcurl use the HOME environment variable before the - getpwuid results when looking for .netrc files. - -- If 'configure --enable-debug' is used with gcc, it now checks which gcc - version it is and uses as picky compiler options as possible for the - particular version. - -- Code that can be used in both the lib and in the curl app is now made to use - the curlx_ prefix. The first function to be available like this is the - curlx_strtoll() function. This is made to allow the app to use existing code, - but without polluting the libcurl API. Further explanations posted here: - - http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-02/0215.html - -Daniel (18 February 2004) -- Fixed buildconf to not use "which" as AIX and Tru64 have what have been - referred to as "horribly broken 'which' programs". - -- Made sure dns cache timeout set to -1 really means caching forever. - -Daniel (17 February 2004) -- Made it possibly to build c-ares with the libcurl memdebug system to better - track memory. - -Daniel (16 February 2004) -- When using ares, we now initialize the ares 'channel' in curl_easy_init() - and re-use that same handle during the entire curl handle's life-time. It - improves performance. - -- Fixed a problem when displaying verbose for ipv6-enabled libcurls and - re-used connections. Problem reported and fix verified by Grigory Entin. - -- Jeff Lawson fixed the version-check in the SOCKS5 code. - -Daniel (15 February 2004) -- Fixed a case where a host cache entry was not flagged in-use properly when a - cached entry was used. - -- Andrés García's patch that checks for winmm in the configure script was - applied. - -Daniel (13 February 2004) -- Ben Greear's SO_BINDTODEVICE patch for the binding of the local end to a - specific network interface. - -- Greg Hewgill found out that the variable holding 'contentlength' wasn't big - enough to hold a large file! - -- Tor Arntsen fixed a 64bit-related problem in date-related code in the ftp - department, and there was another potential problem in the name resolve code - too. - -Daniel (11 February 2004) -- Removed a few variables that were only set but never used, as some compilers - warn about that and we do not like compiler warnings! - -- Removed the need for symlinks in the tests/data directory if curl is built - outside of the source directory and the 'make test' is used. This was done - by providing a "source dir path" to the scripts/servers. - -- Now, if the configure script can't find an nroff tool or an option to nroff - to use to convert man pages with, it will completely switch off the built-in - manual. - -- 'configure --disable-manual' completely disables the built-in manual from - the curl command tool. - -- Andrés García fixed the configure script and a minor source edit, and now - he has managed to get msys/mingw to run configure and then build! - -Daniel (9 February 2004) -- The default HTTP Accept: header was modified to the much simpler - "Accept: */*". - -- P R Schaffner updated the curl-ssl spec file for RPMs. - -- Dominick Meglio brought lots of documentation for the share interface's man - pages that were previously missing. - -- Tor Arntsen provided a patch that makes libcurl work-around a bug in the - AIX5 implementation of getaddrinfo(). This makes the FTP PORT stuff work on - ipv6-enabled AIX builds. - -- Ken Rastatter provided portability fixes for the curlgtk.c example, and now - it runs on windows with GTK as well! - -Daniel (6 February 2004) -- Andrés García made the configure script find gethostbyname() fine when run - with mingw on windows. - -- Modified the ldap code to use proper function pointers all over (instead of - mixed data and function pointers) to work-around the picky MIPSPro compiler - warnings. - -- A custom Host: header is only considered if the request is not made by - following a location. After discussions with Tim Baker. - -Daniel (5 February 2004) -- The libz part of the configure script now only set the two libz-related - define HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_LIBZ if both the lib and the header is found. - If one is missing, none of the defines is set. - -- Andrés García fixed the Mingw makefiles. - -- Len Krause reported that curl 7.9.X could do uploading from stdin without - doing chunked encoding, which current curl cannot do even if you disable - the transfer-encoding chunked header. Now it can again, and test case 98 - verifies this functionality. - -- Tor Arntsen fixed a weird getaddrinfo() usage in the FTP code, preventing - the ipv6-code for PORT work on AIX 5.2. We now also provide (better) error - messages when bailing out in the that function. - -- Tor Arntsen now provides AIX and IRIX (using gcc, xlc and the MIPSPro - compilers) automated build logs (http://curl.haxx.se/auto/) and we've fixed - numerous minor quirks to make less warnings appear. - -Daniel (4 February 2004) -- Based on a patch by Gilad, we now use the custom timeouts when waiting for a - server to connect when using FTP PORT. Previously we always waited 10 - seconds, no more no less. We now also changed the default (if no timeout is - set) to wait 60 seconds for the connect before we fail. - -Daniel (3 February 2004) -- Modified to link with c-ares instead of ares. - -Daniel (2 February 2004) -- Added a configure test to check for which option the (g)nroff tool wants - to extract plain text from the man pages. Tor Arntsen told us the AIX - version of GNU gnroff doesn't support -man! - -- Added an undef of accept in memdebug.h to make curl build with --enable-debug - on AIX 5.2 which seems to have accept defined. Reported by Tor Arntsen. - -- curl_version() now includes c-ares version info, and curl_version_info() now - returns a struct with version SECOND that also includes that info. - -- We are now officially using c-ares for asynch name resolves. c-ares is the - new library, based on the existing ares but with an extended and slightly - modified API. - -- Dirk improved the ares timeout code, and now we also include the ares error - string when we fail to resolve a name. - -- Another tweak to make test case 91 run fine. Now we have another bit on a - connection that is set true if the connection is marked for 'retry'. That - makes the connection get closed and re-opened and the HTTP-done code must - not complain on the fact that no data was received. - -- Based on Dirk Manske's patch, I modified the name resolving with ares to - feature a timeout for really slow lookups. It now defaults to 300 seconds, - but is now adjusted to the CONNECTTIMEOUT/TIMOUE timeouts if one of them - is set. - -- Fixed the inclusion of ca-bundle.h to really use the one in the build dir - before the one in the source dir. Domenico Andreoli found out and reported. - -- Added test case 97, a simple POST with a custom Content-Type header - replacing the original application/x-www-form-urlencoded one. - -Daniel (30 January 2004) -- Added code that attempts to fix the test 91 failure. As has been figured out - by Patrick Smith, the error happens because we re-use a connection that the - server is just about to close and we even manage to send away the request - without seeing an error. On the first read attempt we get a ECONNRESET. - Starting now, we attempt to detect this and if so, we retry the request on a - fresh connection. - -- I added test case 510 which is a custom program that does a POST using a - read callback, with chunked transfer-encoding. - -- Adjusted one of the MPE/iX changes as it made test case 504 fail all over. - -- Added --socks as a recognized option. It works just like --proxy but sets a - SOCKS5 proxy to use. SOCKS5 support has been available in libcurl for a - while, just not provided by the curl tool. This does not currently work for - IPv6-enabled libcurls. - -Daniel (29 January 2004) -- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without - checking the define if its present... - -- Ken Hirsch provided patches to make curl build fine on the MPE/iX operating - system. - -- Dan Fandrich compiled curl with lots of aggressively pedantic compiler - options and thus found a few minor errors and did some general cleanups to - avoid them. - -- Dirk Manske fixed a flaw in ares that prevented it to use non-blocking - sockets properly. - -Daniel (28 January 2004) -- Richard Bramante fixed chunked transfer-encoded "uploads" to send a final - CRLF combo properly. - -Daniel (27 January 2004) -- Made the response-headers during a CONNECT request to a proxy get passed on - as regular headers, so they appear with -i/-I options and similar. - -- Based on a patch by Gisle Vanem, I've made the progress meter display - properly switch to a GB-display when more than 9999MB have been transfered. - -Daniel (23 January 2004) -- Gisle Vanem pointed out a curlrc parser problem/crash when an option with a - required didn't have one and was on the last line of a file. - -- More Windows fixes for large files. We now build and link with - ../lib/strtoofft.c in the app code since Curl_strtoll() is not a provided - libcurl function... Perhaps we should consider a 'common' dir or similar - where we put source code used in both the lib and the client. Or perhaps - we'll just make this function available in the library... - -- Vincent Bronner found out the socks5 code crashed when no username was - set. - -- Vincent Bronner spotted a problem with proxy username/password when re-using - a persistent connection. - -- Fixed the progress meter display for files larger than 2^31 bytes. Gisle - Vanem reported. - -Daniel (22 January 2004) -- Gisle Vanem made strtoll() get used when curl is built with the mingw - compiler. - -- Gisle Vanem fixed the compressed help text code to display properly. - -- Removed the '#define HttpPost' from the public header file, as curl_httppost - is the proper name and it has been for quite some time now. Fixes another - name space pollution. - -- Added 'curl_off_t' typedef in the public header file, to be used to provide - large file sizes to the *_LARGE options. Adjusted the code all over to use - this variable type instead of 'off_t'. This is an attempt to make the large - file support work on more platforms. The configure script now checks the - size of the curl_off_t instead of the plain off_t. - -Version 7.11.0 (22 January 2004) - -Daniel (21 January 2004) -- Removed the defines in the public header file with TIMECOND_ prefixes. They - have been obsolete since April 22nd 2002, and if this causes anyone any - problems now it is very easy to just add CURL_ to the names. This corrects - this name space pollution. - -Daniel (19 January 2004) -- David Byron cleaned up how --trace with no option was treated, and also - arguments in a config file without a required parameter! - -Daniel (16 January 2004) -- Gisle Vanem fixed a few issues where compilers warned about variables - possibly being used unassigned. - -- Minor Interix build problem fixed. - -Daniel (15 January 2004) -- Peter Sylvester pointed out some necessary escaping needed in the - acinclude.m4 file when automake 1.8 or later is used. - -Daniel (14 January 2004) -- Vincent Bronner fixed the Curl_resolv() return code. This extends the fix - Steve Green provided on december 3... - -Daniel (13 January 2004) -- Luke Call made the win32 version of the password prompting function support - backspace. - -- Dan Fandrich fixed the hugehelp source file to contain both a compressed and - an uncompressed version in the distribution, so that more people easier can - build curl with the compressed version. - -- Diego Casorran brought another AmigaOS build patch for native Amiga builds. - -- Matt Veenstra updated the Mac OS X framework files. - -- Brian R Duffy brought a section to the INSTALL file on how to build a - SSL-enabled curl using the free Borland C++ compiler. He also updated the - Borland lib/Makefile.b32. - -- I fixed the test case 509 which I broke yesterday. Now the libtest are - compiled with an include path that points to the library's source dir, so - that the libtests can include files from the source tree. This was made to - make it possible to use the USE_SSLEAY define in the library test files. - -Daniel (12 January 2004) -- Peter Sylvester brought code that now allows a callback to modified the URL - even when the multi interface is used, and then libcurl will simulate a - "follow location" to that new URL. Test 509 was added to test this feature. - -- Extended the time we retry servers in the test script, and I also made it - retry the https and ftps servers before they are considered bad. I believe - the previous approach could turn problematic on really slow hosts. - -Version 7.11.0-pre1 (12 January 2004) - -Daniel (11 January 2004) -- Dominick Meglio pointed out FTPS should use default port 990 according to - IANA. - -Daniel (8 January 2004) -- Fixed the SPNEGO configure check to not use -R or other non-portable options - in the LDFLAGS. Reported by Pierre in bug report #872930. - -Daniel (5 January 2004) -- Dan Fandrich provided a fix on our zlib usage. - -- David J Meyer's patch that introduce large file support to libcurl was - applied. New curl_easy_setopt options that accept 'off_t' arguments are: - - INFILESIZE_LARGE - RESUME_FROM_LARGE - MAXFILESIZE_LARGE - -Daniel (4 January 2004) -- Based on Dominick Meglio's comments, I made our private version of - gettimeofday() declared static. This would otherwise collide with the same - function in other libs (like ares for example). - -- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares - on win32. |
