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) |
