@@ -6,6 +6,24 @@ Changelog +Daniel (24 June 2004) +- 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.
