2009-05-20Added "non-existing host" test keywords to make it easy to skip thoseDan Fandrich
tests on machines that have broken DNS configurations (such as those configured to use OpenDNS).
2009-05-19- Kamil Dudka brought the patch from the Redhat bug entryDaniel Stenberg
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427966 which was libcurl closing a bad file descriptor when closing down the FTP data connection. Caolan McNamara seems to be the original author of it.
2009-05-187.19.5 coming upDaniel Stenberg
2009-05-17- James Bursa posted a patch to the mailing list that fixed a problem withDaniel Stenberg
no_proxy which made it not skip the proxy if the URL entered contained a user name. I added test case 1101 to verify.
2009-05-11- Balint Szilakszi reported a memory leak when libcurl did gzip decompressionDaniel Stenberg
of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0092.html
2009-05-11- Kamil Dudka provided a fix for libcurl-NSS reported by Michael CronenworthDaniel Stenberg
at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12 If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.
2009-05-11- I fixed the problem with doing NTLM, POST and then following a 302 redirect,Daniel Stenberg
as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
2009-05-10- Andre Guibert de Bruet correctly pointed out an over-alloc with one wastedDaniel Stenberg
byte in the digest code.

2009-05-08- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic. There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
2009-05-07- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads asDaniel Stenberg
well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
2009-05-07Fix an issue, affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c patch ↵Yang Tse
committed May 4. Additionally some identation fixes.
2009-05-07- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. ProblemsDaniel Stenberg
reported in the Debian package.
2009-05-07- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.

2009-05-04- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did theDaniel Stenberg
corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id in case the re-used one is rejected.
2009-05-04- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib code needs similar fixes.
2009-05-04David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP server ↵Yang Tse
and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when running the FTP test server.
2009-05-04David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and non-ASCII ↵Yang Tse
platform HTTP requests" patch
2009-05-03Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59. The bugDan Fandrich
report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
2009-05-02Use build-time configured curl_socklen_t instead of socklen_tYang Tse
2009-05-01Mention David McCreedy's patches applied todayYang Tse
2009-04-30- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGSDaniel Stenberg
If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like "ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off. I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
2009-04-29- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)Daniel Stenberg
I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl. TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify that this change fixes the reported problem.
2009-04-28- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
2009-04-28- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by TimDaniel Stenberg
Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a pipe. This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read from a stream!
2009-04-26- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by SvenDaniel Stenberg
Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
2009-04-24- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.Daniel Stenberg
2009-04-23- bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by RainerDaniel Stenberg
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the lower case takes precedence,
2009-04-23Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.Dan Fandrich
2009-04-21libcurl's memory.h renamed to curl_memory.hYang Tse
2009-04-21Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files toYang Tse
setup_once.h. Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
2009-04-20- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why andDaniel Stenberg
how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
2009-04-20- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times forDaniel Stenberg
OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str - within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this mistake happening.
2009-04-17- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTPDaniel Stenberg
proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth for the proxy causing an inifinite loop! I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
2009-04-13- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by MartinDaniel Stenberg
Storsjo pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed looked like: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0); The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is 0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully not hit any existing users badly.
2009-04-13- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turnedDaniel Stenberg
out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue is found in Redhat's bug tracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612 There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.
2009-04-11Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.Dan Fandrich
Improved Symbian support for SSL.
2009-04-10Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform allYang Tse
the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
2009-04-08Sun compilers specific preprocessor block removed from curlbuild.h.distYang Tse
2009-04-06- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on successDaniel Stenberg
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes whenever we can think of them...
2009-04-02Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and aYang Tse
non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than 64 and using the ILP32 data model.
2009-04-01- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if aDaniel Stenberg
strdup() call failed.

2009-03-18- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms whenDaniel Stenberg
NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled explicitly.
2009-03-13- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2Daniel Stenberg
library is found to support it.
