2008-02-09Added key words to all SSL-using tests so they can be skipped if necessary.Dan Fandrich
Removed a few unnecessary requires SSL statements.
2008-02-08- Mike Hommey filed and fixed bug report #1889856Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1889856): When using the gnutls ssl layer, cleaning-up and reinitializing curl ends up with https requests failing with "ASN1 parser: Element was not found" errors. Obviously a regression added in 7.16.3.
2008-02-08To verify that the sftp server is actually running, responsive and thatYang Tse
all curl's tests generated configuration and key files are fine, a real connection is established to the test harness sftp server authenticating and running a simple sftp remote pwd command. The verification is done using OpenSSH's or SunSSH's sftp client tool with a configuration file with the same options as the test harness socks server with the exception that dynamic forwarding is not used for sftp.
2008-02-08Günter Knauf added lib/mk-ca-bundle.pl which gets the Firefox ca bundle andDaniel Stenberg
creates a suitable ca-bundle.crt file in PEM format for use with curl. The recommended way to run it is to use 'make ca-bundle' in the build tree root.
2008-02-08Added tests 1022 and 1023 to validate output of curl-config --version andDan Fandrich
--vernum
2008-02-07- Refactored a lot of timeout code into a few functions in an attempt to makeDaniel Stenberg
them all use the same (hopefully correct) logic to make it less error-prone and easier to introduce library-wide where it should be used.
2008-02-06Fix problem in strdup replacement when dealing with absolutely huge strings.Yang Tse
2008-02-03- Dmitry Kurochkin cleaned up the pipelining code and removed the need for andDaniel Stenberg
use of the "is_in_pipeline" struct field.
2008-01-31- Niklas Angebrand made the cookie support in libcurl properly deal with theDaniel Stenberg
"HttpOnly" feature introduced by Microsoft and apparently also supported by Firefox: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533046.aspx . HttpOnly is now supported when received from servers in HTTP headers, when written to cookie jars and when read from existing cookie jars.
2008-01-31- Dmitry Kurochkin moved several struct fields from the connectdata struct toDaniel Stenberg
the SingleRequest one to make pipelining better. It is a bit tricky to keep them in the right place, to keep things related to the actual request or to the actual connection in the right place.
2008-01-29- Dmitry Kurochkin fixed Curl_done() for pipelining, as it could previouslyDaniel Stenberg
crash!
2008-01-29- Michal Marek fixed minor mistake in test case 553 that prevented it fromDaniel Stenberg
working on other IP-addresses or port numbers.
2008-01-287.18.0Daniel Stenberg
2008-01-27Dmitry Kurochkin: In "real world" testing I found more bugs inDaniel Stenberg
pipelining. Broken connection is not restored and we get into infinite loop. It happens because of wrong is_in_pipeline values.
2008-01-25- Kevin Reed filed bug report #1879375Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375) which describes how libcurl got lost in this scenario: proxy tunnel (or HTTPS over proxy), ask to do any proxy authentication and the proxy replies with an auth (like NTLM) and then closes the connection after that initial informational response. libcurl would not properly re-initialize the connection to the proxy and continue the auth negotiation like supposed. It does now however, as it will now detect if one or more authentication methods were available and asked for, and will thus retry the connection and continue from there. - I made the progress callback get called properly during proxy CONNECT.
2008-01-24and Igor Franchuk is his name!Daniel Stenberg
2008-01-23"Igor" pointed out that CURLOPT_COOKIELIST set to "ALL" leaked memory, and soDaniel Stenberg
did "SESS". Fixed now.
2008-01-22check availability of poll.h header at configuration time, and includeYang Tse
it when sys/poll.h is unavailable
2008-01-21Dmitry Kurochkin removed the cancelled state for pipelining, as we agreedDaniel Stenberg
that it is bad anyway. Starting now, removing a handle that is in used in a pipeline will break the pipeline - it'll be set back up again but still...
2008-01-21Disable ldap support for cygwin builds, since it breaks whole build process.Yang Tse
2008-01-18Lau Hang Kin found and fixed a problem with the multi interface when doingDaniel Stenberg
CONNECT over a proxy. curl_multi_fdset() didn't report back the socket properly during that state, due to a missing case in the switch in the multi_getsock() function.
2008-01-17Don't abort tests 518 and 537 when unable to raise the open-file soft limitYang Tse
2008-01-16Nathan Coulter's patch that makes runtests.pl respect the PATH when figuringDaniel Stenberg
out what valgrind to run.
2008-01-16fix handling of out of memory in the command line tool that afectedYang Tse
data url encoded HTTP POSTs when reading it from a file.
2008-01-16Dmitry Kurochkin worked a lot on improving the HTTP Pipelining support thatDaniel Stenberg
previously had a number of flaws, perhaps most notably when an application fired up N transfers at once as then they wouldn't pipeline at all that nicely as anyone would think... Test case 530 was also updated to take the improved functionality into account.
2008-01-15Calls to Curl_failf() are not supposed to provide a trailing newline as theDaniel Stenberg
function itself adds that. Fixed on 50 or something strings!
2008-01-15I made the torture test on test 530 go through. This was actually due toDaniel Stenberg
silly code left from when we switched to let the multi handle "hold" the dns cache when using the multi interface... Of course this only triggered when a certain function call returned error at the correct moment.
2008-01-14Joe Malicki filed bug report #1871269Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1871269) and we could fix his hang- problem that occurred when doing a large HTTP POST request with the response-body read from a callback.
2008-01-12I re-arranged the curl --help output. All the options are now sorted onDaniel Stenberg
their long option names and all descriptions are one-liners.
2008-01-12Eric Landes provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces theDaniel Stenberg
--keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new option.
2008-01-11Daniel Egger made CURLOPT_RANGE work on file:// URLs the very same way itDaniel Stenberg
already worked for FTP:// URLs
2008-01-11I made the curl tool switch from using CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION to now use theDaniel Stenberg
spanking new CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION simply to take advantage of the improved performance for the upload resume cases where you want to upload the last few bytes of a very large file. To implement this decently, I had to switch the client code for uploading from fopen()/fread() to plain open()/read() so that we can use lseek() to do >32bit seeks (as fseek() doesn't allow that) on systems that offer support for that.
2008-01-10Michal Marek made curl-config --libs not include /usr/lib64 in the outputDaniel Stenberg
(it already before skipped /usr/lib). /usr/lib64 is the default library directory on many 64bit systems and it's unlikely that anyone would use the path privately on systems where it's not.
2008-01-10Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allowDaniel Stenberg
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
2008-01-10Nikitinskit Dmitriy filed bug report #1868255Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1868255) with a patch. It identifies and fixes a problem with parsing WWW-Authenticate: headers with additional spaces in the line that the parser wasn't written to deal with.
2008-01-08Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the readDaniel Stenberg
and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or writing get paused.
2008-01-06Jeff Johnson filed bug report #1863171Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1863171) where he pointed out that libcurl's date parser didn't accept a +1300 time zone which actually is used fairly often (like New Zealand's Dailight Savings Time), so I modified the parser to now accept up to and including -1400 to +1400.
2008-01-05Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5Daniel Stenberg
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new curl_easy_setopt() option. The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
2008-01-04Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let theDaniel Stenberg
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
2008-01-03Modify test harness so that the minimum SSH version required to runYang Tse
SCP, SFTP and SOCKS4 tests is now OpenSSH 2.9.9 or SunSSH 1.0 For SOCKS5 tests minimum versions are OpenSSH 3.7 or SunSSH 1.0
2008-01-02- I fixed two cases of missing return code checks when handling chunkedDaniel Stenberg
decoding where a write error (or abort return from a callback) didn't stop libcurl's processing.
2008-01-02I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and insteadDaniel Stenberg
made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.
2008-01-02Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies, whichDaniel Stenberg
is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5). --socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
2008-01-01Mohun Biswas pointed out that --libcurl generated a source code with an intDaniel Stenberg
function but without a return statement. While fixing that, I also took care about adding some better comments for the generated code.
2007-12-26Dmitry Kurochkin mentioned a flawDaniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-12/0252.html) in detect_proxy() which failed to set the bits.proxy variable properly when an environment variable told libcurl to use a http proxy.
2007-12-26In an attempt to repeat the problem in bug report #1850730Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1850730) I wrote up test case 552. The test is doing a 70K POST with a read callback and an ioctl callback over a proxy requiring Digest auth. The test case code is more or less identical to the test recipe code provided by Spacen Jasset (who submitted the bug report).
2007-12-24Gary Maxwell filed bug report #1856628Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1856628) and provided a fix for the (small) memory leak in the SSL session ID caching code. It happened when a previous entry in the cache was re-used.
2007-12-19Ensure that nroff doesn't put anything but ASCII characters into theDan Fandrich
--manual text.
2007-12-18(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2007-12/0039.html) reported and fixedYang Tse
a file truncation problem on Windows build targets triggered when retrying a download with curl.
2007-12-18MSVC 9.0 (VS2008) does not support Windows build targets prior to WinXP,Yang Tse
and makes wrong asumptions of build target when it isn't specified. So, if no build target has been defined we will target WinXP when building with MSVC 9.0 (VS2008).
