2009-11-20- Constantine Sapuntzakis identified a write after close, as the sockets wereDaniel Stenberg
closed by libcurl before the SSL lib were shutdown and they may write to its socket. Detected to at least happen with OpenSSL builds.
2009-11-20- Jad Chamcham pointed out a bug with connection re-use. If a connection hadDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.
2009-11-17- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided another fix for the DNS cache that couldDaniel Stenberg
end up with entries that wouldn't time-out: 1. Set up a first web server that redirects (307) to a http://server:port that's down 2. Have curl connect to the first web server using curl multi After the curl_easy_cleanup call, there will be curl dns entries hanging around with in_use != 0. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
2009-11-17- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure intoDaniel Stenberg
its pkg-config file. So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
2009-11-15- David Byron improved the configure script to use pkg-config to find OpenSSLKamil Dudka
(and in particular the list of required libraries) even if a path is given as argument to --with-ssl
2009-11-14Added '--configure' option to curl-config to display original configure ↵Claes Jakobsson
arguments when curl was built
2009-11-14- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS whenDaniel Stenberg
--with-nss is set but not "yes". I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc, but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
2009-11-14- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE forDaniel Stenberg
the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)
2009-11-14- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connectionYang Tse
won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.
2009-11-12- libcurl-NSS now tries to reconnect with TLS disabled in case it detectsKamil Dudka
a broken TLS server. However it does not happen if SSL version is selected manually. The approach was originally taken from PSM. Kaspar Brand helped me to complete the patch. Original bug reports: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/525496 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/527771
2009-11-12- Kevin Baughman provided a fix preventing libcurl-NSS from crash on doublyKamil Dudka
closed NSPR descriptor. The issue was hard to find, reported several times before and always closed unresolved. More info at the RH bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/534176
2009-11-11- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapiYang Tse
and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.
2009-11-11- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
2009-11-11- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properlyDaniel Stenberg
used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
2009-11-05- Dropped misleading timeouts in libcurl-NSS and made sure the SSL socket worksKamil Dudka
in non-blocking mode.
2009-11-05I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement inYang Tse
curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.
2009-11-04- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed theDaniel Stenberg
wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring less than 100 bytes.
2009-11-04release coming upDaniel Stenberg
2009-11-02- As reported independent by both Stan van de Burgt and Didier Brisebourg,Daniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD (the -w variable size_download) didn't work when getting data from ldap!
2009-10-31- Gabriel Kuri reported a problem with CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD if theDaniel Stenberg
download was 0 bytes, as libcurl would then return the size as unknown (-1) and not 0. I wrote a fix and test case 566 to verify it.
2009-10-30- Liza Alenchery mentioned a problem with re-used SCP connection when a badDaniel Stenberg
auth is used, as it caused a crash. I failed to repeat the issue, but still made a change that now forces the TCP connection used for a freed SCP session to get closed and not be re-used.
2009-10-30- "Tom" posted a bug report that mentioned how libcurl did wrong when doing aDaniel Stenberg
POST using a read callback, with Digest authentication and "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" enforced. I would then cause the first request to be wrongly sent and then basically hang until the server closed the connection. I fixed the problem and added test case 565 to verify it.
2009-10-25- Dima Barsky made the curl cookie parser accept cookies even with blank orDaniel Stenberg
unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.
2009-10-21- Attempt to use pkg-config for finding out libssh2 installation detailsDaniel Stenberg
during configure.
2009-10-21s/koresh/Johan van Selst/Daniel Stenberg
2009-10-21- A patch in bug report #2883177 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2883177)Daniel Stenberg
by user 'koresh' introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to read.
2009-10-18- Ray Dassen provided a patch in Debian's bug tracker (bug number #551461)Daniel Stenberg
that now makes curl_getdate(3) actually handles RFC 822 formatted dates that use the "single letter military timezones". http://www.rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/822/chapter5.html has the details.
2009-10-18- Fixed memory leak in the SCP/SFTP code as it never freed the knownhostsDaniel Stenberg
data!
2009-10-18John Dennis filed bug report #2873666Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2873666) which identified a problem which made libcurl loop infinitely when given incorrect credentials when using HTTP GSS negotiate authentication.
2009-10-18- Kevin Baughman found a double close() problem with libcurl-NSS, as whenDaniel Stenberg
libcurl called NSS to close the SSL "session" it also closed the actual socket.
2009-10-17Fix invalid file name characters handling on WindowsYang Tse
2009-10-01- Tom Mueller correctly reported in bug report #2870221Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out exactly why.
2009-10-01- Constantine Sapuntzakis: The current implementation will always setDaniel Stenberg
SO_SNDBUF to CURL_WRITE_SIZE even if the SO_SNDBUF starts out larger. The patch doesn't do a setsockopt if SO_SNDBUF is already greater than CURL_WRITE_SIZE. This should help folks who have set up their computer with large send buffers.
2009-09-27- I introduced a maximum limit for received HTTP headers. It is controlled byDaniel Stenberg
the define CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER which is even exposed in the public header file to allow for users to fairly easy rebuild libcurl with a modified limit. The rationale for a fixed limit is that libcurl is realloc()ing a buffer to be able to put a full header into it, so that it can call the header callback with the entire header, but that also risk getting it into trouble if a server by mistake or willingly sends a header that is more or less without an end. The limit is set to 100K.
2009-09-26- John P. McCaskey posted a bug report that showed how libcurl did wrong whenDaniel Stenberg
saving received cookies with no given path, if the path in the request had a query part. That is means a question mark (?) and characters on the right side of that. I wrote test case 1105 and fixed this problem.
2009-09-26- Implemented a protocol independent way to specify blocking direction, used byKamil Dudka
transfer.c for blocking. It is currently used only by SCP and SFTP protocols. This enhancement resolves an issue with 100% CPU usage during SFTP upload, reported by Vourhey.
2009-09-25- Chris Mumford filed bug report #2861587Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2861587) identifying that libcurl used the OpenSSL function X509_load_crl_file() wrongly and failed if it would load a CRL file with more than one certificate within. This is now fixed.
2009-09-24revert HPUX change since it already works fineDaniel Stenberg
2009-09-23- HPUX does need _REENTRANT too to build really thread-safe.Daniel Stenberg
2009-09-16- Sven Anders reported that we introduced a cert verfication flaw for OpenSSL-Daniel Stenberg
powered libcurl in 7.19.6. If there was a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name field in the certficate it had to match and so even if non-DNS and non-IP entry was present it caused the verification to fail.
2009-09-16Moved the libssh2 checks after the SSL library checks. This helps whenDan Fandrich
statically linking since libssh2 needs the SSL library link flags to be set up already to satisfy its dependencies. This wouldn't be necessary if the libssh2 configure check was changed to use pkg-config since the --static flag would add the dependencies automatically.
2009-09-15mention last changesYang Tse
2009-09-11 Joshua Kwan provided a patch to pass POLLERR / POLLHUP back to c-ares.Gunter Knauf
This fixes a loop problem with high CPU usage.
2009-09-10- Claes Jakobsson fixed a problem with cookie expiry dates at exctly the epochDaniel Stenberg
start second "Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT 1970" as the date parser then returns 0 which internally then is treated as a session cookie. That particular date is now made to get the value of 1.

2009-09-02- Daniel Johnson founded a flaw in the code convering sftp-errors to libcurlDaniel Stenberg
errors.
2009-09-01- Peter Sylvester made a debug featuer for Curl_resolv() that now will forceDaniel Stenberg
libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.
2009-09-01- configure now tries to use pkg-config for a number of sub-dependencies evenDaniel Stenberg
when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure. I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.
2009-08-31- When using the multi interface with FTP and you asked for NOBODY, you did noDaniel Stenberg
QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead hang.
