2009-08-21- Andre Guibert de Bruet pointed out a missing return code check for aDaniel Stenberg
strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his suggest patch to now have Curl_retry_request() return a regular return code and better check that.
2009-08-21- Lots of good work by Krister Johansen, mostly related to pipelining:Daniel Stenberg
Fix SIGSEGV on free'd easy_conn when pipe unexpectedly breaks Fix data corruption issue with re-connected transfers Fix use after free if we're completed but easy_conn not NULL

2009-08-12- Carsten Lange reported a bug and provided a patch for TFTP upload and theDaniel Stenberg
sending of the TSIZE option. I don't like fixing bugs just hours before a release, but since it was broken and the patch fixes this for him I decided to get it in anyway.
2009-08-11- Peter Sylvester made the HTTPS test server use specific certificates forDaniel Stenberg
each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL- specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified in test 311.
2009-08-11- Benbuck Nason posted the bug report #2835196Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2835196), fixing a few compiler warnings when mixing ints and bools.
2009-08-11Fixed a memory leak in the FTP code and an off-by-one heap buffer overflow.Dan Fandrich
2009-08-09Fixed some memory leaks in the command-line tool that caused most of theDan Fandrich
torture tests to fail.
2009-08-01clarify the description of the null byte in cert name fixDaniel Stenberg
2009-08-01- Curt Bogmine reported a problem with SNI enabled on a particular server. WeDaniel Stenberg
should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected. Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?
2009-08-01- Scott Cantor posted the bug report #2829955Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation he did at Black Hat is available here: https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would happily verify that cert for example.com. libcurl now better use the length of the extracted name, not assuming it is zero terminated.
2009-08-01- Tanguy Fautre pointed out that OpenSSL's function RAND_screen() (presentDaniel Stenberg
only in some OpenSSL installs - like on Windows) isn't thread-safe and we agreed that moving it to the global_init() function is a decent way to deal with this situation.
2009-08-01- Alexander Beedie provided the patch for a noproxy problem: If I have setDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.
2009-07-27- All the quote options (CURLOPT_QUOTE, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE andDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.
2009-07-26- Bug report #2825989 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2825989) pointedDaniel Stenberg
out that OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm, and provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() instead of the older SSLeay_* alternative. OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms was added in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2009-07-22- Added CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA.Daniel Stenberg
They introduce known_host support for SSH keys to libcurl. See docs for details.
2009-07-22- David Binderman found a memory and fd leak in lib/gtls.c:load_file()Michal Marek
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/523919). When looking at the code, I found that also the ptr pointer can leak.
2009-07-20- Claes Jakobsson improved the support for client certificates handlingKamil Dudka
in NSS-powered libcurl. Now the client certificates can be selected automatically by a NSS built-in hook. Additionally pre-login to all PKCS11 slots is no more performed. It used to cause problems with HW tokens. - Fixed reference counting for NSS client certificates. Now the PEM reader module should be always properly unloaded on Curl_nss_cleanup(). If the unload fails though, libcurl will try to reuse the already loaded instance.
2009-07-15Added nonblock.c to the non-automake makefiles (note that the dependenciesDan Fandrich
in the Watcom makefiles aren't quite correct).
2009-07-15- Changed the description of CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to make it clear that theMichal Marek
errno is not reset on success.
2009-07-14renamed generated config.h to curl_config.h in order to avoid clashes when ↵Gunter Knauf
libcurl is used with other projects which also have a config.h.
2009-07-09- Eric Wong introduced curlx_nonblock() that the curl tool now (re-)uses forDaniel Stenberg
setting a file descriptor non-blocking. Used by the functionality Eric himself brough on June 15th.
2009-07-08- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug report #2813123Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2813123) and an a patch that fixes the problem: Url A is accessed using auth. Url A redirects to Url B (on a different server0. Url B reuses a persistent connection. Url B has auth, even though it's on a different server. Note: if Url B does not reuse a persistent connection, auth is not sent.
2009-07-04Markus Koetter provided a patch to avoid getnameinfo() usage which broke a ↵Gunter Knauf
couple of both IPv4 and IPv6 autobuilds.
2009-06-29- Markus Koetter made CURLOPT_FTPPORT (and curl's -P/--ftpport) support a portDaniel Stenberg
range if given colon-separated after the host name/address part. Like "192.168.0.1:2000-10000"
2009-06-17Added a few more compiler warning options for gcc.Dan Fandrich
2009-06-16- Reuven Wachtfogel made curl -o - properly produce a binary output on windowsDaniel Stenberg
(no newline translations). Use -B/--use-ascii if you rather get the ascii approach.
2009-06-16- When doing non-anonymous ftp via http proxies and the password is notMichal Marek
provided in the url, add it there (squid needs this).
2009-06-15- Eric Wong's patch:Daniel Stenberg
This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a request is still being read, of course. If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender. This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin (and thus sending) is paused.
2009-06-15Replaced use of standard C library rand()/srand() by our own pseudo-random ↵Patrick Monnerat
number generator.

2009-06-08- Claes Jakobsson provided a patch for libcurl-NSS that fixed a bad refcountDaniel Stenberg
issue with client certs that caused issues like segfaults. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0316.html
2009-06-08- Triggered by bug report #2798852 and the patch in there, I fixed configureDaniel Stenberg
to detect gnutls build options with pkg-config only and not libgnutls-config anymore since GnuTLS has stopped distributing that tool. If an explicit path is given to configure, we will instead guess on how to link and use that lib. I did not use the patch from the bug report.

2009-06-05- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUTDaniel Stenberg
is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008 http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.

is also needed before curl can be built in Android, but it's not clear what the best way is to provide one.
