2010-02-02mention a couple of changes back from NovemberYang Tse
2010-02-02- Symbol CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T now obsoleted, will be removed in a future release,Yang Tse
symbol will not be available when building with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined. Use of CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T is preferred since 7.19.0
2010-02-01We introduce a loop in lib/multi.c around all calls to multi_runsingle() andDaniel Stenberg
simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
2010-01-27mention asynchronous DNS lookups enhancementsYang Tse
2010-01-26- Mike Crowe made libcurl return CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY when it is theDaniel Stenberg
proxy that cannot be resolved when using c-ares. This matches the behaviour when not using c-ares.
2010-01-23Mention -J changeBjorn Stenberg
2010-01-21Chris Conroy brought support for RTSP transfers, and with it comes 8(!) newDaniel Stenberg
libcurl options for controlling what to get and how to receive posssibly interleaved RTP data. Initial commit.
2010-01-19- As was pointed out on the http-state mailing list, the order of cookies in aDaniel Stenberg
HTTP Cookie: header _needs_ to be sorted on the path length in the cases where two cookies using the same name are set more than once using (overlapping) paths. Realizing this, identically named cookies must be sorted correctly. But detecting only identically named cookies and take care of them individually is harder than just to blindly and unconditionally sort all cookies based on their path lengths. All major browsers also already do this, so this makes our behavior one step closer to them in the cookie area. Test case 8 was the only one that broke due to this change and I updated it accordingly.
2010-01-19- David McCreedy brought a fix and a new test case (129) to make libcurl workDaniel Stenberg
again when downloading files over FTP using ASCII and it turns out that the final size of the file is not the same as the initial size the server reported. This is very common since servers don't take the newline conversions into account.
2010-01-14- Suppressed side effect of OpenSSL configure checks, which prevented NSS fromKamil Dudka
being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
2010-01-11- Gil Weber reported a peculiar flaw with the multi interface when doing SFTPDaniel Stenberg
transfers: curl_multi_fdset() would return -1 and not set and file descriptors several times during a transfer of a single file. It turned out to be due to two different flaws now fixed. Gil's excellent recipe helped me nail this.
2010-01-11- Made sure that the progress callback is repeatedly called at a regularDaniel Stenberg
interval even during very slow connects.
2010-01-11- The tests/runtests.pl script now checks to see if the test case that runs isDaniel Stenberg
present in the tests/data/Makefile.am and outputs a notice message on the screen if not. Each test file has to be included in that Makefile.am to get included in release archives and forgetting to add files there is a common mistake. This is an attempt to make it harder to forget.
2010-01-08- Johan van Selst found and fixed a OpenSSL session ref count leak:Daniel Stenberg
ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid introducing a memory leak. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2926284)
2010-01-06- Make sure the progress callback is called repeatedly even during very slowDaniel Stenberg
name resolves when c-ares is used for resolving.
2010-01-06Julien Chaffraix fixed so that the fragment part in an URL is not sent to ↵Claes Jakobsson
the server anymore
2010-01-03- Julien Chaffraix eliminated a duplicated initialization in singlesocket().Kamil Dudka
2010-01-02- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specificDaniel Stenberg
versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones (listed and documented).
2010-01-01- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. ThisDaniel Stenberg
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
2009-12-30VMS build system enhancements by Steven M. Schweda and Craig A. BerryYang Tse
2009-12-25add pointer to the bug reportDaniel Stenberg
2009-12-25- Renato Botelho and Peter Pentchev brought a patch that makes the libcurlDaniel Stenberg
headers work correctly even on FreeBSD systems before v8.
2009-12-17- David Byron fixed Curl_ossl_cleanup to actually call ENGINE_cleanup whenDaniel Stenberg
available.
2009-12-16Follow-up fix for the proxy fix I did for Jon Nelson's bug. It turned out IDaniel Stenberg
was a bit too quick and broke test case 1101 with that change. The order of some of the setups is sensitive. I now changed it slightly again.
2009-12-14- Jon Nelson found a regression that turned out to be a flaw in how libcurlDaniel Stenberg
detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added test case 1106 that verifies this functionality. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2913886)
2009-12-12IMAP, POP3 and SMTP supportDaniel Stenberg
2009-12-10- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retryDaniel Stenberg
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the 4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_. Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a 4xx response. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)
2009-12-10argh, use the correct bug idDaniel Stenberg
2009-12-10- Constantine Sapuntzakis figured out a case which would lead to libcurlDaniel Stenberg
accessing alredy freed memory and thus crash when using HTTPS (with OpenSSL), multi interface and the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and a certain order of cleaning things up. I fixed it. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
2009-12-07- Martin Storsjo made libcurl use the Expect: 100-continue header for postsDaniel Stenberg
with unknown size. Previously it was only used for posts with a known size larger than 1024 bytes.
2009-12-01- If the Expect: 100-continue header has been set by the application throughDaniel Stenberg
curl_easy_setopt with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, the library should set data->state.expect100header accordingly - the current code (in 7.19.7 at least) doesn't handle this properly. Martin Storsjo provided the fix!
2009-11-28- Added Diffie-Hellman parameters to several test harness certificate files inYang Tse
PEM format. Required by several stunnel versions used by our test harness.
2009-11-27- Markus Koetter provided a polished and updated version of Chad Monroe's TFTPDaniel Stenberg
rework patch that now integrates TFTP properly into libcurl so that it can be used non-blocking with the multi interface and more. BLKSIZE also works. The --tftp-blksize option was added to allow setting the TFTP BLKSIZE from the command line.
2009-11-26 - Extended and fixed the change I did on Dec 11 for the the progressDaniel Stenberg
meter/callback during FTP command/response sequences. It turned out it was really lame before and now the progress meter SHOULD get called at least once per second.
2009-11-23- David Byron modified Makefile.dist vc8 and vc9 targets in order to allowYang Tse
finer granularity control when generating src and lib makefiles.
2009-11-23- Bjorn Augustsson reported a bug which made curl not report any problems evenDaniel Stenberg
though it failed to write a very small download to disk (done in a single fwrite call). It turned out to be because fwrite() returned success, but there was insufficient error-checking for the fclose() call which tricked curl to believe things were fine.
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.
