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.

2009-09-11 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.
2009-08-28- Improved error message for not matching certificate subject name inKamil Dudka
libcurl-NSS. Originally reported at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516056#c9
2009-08-24- Introduced a SYST-based test to properly set-up name format when dealing ↵Patrick Monnerat
with the OS/400 FTP server. - Fixed an ftp_readresp() bug preventing detection of failing control socket and causing FTP client to loop forever.
2009-08-24- Marc de Bruin pointed out that configure --with-gnutls=PATH didn't workDaniel Stenberg
properly and provided a fix. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2843008
2009-08-24- Eric Wong introduced support for the new option -T. (dot) that makes curlDaniel Stenberg
read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at times.
2009-08-21With CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, avoid sending invalid URLs likeMichal Marek
ftp://example.com;type=i if the user specified ftp://example.com without the slash.
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
2009-08-13- Changed NSS code to not ignore the value of ssl.verifyhost and produce moreKamil Dudka

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.
