2009-05-08- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic. There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
2009-05-07- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads asDaniel Stenberg
well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
2009-05-07Fix an issue, affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c patch ↵Yang Tse
committed May 4. Additionally some identation fixes.
2009-05-07- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. ProblemsDaniel Stenberg
reported in the Debian package.
2009-05-07- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.

2009-05-04- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did theDaniel Stenberg
corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id in case the re-used one is rejected.
2009-05-04- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib code needs similar fixes.
2009-05-04David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP server ↵Yang Tse
and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when running the FTP test server.
2009-05-04David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and non-ASCII ↵Yang Tse
platform HTTP requests" patch
2009-05-03Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59. The bugDan Fandrich
report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
2009-05-02Use build-time configured curl_socklen_t instead of socklen_tYang Tse
2009-05-01Mention David McCreedy's patches applied todayYang Tse
2009-04-30- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGSDaniel Stenberg
If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like "ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off. I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
2009-04-29- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)Daniel Stenberg
I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl. TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify that this change fixes the reported problem.
2009-04-28- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
2009-04-28- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by TimDaniel Stenberg
Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a pipe. This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read from a stream!
2009-04-26- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by SvenDaniel Stenberg
Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
2009-04-24- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.Daniel Stenberg
2009-04-23- bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by RainerDaniel Stenberg
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the lower case takes precedence,
2009-04-23Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.Dan Fandrich
2009-04-21libcurl's memory.h renamed to curl_memory.hYang Tse
2009-04-21Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files toYang Tse
setup_once.h. Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
2009-04-20- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why andDaniel Stenberg
how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
2009-04-20- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times forDaniel Stenberg
OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str - within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this mistake happening.
2009-04-17- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTPDaniel Stenberg
proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth for the proxy causing an inifinite loop! I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
2009-04-13- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by MartinDaniel Stenberg
Storsjo pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed looked like: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0); The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is 0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully not hit any existing users badly.
2009-04-13- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turnedDaniel Stenberg
out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue is found in Redhat's bug tracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612 There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.
2009-04-11Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.Dan Fandrich
Improved Symbian support for SSL.
2009-04-10Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform allYang Tse
the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
2009-04-08Sun compilers specific preprocessor block removed from curlbuild.h.distYang Tse
2009-04-06- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on successDaniel Stenberg
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes whenever we can think of them...
2009-04-02Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and aYang Tse
non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than 64 and using the ILP32 data model.
2009-04-01- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if aDaniel Stenberg
strdup() call failed.
2009-03-31Properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv (reported by Jim Freeman).Dan Fandrich
2009-03-18- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms whenDaniel Stenberg
NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled explicitly.
2009-03-13- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2Daniel Stenberg
library is found to support it.
2009-03-12Fix TELNET transfers not being aborted upon write callback failuresYang Tse
2009-03-11- Kamil Dudka made the curl tool properly call curl_global_init() before anyDaniel Stenberg
other libcurl function.
2009-03-11Added TELNET timeout support for Windows buildsYang Tse
2009-03-10Moved 7.19.2 and older entries from CHANGES to CHANGES.0 (the latter is notDaniel Stenberg
shipped in release archives but is only in CVS)
2009-03-09- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix:Daniel Stenberg
curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the cookie engine switched on. We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
2009-03-09- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4Daniel Stenberg
scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and fix.
2009-03-08- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where theDaniel Stenberg
allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked.
2009-03-08- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few placesDaniel Stenberg
in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors, when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and other values indicate error conditions.
2009-03-08- Bill Egert pointed out (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) thatDaniel Stenberg
curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.
2009-03-05Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to coverDan Fandrich
more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using applications.
2009-03-05Fix NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows buildsYang Tse
