2007-04-28Peter O'Gorman fixed libcurl to not init GnuTLS as early as we did before,Daniel Stenberg
since it then inits libgcrypt and libgcrypt is being evil and EXITS the application if it fails to get a fine random seed. That's really not a nice thing to do by a library.
2007-04-28Frank Hempel fixed a curl_easy_duphandle() crash on a handle that hadDaniel Stenberg
been removed from a multi handle, and then fixed another flaw that prevented curl_easy_duphandle() to work even after the first fix - the handle was still marked as using the multi interface.
2007-04-26Peter O'Gorman found a problem with SCP downloads when the downloaded fileDaniel Stenberg
was 16385 bytes (16K+1) and it turned out we didn't properly always "suck out" all data from libssh2. The effect being that libcurl would hang on the socket waiting for data when libssh2 had in fact already read it all...
2007-04-25Sonia Subramanian brought our attention to a problem that happens if you setDaniel Stenberg
the CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM or CURLOPT_RANGE options and an existing connection in the connection cache is closed to make room for the new one when you call curl_easy_perform(). It would then wrongly free range-related data in the connection close funtion.
2007-04-25Steve Little's fixes to allow compilation on VMS 64-bit modeYang Tse
2007-04-24Robert Iakobashvili made the 'master_buffer' get allocated first once it isDaniel Stenberg
can/will be used as it then makes the common cases save 16KB of data for each easy handle that isn't used for pipelining.

2007-04-21Daniel Black filed bug #1704675 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1704675)Daniel Stenberg
identifying a double-free problem in the SSL-dealing layer, telling GnuTLS to free NULL credentials on closedown after a failure and a bad #ifdef for NSS when closing down SSL.
2007-04-20- Save one call to curlx_tvnow(), which calls gettimeofday(), in each ofYang Tse
Curl_socket_ready(), Curl_poll() and Curl_select() when these are called with a zero timeout or a timeout value indicating a blocking call should be performed. These unnecessary calls to gettimeofday() got introduced in 7.16.2 when fixing 'timeout would restart when signal caught while awaiting socket events' on 20 March 2007. - Move some loop breaking logic from the while clause into the loop, avoiding compiler warning 'assignment within conditional expression'
2007-04-18- James Housley made SFTP uploads use libssh2's non-blocking API (if available)Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-18- Prevent the internal progress meter from updating more frequently than onceDaniel Stenberg
per second.
2007-04-16- Robert Iakobashvil added curl_multi_socket_action() to libcurl, which is aDaniel Stenberg
function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to curl_multi_socket*().
2007-04-16Jay Austin added "DH PARAMETERS" to the stunnel.pem certificateDaniel Stenberg
2007-04-14updatesDaniel Stenberg
2007-04-13Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existanceYang Tse
of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using for a host which was supposed not to exist.
2007-04-12update!Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-11restart towards 7.16.3Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-08builds on QNX 6 againDaniel Stenberg
2007-04-03Rob Jones fixed better #ifdef'ing for a bunch of #include lines.Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-02Nick Zitzmann made CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE work for SFTP as well.Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-01Matt Kraai provided a patch that makes curl build on QNX 6 fine again. MostlyDaniel Stenberg
by letting configure check for setmode and ifdef on HAVE_SETMODE. NOTE: non- configure platforms that havve setmode() needs their hard-coded config.h files fixed. I fixed the src/config-win32.h.
2007-03-3126 flaws identified by coverity.comDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-31"Pixel" fixed a problem that appeared when you used -f with user+passwordDaniel Stenberg
embedded in the URL.
2007-03-27New Internal wrapper function Curl_select() around select (2), itYang Tse
uses poll() when a fine poll() is available, so now libcurl can be built without select() support at all if a fine poll() is available.
2007-03-25added Daniel JohnsonDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-23Added --pubkey option to curl and made --key also work for SCP/SFTP,Dan Fandrich
plus made --pass work on an SSH private key as well.
2007-03-20Fixed: When a signal was caught awaiting for an event using Curl_select()Yang Tse
or Curl_poll() with a non-zero timeout both functions would restart the specified timeout. This could even lead to the extreme case that if a signal arrived with a frecuency lower to the specified timeout neither function would ever exit. Added experimental symbol definition check CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR in Curl_select() and Curl_poll(). When compiled with CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR defined both functions will return as soon as a signal is caught. Use it at your own risk, all calls to these functions in the library should be revisited and checked before fully supporting this feature.
2007-03-19Bryan Henderson fixed the progress function so that it can get calledYang Tse
more frequently allowing same calling frecuency for the client progress callback, while keeping the once a second frecuency for speed calculations and internal display of the transfer progress.
2007-03-13--ftp-ssl-control is now honoured on ftps:// URLsDan Fandrich
2007-03-11reverted the pselect patch => http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-03/0100.htmlDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-10Eygene Ryabinkin fixed a use-after-free issue with HTTP transfers with theDaniel Stenberg
multi interface
2007-03-10Bryan HendersonDaniel Stenberg
2007-03-10- Bryan Henderson introduces two things:Daniel Stenberg
1) the progress callback gets called more frequently (at times) 2) libcurl *might* call the callback when it receives a signal

2007-03-09- Robert Iakobashvili fixed CURLOPT_INTERFACE for IPv6.Daniel Stenberg
2007-03-09- Justin Fletcher fixed a file descriptor leak in the curl tool when trying toDaniel Stenberg
upload a file it couldn't open. Bug #1676581 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1676581)
2007-03-02- Robert A. Monat and Shmulik Regev helped out to fix the new */Makefile.vc8Daniel Stenberg
makefiles that are included in the source release archives, generated from the Makefile.vc6 files by the maketgz script. I also modified the root Makefile to have a VC variable that defaults to vc6 but can be overridden to allow it to be used for vc8 as well. Like this: nmake VC=vc8 vc
2007-02-27- Hang Kin Lau found and fixed: When I use libcurl to connect to an httpsDaniel Stenberg
server through a proxy and have the remote https server port set using the CURLOPT_PORT option, protocol gets reset to http from https after the first request. User defined URL was modified internally by libcurl and subsequent reuse of the easy handle may lead to connection using a different protocol (if not originally http). I found that libcurl hardcoded the protocol to "http" when it tries to regenerate the URL if CURLOPT_PORT is set. I tried to fix the problem as follows and it's working fine so far
2007-02-27HTTP Digest header parsing fixDaniel Stenberg
2007-02-25Two new mirrors, but the total amount of mirrors still don't go up very muchDaniel Stenberg
due to the frequent dying of mirrors...
2007-02-25- Adam D. Moss made the HTTP CONNECT procedure less blocking when used fromDaniel Stenberg
the multi interface. Note that it still does a part of the connection in a blocking manner.
2007-02-21- Ravi Pratap provided work on libcurl making pipelining more robust andDaniel Stenberg
fixing some bugs: o Don't mix GET and POST requests in a pipeline o Fix the order in which requests are dispatched from the pipeline o Fixed several curl bugs with pipelining when the server is returning chunked encoding: * Added states to chunked parsing for final CRLF * Rewind buffer after parsing chunk with data remaining * Moved chunked header initializing to a spot just before receiving headers

2007-02-19Ian Turner fixed the libcurl.m4 macro's support for --with-libcurl.Daniel Stenberg
AC_PATH_PROG was not used properly.
2007-02-19- Shmulik Regev found a memory leak in re-used HTTPS connections, at leastDaniel Stenberg
when the multi interface was used.
2007-02-19- Robson Braga Araujo made passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS (both 4 andDaniel Stenberg
5).
2007-02-18- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem withDaniel Stenberg
the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle. The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk: the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was marked for closure.
2007-02-16- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Michal Marek reported problems with resettingDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP.
2007-02-13ftp@example.com is now the new anonymous FTP password. I opted for 'ftp' onDaniel Stenberg
the left side of @ to make it short(er).
