2006-07-04Toshiyuki Maezawa fixed a problem where you couldn't override theDaniel Stenberg
Proxy-Connection: header when using a proxy and not doing CONNECT.
2006-06-28changed wording on the curl_multi_fdset() problem and moved the -K change fromDaniel Stenberg
bugfixes
2006-06-24Michael Wallner added curl_formget(), which allows an application to extractDaniel Stenberg
(serialise) a previously built formpost (as with curl_formadd()).
2006-06-23Arve Knudsen found a flaw in curl_multi_fdset() for systems whereDaniel Stenberg
curl_socket_t is unsigned (like Windows) that could cause it to wrongly return a max fd of -1.
2006-06-22Peter Silva introduced CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE andDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's option --limit-rate to the library. The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d and -F, which it didn't before.
2006-06-19make -K on a bad file now displays a warningDaniel Stenberg
2006-06-12starting the journey towards the next releaseDaniel Stenberg
2006-06-127.15.4 coming upDaniel Stenberg
2006-06-08Brian Dessent's fixes for cygwin buildsDaniel Stenberg
2006-06-07NTLM2 session response supportDaniel Stenberg
2006-05-31two new mirrors and a recount of themDaniel Stenberg
2006-05-25Olaf Stüben fixed a bug that caused Digest authentication with md5-sess toDaniel Stenberg
fail. When using the md5-sess, the result was not Md5 encoded and Base64 transformed.
2006-05-24Michael Wallner provided a patch that allows "SESS" to be set withDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, which then makes all session cookies get cleared. (slightly edited by me, and the re-indent in cookie.c was also done by me)
2006-05-10David McCreedy provided a fix for CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET that does extendedDaniel Stenberg
checks on the to-be-returned socket to make sure it truly seems to be alive and well. For SSL connection it (only) uses OpenSSL functions.
2006-05-101 - allow DICT with properly URL-escaped words, like using %20 for spacesDaniel Stenberg
2 - properly escape certain letters within a DICT word to comply to the RFC2229
2006-05-09Andreas Ntaflos reported a bug in libcurl.m4: When configuring my GNUDaniel Stenberg
autotools project, which optionally (default=yes) uses libcurl on a system without a (usable) libcurl installation, but not specifying `--without-libcurl', configure determines correctly that no libcurl is available, however, the LIBCURL variable gets expanded to `LIBCURL = -lcurl' in the resulting Makefiles. David Shaw fixed the flaw.
2006-05-09mention the other TFTP cleanup sweep from ydayDaniel Stenberg
2006-05-09Robson Braga Araujo fixed a memory leak when you added an easy handle to aDaniel Stenberg
multi stack and that easy handle had already been used to do one or more easy interface transfers, as then the code threw away the previously used DNS cache without properly freeing it.
2006-05-08Fixed known bug #28. The TFTP code no longer assumes a packed struct andDaniel Stenberg
thus works reliably on more platforms.
2006-05-04Roland Blom filed bug report #1481217Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele Bini and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on windows to get error details after socket-related function calls, when it really should use WSAGetLastError() instead. When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
2006-05-04Mark Eichin submitted bug report #1480821Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1480821) He found and identified a problem with how libcurl dealt with GnuTLS and a case where gnutls returned GNUTLS_E_AGAIN indicating it would block. It would then return an unexpected return code, making Curl_ssl_send() confuse the upper layer - causing random 28 bytes trash data to get inserted in the transfered stream. The proper fix was to make the Curl_gtls_send() function return the proper return codes that the callers would expect. The Curl_ossl_send() function already did this.
2006-05-02curl-config got a --checkfor optionDaniel Stenberg
2006-04-26David McCreedy brought line end conversions when doing FTP ASCIIDaniel Stenberg
transfers. They are done on non-windows systems and translate CRLF to LF.
2006-04-25Paul Querna fixed libcurl to better deal with deflate content encoding whenDaniel Stenberg
the stream (wrongly) lacks a proper zlib header. This seems to be the case on too many actual server implementations.
2006-04-21Ale Vesely fixed CURLOPT_INTERFACE when using a hostnameDaniel Stenberg
2006-04-18Robson Braga Araujo provided a patch that makes libcurl less eager to closeDaniel Stenberg
the control connection when using FTP, for example when you remove an easy handle from a multi stack.
2006-04-18mention Katie Wang as author of the patchDaniel Stenberg
2006-04-11#1468330 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1468330) pointed out a badDaniel Stenberg
typecast in the curl tool leading to a crash with (64bit?) VS2005 (at least) since the struct timeval field tv_sec is an int while time_t is 64bit.
2006-04-10mention recent additionsDaniel Stenberg
2006-04-05Michele Bini modified the NTLM code to work for his "weird IIS case"Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-02/0154.html) by adding the NTLM hash function in addition to the LM one and making some other adjustments in the order the different parts of the data block are sent in the Type-2 reply. Inspiration for this work was taken from the Firefox NTLM implementation. I edited the existing 21(!) NTLM test cases to run fine with these news. Due to the fact that we now properly include the host name in the Type-2 message the test cases now only compare parts of that chunk.
2006-03-28#1451929 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1451929) detailed a bug thatDaniel Stenberg
occurred when asking libcurl to follow HTTP redirects and the original URL had more than one question mark (?). Added test case 276 to verify.
2006-03-27David Byron found a problem multiple -d options when libcurl was built withDaniel Stenberg
--enable-debug, as then curl used free() on memory allocated both with normal malloc() and with libcurl-provided functions, when the latter MUST be freed with curl_free() in debug builds.
2006-03-26Tor Arntsen figured out that TFTP was broken on a lot of systems since weDaniel Stenberg
called bind() with a too big argument in the 3rd parameter and at least Tru64, AIX and IRIX seem to be very picky about it.
2006-03-21David McCreedy added CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH to export the FTP entry pathDaniel Stenberg
2006-03-21Xavier Bouchoux made the SSL connection non-blocking for the multi interfaceDaniel Stenberg
(when using OpenSSL).
2006-03-21Tor Arntsen fixed the AIX Toolbox RPM specDaniel Stenberg
2006-03-20David McCreedy fixed libcurl to no longer ignore AUTH failures and now itDaniel Stenberg
reacts properly according to the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL setting.
2006-03-20mention today's fixesDaniel Stenberg
2006-03-20start working towards 7.15.4Daniel Stenberg
2006-03-20fixed tftp packet overflow riskDaniel Stenberg
2006-03-07Markus Koetter filed debian bug report #355715 which identified a problemDaniel Stenberg
with the multi interface and multi-part formposts. The fix from February 22nd could make the Curl_done() function get called twice on the same connection and it was not designed for that and thus tried to call free() on an already freed memory area!
2006-03-07Peter Heuchert made sure the CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL setting for CURLOPT_FTP_SSLDaniel Stenberg
is used properly.
2006-03-06Lots of users on Windows have reported getting the "SSL: couldn't setDaniel Stenberg
callback" error message so I've now made the setting of that callback not be as critical as before. The function is only used for additional loggging/ trace anyway so a failure just means slightly less data. It should still be able to proceed and connect fine to the server.
2006-03-04build fix for InterixDaniel Stenberg
2006-03-03Prevent uploading to a URL that has no file name part.Daniel Stenberg
2006-03-02mention Dan F's out-of-file handles fix from the other dayDaniel Stenberg
2006-03-02check for and use getprotobynameDaniel Stenberg
2006-02-27start over on what might become 7.15.3Daniel Stenberg
2006-02-23Lots of work and analysis by "xbx___" in bug #1431750Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1431750) helped me identify and fix two different but related bugs: 1) Removing an easy handle from a multi handle before the transfer is done could leave a connection in the connection cache for that handle that is in a state that isn't suitable for re-use. A subsequent re-use could then read from a NULL pointer and segfault. 2) When an easy handle was removed from the multi handle, there could be an outstanding c-ares DNS name resolve request. When the response arrived, it caused havoc since the connection struct it "belonged" to could've been freed already. Now Curl_done() is called when an easy handle is removed from a multi handle pre-maturely (that is, before the transfer was complteted). Curl_done() also makes sure to cancel all (if any) outstanding c-ares requests.
2006-02-21Peter Su added support for SOCKS4 proxies. Enable this by setting the proxyDaniel Stenberg
type to the already provided type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4. I added a --socks4 option that works like the current --socks5 option but instead use the socks4 protocol.
