2006-12-06Sebastien Willemijns reported bug #1603712Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) which is about connections getting cut off prematurely when --limit-rate is used. While I found no such problems in my tests nor in my reading of the code, I found that the --limit-rate code was severly flawed (since it was moved into the lib, since 7.15.5) when used with the easy interface and it didn't work as documented so I reworked it somewhat and now it works for my tests.
2006-12-05Stefan Krause pointed out a compiler warning with a picky MSCV compiler whenDaniel Stenberg
passing a curl_off_t argument to the Curl_read_rewind() function which takes an size_t argument. Curl_read_rewind() also had debug code left in it and it was put in a different source file with no good reason when only used from one single spot.
2006-12-05Sh Diao reported that CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY doesn't work, and indeed, there isDaniel Stenberg
no code present in the library that receives the option. Since it was not possible to use, we know that no current users exist and thus we simply removed it from the docs and made the code always use the default path of the code.
2006-12-05Jared Lundell filed bug report #1604956Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1604956) which identified setting CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to zero caused libcurl to SIGSEGV. Starting now, libcurl will always internally use no less than 1 entry in the connection cache.
2006-12-05CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE works again with a cleaned up order of doing things inDaniel Stenberg
Curl_done()
2006-12-05Martin Skinner brought back bug report #1230118 to haunt us once again.Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1230118) curl_getdate() did not work properly for all input dates on Windows. It was mostly seen on some TZ time zones using DST. Luckily, Martin also provided a fix.
2006-12-05Alexey Simak filed bug report #1600447Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1600447) in which he noted that active FTP connections don't work with the multi interface. The problem is here that the multi interface state machine has a state during which it can wait for the data connection to connect, but the active connection is not done in the same step in the sequence as the passive one is so it doesn't quite work for active. The active FTP code still use a blocking function to allow the remote server to connect. The fix (work-around is a better word) for this problem is to set the boolean prematurely that the data connection is completed, so that the "wait for connect" phase ends at once.
2006-12-05Matt Witherspoon fixed a problem case when the CPU load went to 100% when aDaniel Stenberg
HTTP upload was disconnected: "What appears to be happening is that my system (Linux 2.6.17 and 2.6.13) is setting *only* POLLHUP on poll() when the conditions in my previous mail occur. As you can see, select.c:Curl_select() does not check for POLLHUP. So basically what was happening, is poll() was returning immediately (with POLLHUP set), but when Curl_select() looked at the bits, neither POLLERR or POLLOUT was set. This still caused Curl_readwrite() to be called, which quickly returned. Then the transfer() loop kept continuing at full speed forever."
2006-12-05curl.dsmirror.nl is another mirrorDaniel Stenberg
2006-12-01Toon Verwaest reported that there are servers that send the Content-Range:Daniel Stenberg
header in a third, not suppported by libcurl, format and we agreed that we could make the parser more forgiving to accept all the three found variations.
2006-11-25Venkat Akella found out that libcurl did not like HTTP responses that simplyDaniel Stenberg
responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body. To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test cases got really painful and boring.

2006-11-13Ron in bug #1595348 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1595348) pointedDaniel Stenberg
out a stack overwrite (and the corresponding fix) on 64bit Windows when dealing with HTTP chunked encoding.
2006-11-09Nir Soffer updated libcurl.framework.make: fix symlinks, should link toDaniel Stenberg
Versions, not to ./Versions and indentation improvments
2006-11-09Dmitriy Sergeyev found a SIGSEGV with his test04.c example posted on 7 NovDaniel Stenberg
2006. It turned out we wrongly assumed that the connection cache was present when tearing down a connection.
2006-11-09Ciprian Badescu found a SIGSEGV when doing multiple TFTP transfers using theDaniel Stenberg
multi interface, but I could also repeat it doing multiple sequential ones with the easy interface. Using Ciprian's test case, I could fix it.
2006-11-08Bradford Bruce reported that when setting CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION withoutDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_VERBOSE set to non-zero, you still got a few debug messages from the SSL handshake. This is now stopped.
2006-11-07add missing namesDaniel Stenberg
2006-11-03Olaf Stueben provided a patch that I edited slightly. It fixes the notoriousDaniel Stenberg
KNOWN_BUGS #25, which happens when a proxy closes the connection when libcurl has sent CONNECT, as part of an authentication negotiation. Starting now, libcurl will re-connect accordingly and continue the authentication as it should.
2006-11-02update the counterDaniel Stenberg
2006-11-02James Housley brought support for SCP transfersDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-30start working on 7.16.1Daniel Stenberg
2006-10-297.16.0 materialDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-25Fixed CURLOPT_FAILONERROR to return CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR even for theDaniel Stenberg
case when 401 or 407 are returned, *IF* no auth credentials have been given. The CURLOPT_FAILONERROR option is not possible to make fool-proof for 401 and 407 cases when auth credentials is given, but we've now covered this somewhat more. You might get some amounts of headers transferred before this situation is detected, like for when a "100-continue" is received as a response to a POST/PUT and a 401 or 407 is received immediately afterwards. Added test 281 to verify this change.
2006-10-21Nir Soffer for his Makefile.am fixDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-21Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems withDaniel Stenberg
reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.
2006-10-18changes done the last few daysDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-17Please welcome our new haxx.se curl mirror, for really fast Swedish access.Daniel Stenberg
2006-10-13The tagging of application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST body data sentDan Fandrich
to the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback has been fixed (it was erroneously included as part of the header). A message was also added to the command line tool to show when data is being sent, enabled when --verbose is used.
2006-10-12Starting now, adding an easy handle to a multi stack that was already addedDaniel Stenberg
to a multi stack will cause CURLM_BAD_EASY_HANDLE to get returned.
2006-10-12Jeff Pohlmeyer has been working with the hiperfifo.c example source code,Daniel Stenberg
and while doing so it became apparent that the current timeout system for the socket API really was a bit awkward since it become quite some work to be sure we have the correct timeout set. Jeff then provided the new CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION that is yet another callback the app can set to get to know when the general timeout time changes and thus for an application like hiperfifo.c it makes everything a lot easier and nicer. There's a CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA option too of course in good old libcurl tradition.
2006-10-09new mirrorsDaniel Stenberg
2006-10-06Bogdan Nicula's hanging test case was converted to test case 533 and the testDaniel Stenberg
now runs fine.
2006-09-30Support for FTP third party transfers is now droppedDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-28Reported in #1561470 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1561470), libcurlDaniel Stenberg
would crash if a bad function sequence was used when shutting down after using the multi interface (i.e using easy_cleanup after multi_cleanup) so precautions have been added to make sure it doesn't any more - test case 529 was added to verify.
2006-09-24Cory Nelson made libcurl use the WSAPoll() function if built for WindowsDaniel Stenberg
Vista (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600)
2006-09-23updated numbersDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-23Mike Protts added --ftp-ssl-control to make curl use FTP-SSL, but onlyDaniel Stenberg
encrypt the control connection and use the data connection "plain".
2006-09-23Dmitriy Sergeyev provided a patch that made the SOCKS[45] code work better asDaniel Stenberg
it now will read the full data sent from servers. The SOCKS-related code was also moved to the new lib/socks.c source file.
2006-09-21(FTP) a failed upload does not invalidate the control connectionDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-20Armel Asselin fixed problems when you gave a proxy URL with user name andDaniel Stenberg
empty password or no password at all. Test case 278 and 279 were added to verify.
2006-09-12stuff we doDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-11- Fixed my breakage from earlier today so that doing curl_easy_cleanup() on aDaniel Stenberg
handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the stack. - Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out there that misbehave with session-IDs used.
2006-09-10curl_multi_socket() fix thanks to Jeff's test codeDaniel Stenberg
2006-09-09Michele Bini fixed how the hostname is put in NTLM packages. As serversDaniel Stenberg
don't expect fully qualified names we need to cut them off at the first dot.
2006-09-08Peter Sylvester cleaned up and fixed the getsockname() uses in ftp.c. SomeDaniel Stenberg
of them can be completetly removed though...
2006-09-07Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and shared connectionDaniel Stenberg
