2006-01-24Michal Marek provided a patch for FTP that makes libcurl continue to try PASVDaniel Stenberg
even after EPSV returned a positive response code, if libcurl failed to connect to the port number the EPSV response said. Obviously some people are going through protocol-sensitive firewalls (or similar) that don't understand EPSV and then they don't allow the second connection unless PASV was used. This also called for a minor fix of test case 238.
2006-01-20the second -P fixDaniel Stenberg
2006-01-19Jon Turner pointed out that doing -P [hostname] with curl (built ipv4-only)Daniel Stenberg
didn't work.
2006-01-18reality syncDaniel Stenberg
2006-01-18configure no longer warns on "missing" if the current path contains a spaceDaniel Stenberg
2006-01-16David Shaw finally removed all traces of Gopher and we are now officiallyDaniel Stenberg
not supporting it. It hasn't been functioning for years anyway, so this is just finally stating what already was true. And a cleanup at the same time.
2006-01-15Bryan Henderson turned the 'initialized' variable for curl_global_init()Daniel Stenberg
into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup(). Bryan also updated the docs accordingly.
2006-01-13Andrew Benham fixed a race condition in the test suite that could cause theDaniel Stenberg
test script to kill all processes in the current process group!
2006-01-12Fixed FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP and FTP_USE_EPSV to "do right" when used on FTP thruDaniel Stenberg
HTTP proxy.
2006-01-10When using a bad path over FTP, as in when libcurl couldn't CWD into allDaniel Stenberg
given subdirs, libcurl would still "remember" the full path as if it is the current directory libcurl is in so that the next curl_easy_perform() would get really confused if it tried the same path again - as it would not issue any CWD commands at all, assuming it is already in the "proper" dir. Starting now, a failed CWD command sets a flag that prevents the path to be "remembered" after returning.
2006-01-08one more mirror, now fortunately in JapanDaniel Stenberg
2006-01-07Mike Jean fixed so that the second CONNECT when doing FTP over a HTTP proxyDaniel Stenberg
actually used a new connection and not sent the second request on the first socket!
2006-01-06buildconf fixesDaniel Stenberg
2006-01-04not much recent stuff, but still I had this modified locallyDaniel Stenberg
2005-12-16Jean Jacques Drouin pointed out that you could only have a user name orDaniel Stenberg
password of 127 bytes or less embedded in a URL, where actually the code uses a 255 byte buffer for it! Modified now to use the full buffer size.
2005-12-06start working on 7.15.2Daniel Stenberg
2005-12-067.15.1 with the now to be announced security flaw fixedDaniel Stenberg
2005-12-01Jamie Newton pointed out that libcurl's file:// code would close() a zeroDaniel Stenberg
file descriptor if given a non-existing file.
2005-11-28Bryan HendersonDaniel Stenberg
2005-11-24Doug Kaufman's set of patches to make curl build fine on DJGPP again usingDaniel Stenberg
configure.
2005-11-17I extended a patch from David Shaw to make libcurl _always_ provide an errorDaniel Stenberg
string in the given error buffer to address the flaw mention on 21 sep 2005.
2005-11-16Applied Albert Chin's patch that makes the libcurl.pc pkgconfig file getDaniel Stenberg
installed on 'make install' time.
2005-11-13Debian bug report 338681 by Jan Kunder: make curl better detect and report badDaniel Stenberg
limit-rate units: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338681 Now curl will return error if a bad unit is used.
2005-11-13Thanks to this nice summary of poll() implementations:Daniel Stenberg
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2001/06/poll.html and further tests by Eugene Kotlyarov, we now know that cygwin's poll returns only POLLHUP on remote connection closure so we check for that case (too) and re-enable poll for cygwin builds.
2005-11-12Eugene Kotlyarov found out that cygwin's poll() function isn't doing thingsDaniel Stenberg
right: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-11/0045.html so we now disable poll() and use select() on cygwin too (we already do the same choice on Mac OS X)
2005-11-11Dima Barsky patched problem #1348930: the GnuTLS code completely ignoredDaniel Stenberg
client certificates! (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1348930).
2005-11-10Fun while it lasted. New mirror already out-of-date.Daniel Stenberg
2005-11-10David Lang fixed IPv6 support for TFTP!Daniel Stenberg
2005-11-10Introducing range stepping to the curl globbing support. Now you can specifyDaniel Stenberg
step counter by adding :[num] within the brackets when specifying a range.
2005-11-08Removed the use of AI_CANONNAME in the IPv6-enabled resolver functions sinceDaniel Stenberg
we really have no use for reverse lookups of the address. I truly hope these are the last reverse lookups we had lingering in the code!
2005-11-08SSPI-fix and a new mirrorDaniel Stenberg
2005-11-05CurlPas 2005-11-05 was released: http://curlpas.sf.net/Daniel Stenberg
2005-10-31Vilmos Nebehaj improved libcurl's LDAP abilities:Daniel Stenberg
The LDAP code in libcurl can't handle LDAP servers of LDAPv3 nor binary attributes in LDAP objects. So, I made a quick patch to address these problems. The solution is simple: if we connect to an LDAP server, first try LDAPv3 (which is the preferred protocol as of now) and then fall back to LDAPv2. In case of binary attributes, we first convert them to base64, just like the openldap client does. It uses ldap_get_values_len() instead of ldap_get_values() to be able to retrieve binary attributes correctly. I defined the necessary LDAP macros in lib/ldap.c to be able to compile libcurl without the presence of libldap

2005-10-27tommink[at]post.pl reported in bug report #1337723Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1337723) that curl could not upload binary data from stdin on Windows if the data contained control-Z (hex 1a) since that is treated as end-of-file when read in text mode. Gisle Vanem pointed out the fix, and I made both -T and --data-binary take advantage of it.
2005-10-27Jaz Fresh pointed out that if you used "-r [number]" as was wrongly describedDaniel Stenberg
in the man page, curl would send an invalid HTTP Range: header. The correct way would be to use "-r [number]-" or even "-r -[number]". Starting now, curl will warn if this is discovered, and automatically append a dash to the range before passing it to libcurl.
2005-10-25multi IP socket description leak with multi interfaceDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-21Temprimus improved the MSVC makefile so that the static debug SSL libs areDaniel Stenberg
linked to the executable and not to the libcurld.lib http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1326676
2005-10-21Bradford Bruce made the windows resolver code properly returnDaniel Stenberg
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY and CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST on resolving errors (as documented).
2005-10-20Dave Dribin made libcurl understand and handle cases when the serverDaniel Stenberg
(wrongly) sends *two* WWW-Authenticate headers for Digest. While this should never happen in a sane world, libcurl previously got into an infinite loop when this occurred. Dave added test 273 to verify this.
2005-10-202 mirrors, 1 binding releaseDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-14Reverted the LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM change from October 6. As Dave DribinDaniel Stenberg
reported, the define is used by the configure script and is assumed to use the 0xYYXXZZ format. This made "curl-config --vernum" fail in the 7.15.0 release version.
2005-10-13start working on 7.15.1Daniel Stenberg
2005-10-137.15.0 timeDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-06we all the next version 7.15.0 due to the new TFTP supportDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-05mention the recent fixesDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-04Michael Wallner reported that the date parser had wrong offset stored forDaniel Stenberg
the MEST and CEST time zones.
2005-09-30a new mirror, but we don't increase the amount since one of the former onesDaniel Stenberg
are now officially no longer considered a mirror... ;-)
2005-09-27David Yan brought the Content-Range reportDaniel Stenberg
2005-09-27An anonymous submitter filed bug #1299181Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1299181) that identified a silly problem with Content-Range: headers with the 'bytes' keyword written in a different case than all lowercase! It would cause a segfault!
