2007-07-17Jofell Gallardo posted a libcurl log using FTP that exposed a bug which madeDaniel Stenberg
a control connection that was deemed "dead" to yet be re-used in a following request. We must make sure the connection gets closed on this situation.
2007-07-13Colin Hogben filed bug report #1750274Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1750274) and submitted a patch for the case where libcurl did a connect attempt to a non-listening port and didn't provide a human readable error string back.
2007-07-13Daniel Cater made libcurl build with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined (which doesn'tDaniel Stenberg
define the symbols for backwards source compatibility)
2007-07-12Made the krb5 code build with Heimdal's GSSAPI libDaniel Stenberg
2007-07-12Shmulik Regev found an (albeit rare) case where the proxy CONNECT operationDaniel Stenberg
could in fact get stuck in an endless loop.
2007-07-11Made CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 acts as described in the documentation:Daniel Stenberg
fail to connect if there is no Common Name field found in the remote cert. We should deprecate the support for this set to 1 anyway soon, since the feature is pointless and most likely never really used by anyone.
2007-07-10Shmulik Regev:Daniel Stenberg
The tiny patch below fixes a bug (that I introduced :) which happens when negotiating authentication with a proxy (probably with web servers as well) that uses chunked transfer encoding for the 407 error pages. In this case the ''ignorebody'' flag was ignored (no pun intended).
2007-07-10Giancarlo Formicuccia reported and fixed a problem with a closed connectionDaniel Stenberg
to a proxy during CONNECT auth negotiation.
2007-07-10Force the time zone to GMT in the cookie tests in case the user isDan Fandrich
using one of the so-called 'right' time zones that take into account leap seconds, which causes the tests to fail (as reported by Daniel Black in bug report #1745964).

2007-07-06Gavrie Philipson's change, updated numbersDaniel Stenberg
2007-07-01Thomas J. Moore provided a patch that introduces Kerberos5 support inDaniel Stenberg
libcurl. This also makes the options change name to --krb (from --krb4) and CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL (from CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL) but the old names are still
2007-07-01Song Ma helped me verify and extend a fix for doing FTP over a SOCKS4/5 proxyDaniel Stenberg
2007-06-28reality syncDaniel Stenberg
2007-06-26Robert Iakobashvili re-arranged the internal hash code to work with a customDaniel Stenberg
hash function for different hashes, and also expanded the default size for the socket hash table used in multi handles to greatly enhance speed when very many connections are added and the socket API is used.
2007-06-25Adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth orDaniel Stenberg
chunked encoding (that also lacks "Connection: close"). It now simply assumes that the connection WILL be closed to signal the end, as that is how RFC2616 section 4.4 point #5 says we should behave.
2007-06-25start working towards 7.16.4Daniel Stenberg
2007-06-24As reported by "Tro" in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0161.html andDaniel Stenberg
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0238.html, libcurl didn't properly do no-body requests on FTP files on re-used connections properly, or at least it didn't provide the info back in the header callback properly in the subsequent requests.
2007-06-21Gerrit Bruchhäuser pointed out a warning that the Intel(R) Thread CheckerDaniel Stenberg
tool reports and it was indeed a legitimate one and it is one fixed. It was a use of a share without doing the proper locking first.
2007-06-20Adam Piggott filed bug report #1740263Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1740263). Adam discovered that when getting a large amount of URLs with curl, they were fetched slower and slower... which turned out to be because the --libcurl data collecting which wrongly always was enabled, but no longer is...
2007-06-18Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1739100Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1739100) that mentioned that libcurl could not actually list the contents of the root directory of a given FTP server if the login directory isn't root. I fixed the problem and added three test cases (one is disabled for now since I identified KNOWN_BUGS #44, we cannot use --ftp-method nocwd and list ftp directories).
2007-06-14Shmulik Regev fixed a flaw in the multi interface that occurred when doingDaniel Stenberg
HTTP CONNECT over a proxy
2007-06-14s/HAVE_POLL/HAVE_SYS_POLL_HDaniel Stenberg
2007-06-13Tom Regner provided a patch and worked together with James Housley, so nowDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS works for SFTP connections as well as FTP ones.
2007-06-13Rich Rauenzahn filed bug report #1733119Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1733119) and we collaborated on the fix. The problem is that for 64bit HPUX builds, several socket-related functions would still assume int (32 bit) arguments and not socklen_t (64 bit) ones.
2007-06-07Daniel S (6 June 2007)Daniel Stenberg
- -s/--silent can now be used to toggle off the silence again if used a second time. Daniel S (5 June 2007) - Added Daniel Black's work that adds the first few SOCKS test cases. I also fixed two minor SOCKS problems to make the test cases run fine.
2007-05-31When transferring 500 downloads in parallel with a c-ares enabled build onlyDaniel Stenberg
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in use.
2007-05-31Feng Tu made (lib)curl support "upload" resuming work for file:// URLs.Daniel Stenberg
2007-05-30Added CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS which is a curl_multi_setopt() option for settingDaniel Stenberg
the maximum size of the connection cache maximum size of the multi handle.
2007-05-26When working with a problem Stefan Becker had, I found an off-by-one bufferDaniel Stenberg
overwrite in Curl_select(). While fixing it, I also improved its performance somewhat by changing calloc to malloc and breaking out of a loop earlier (when possible).
2007-05-25Rob Crittenden fixed bug #1705802Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1705802), which was filed by Daniel Black identifying several FTP-SSL test cases fail when we build libcurl with NSS for TLS/SSL. Listed as #42 in KNOWN_BUGS.
2007-05-22Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a memory leak when PKCS #12 parsing failedDaniel Stenberg
2007-05-22Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a memory leak in the function that verifies theDaniel Stenberg
peer's name in the SSL certificate when built for OpenSSL. The leak happens for libcurls with CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS enabled that fail to convert the CN name from UTF8.
2007-05-18Feng Tu reported that curl -w did wrong on TFTP transfers inDaniel Stenberg
bug report #1715394 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1715394), and the transfer-related info "variables" were indeed overwritten with zeroes wrongly and have now been adjusted. The upload size still isn't accurate.
2007-05-17Feng Tu pointed out a division by zero error in the TFTP connect timeoutDaniel Stenberg
code for timeouts less than fice seconds, and also provided a fix for it.
2007-05-15Added support for quote commands before a transfer using SFTP and testDan Fandrich
case 614. Allow SFTP quote commands chmod, chown, chgrp to set a value of 0.
2007-05-09Kristian Gunstone fixed a problem where overwriting an uploaded file withDan Fandrich
sftp didn't truncate it first, which would corrupt the file if the new file was shorter than the old.
2007-05-07James Bursa fixed a bug in the multi handle code that made the connectionDaniel Stenberg
cache grow a bit too much, beyond the normal 4 * easy_handles.
2007-05-02Anders Gustafsson remarked that requiring CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION set to 1.0Daniel Stenberg
when CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES is used to avoid the problem mentioned below is not very nice if the client wants to be able to use _either_ a HTTP 1.1 server or one within the aliases list... so starting now, libcurl will simply consider 200-alias matches the to be HTTP 1.0 compliant.
2007-05-02Tobias Rundstrom reported a problem they experienced with xmms2 and recentDaniel Stenberg
libcurls, which turned out to be the 25-nov-2006 change which treats HTTP responses without Content-Length or chunked encoding as without bodies. We now added the conditional that the above mentioned response is only without body if the response is HTTP 1.1.
2007-05-02- Jeff Pohlmeyer improved the hiperfifo.c example to use theDaniel Stenberg
CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION callback option.
2007-05-02- Set the timeout for easy handles to expire really soon after addition orDaniel Stenberg
when CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM is returned from curl_multi_socket*/perform, to make applications using only curl_multi_socket() to properly function when adding easy handles "on the fly". Bug report and test app provided by Michael Wallner.
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.
2007-04-22configure fix and new mirrorDaniel Stenberg
