2010-01-11- Gil Weber reported a peculiar flaw with the multi interface when doing SFTPDaniel Stenberg
transfers: curl_multi_fdset() would return -1 and not set and file descriptors several times during a transfer of a single file. It turned out to be due to two different flaws now fixed. Gil's excellent recipe helped me nail this.
2010-01-11progress callback called repeatedly during slow connectsDaniel Stenberg
2010-01-09struct Curl_sh_entry's 'inuse' member was no longer used and is now removedDaniel Stenberg
2010-01-08- Johan van Selst found and fixed a OpenSSL session ref count leak:Daniel Stenberg
ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid introducing a memory leak. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2926284)
2010-01-06- Make sure the progress callback is called repeatedly even during very slowDaniel Stenberg
name resolves when c-ares is used for resolving.
2010-01-06Julien Chaffraix fixed so that the fragment part in an URL is not sent to ↵Claes Jakobsson
the server anymore
2010-01-02- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specificDaniel Stenberg
versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones (listed and documented).
2010-01-01- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. ThisDaniel Stenberg
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
2009-12-30VMS build system enhancements by Steven M. Schweda and Craig A. BerryYang Tse
2009-12-25- Renato Botelho and Peter Pentchev brought a patch that makes the libcurlDaniel Stenberg
headers work correctly even on FreeBSD systems before v8.
2009-12-19fixed a precaution check in the cookie code, pointed out by Julien ChaffraixDaniel Stenberg
2009-12-17- David Byron fixed Curl_ossl_cleanup to actually call ENGINE_cleanup whenDaniel Stenberg
available.
2009-12-14- Jon Nelson found a regression that turned out to be a flaw in how libcurlDaniel Stenberg
detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added test case 1106 that verifies this functionality. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2913886)
2009-12-12IMAP, POP3 and SMTP supportDaniel Stenberg
2009-12-10- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retryDaniel Stenberg
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the 4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_. Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a 4xx response. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)
2009-12-10- Constantine Sapuntzakis figured out a case which would lead to libcurlDaniel Stenberg
accessing alredy freed memory and thus crash when using HTTPS (with OpenSSL), multi interface and the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and a certain order of cleaning things up. I fixed it. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
2009-12-07- Martin Storsjo made libcurl use the Expect: 100-continue header for postsDaniel Stenberg
with unknown size. Previously it was only used for posts with a known size larger than 1024 bytes.
2009-12-01- If the Expect: 100-continue header has been set by the application throughDaniel Stenberg
curl_easy_setopt with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, the library should set data->state.expect100header accordingly - the current code (in 7.19.7 at least) doesn't handle this properly. Martin Storsjo provided the fix!
2009-11-29a binding for FalconDaniel Stenberg
2009-11-277.20.0 is the planned next version numberDaniel Stenberg
2009-11-27- Markus Koetter provided a polished and updated version of Chad Monroe's TFTPDaniel Stenberg
rework patch that now integrates TFTP properly into libcurl so that it can be used non-blocking with the multi interface and more. BLKSIZE also works. The --tftp-blksize option was added to allow setting the TFTP BLKSIZE from the command line.
2009-11-23- David Byron modified Makefile.dist vc8 and vc9 targets in order to allowYang Tse
finer granularity control when generating src and lib makefiles.
2009-11-23- Bjorn Augustsson reported a bug which made curl not report any problems evenDaniel Stenberg
though it failed to write a very small download to disk (done in a single fwrite call). It turned out to be because fwrite() returned success, but there was insufficient error-checking for the fclose() call which tricked curl to believe things were fine.
2009-11-20- Constantine Sapuntzakis identified a write after close, as the sockets wereDaniel Stenberg
closed by libcurl before the SSL lib were shutdown and they may write to its socket. Detected to at least happen with OpenSSL builds.
2009-11-20- Jad Chamcham pointed out a bug with connection re-use. If a connection hadDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.
2009-11-17- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided another fix for the DNS cache that couldDaniel Stenberg
end up with entries that wouldn't time-out: 1. Set up a first web server that redirects (307) to a http://server:port that's down 2. Have curl connect to the first web server using curl multi After the curl_easy_cleanup call, there will be curl dns entries hanging around with in_use != 0. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
2009-11-17- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure intoDaniel Stenberg
its pkg-config file. So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
2009-11-14Added '--configure' option to curl-config to display original configure ↵Claes Jakobsson
arguments when curl was built
2009-11-14- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS whenDaniel Stenberg
--with-nss is set but not "yes". I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc, but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
2009-11-14- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE forDaniel Stenberg
the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)
2009-11-14- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connectionYang Tse
won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.
2009-11-11Add last change creditYang Tse
2009-11-11- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapiYang Tse
and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.
2009-11-11- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
2009-11-11- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properlyDaniel Stenberg
used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
2009-11-05I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement inYang Tse
curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.
2009-11-04- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed theDaniel Stenberg
wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring less than 100 bytes.

2009-11-02- As reported independent by both Stan van de Burgt and Didier Brisebourg,Daniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD (the -w variable size_download) didn't work when getting data from ldap!
2009-10-31- Gabriel Kuri reported a problem with CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD if theDaniel Stenberg
download was 0 bytes, as libcurl would then return the size as unknown (-1) and not 0. I wrote a fix and test case 566 to verify it.
2009-10-30- Liza Alenchery mentioned a problem with re-used SCP connection when a badDaniel Stenberg
auth is used, as it caused a crash. I failed to repeat the issue, but still made a change that now forces the TCP connection used for a freed SCP session to get closed and not be re-used.
2009-10-30- "Tom" posted a bug report that mentioned how libcurl did wrong when doing aDaniel Stenberg
POST using a read callback, with Digest authentication and "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" enforced. I would then cause the first request to be wrongly sent and then basically hang until the server closed the connection. I fixed the problem and added test case 565 to verify it.
2009-10-25- Dima Barsky made the curl cookie parser accept cookies even with blank orDaniel Stenberg
unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.
2009-10-21- Attempt to use pkg-config for finding out libssh2 installation detailsDaniel Stenberg
during configure.

2009-10-21- A patch in bug report #2883177 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2883177)Daniel Stenberg
by user 'koresh' introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to read.
2009-10-18- Ray Dassen provided a patch in Debian's bug tracker (bug number #551461)Daniel Stenberg
that now makes curl_getdate(3) actually handles RFC 822 formatted dates that use the "single letter military timezones". http://www.rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/822/chapter5.html has the details.
2009-10-18- Fixed memory leak in the SCP/SFTP code as it never freed the knownhostsDaniel Stenberg
data!
2009-10-18John Dennis filed bug report #2873666Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2873666) which identified a problem which made libcurl loop infinitely when given incorrect credentials when using HTTP GSS negotiate authentication.
