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.
2006-02-19Shmulik Regev fixed an issue with multi-pass authentication and compressedDaniel Stenberg
content when libcurl didn't honor the internal ignorebody flag.
2006-02-18Ulf Härnhammar fixed a format string (printf style) problem in the NegotiateDaniel Stenberg
code. It should however not be the cause of any troubles. He also fixed a few similar problems in the HTTP test server code.
2006-02-16Shmulik Regev provided a fix for the DNS cache when using short life times,Daniel Stenberg
as previously it could be holding on to old cached entries longer than requested.
2006-02-11Karl M added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options thatDaniel Stenberg
an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at all after the connect is done.
2006-02-11Kent Boortz improved the configure check for GnuTLS to properly set LIBSDaniel Stenberg
instead of LDFLAGS.
2006-02-07Philippe Vaucher provided a brilliant piece of test code that show a problemDaniel Stenberg
with re-used FTP connections. If the second request on the same connection was set not to fetch a "body", libcurl could get confused and consider it an attempt to use a dead connection and would go acting mighty strange.
2006-02-01fixed --limit-rateDaniel Stenberg
2006-01-30Added CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE to libcurl. Set with theDaniel Stenberg
curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand. Not extensively tested. Please let me know how it works.
2006-01-30Based on an error report by Philippe Vaucher, we no longer count a retriedDaniel Stenberg
connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP connection is re-setup and 2) it does make the max-redirs counter behave wrong. This fix was not verified since the reporter vanished, but I believe this is the right fix nonetheless.
2006-01-29more mirrorsDaniel Stenberg
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.
